ted States, Great Britain and Germany

merce. Germany is a, growing nation.
The kaiser is fully acquainted with the
relations between the Transatlantic
Shipping company which Mr.. Morgan
has formed and the German steamship
companies. In fact the kaiser is ac-
quainted with all the details, and shows
a marvellous grasp of Current affairs.
While we were on board the Meteor
he assumed charge and directed like a.
lifelong seaman; in fact, he would have
led the Meteor in as a winner of the
first prize except for the large handicap
given the boat.
THE kaiser sympathizes with our eff
forts In doing away with unnecessary
competition between the various trans
atlantic lines and effecting economy
I have no doubt the kaiser is becom-
ing more and more popular, not only
among his own people, but in other
countries When Prince Henry visited
the United States a member of the New
York Yacht club decided to make a re-
turn by coming over to the meeting at

separation and which was cited In court
forcibly suggests the mental agonies OF
two people married but not mated Fol-
lowing are some passages from the
letter:

gulf between US in temperament and

have been made under any circum-
stances. You were intelligent enough to
understand it had you not been blinded
by the most profound selfshness.

If you wanted a wife OF that sort you
should have chosen either a very pious
one. ready to lend herself to all sacri-
fees, because she had some supreme
hopes, or a very ugly or very old one
to whom life promised nothing. But
you have wanted a wife well raised, ac-
customed to society and elegant You
should have given her the life you prom

sermons dictated by your supreme ego

her to receive her friends even as he
