Present to Miss Alice ROOse-
welt From the Ger

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-The secretary of the
imperial admiralty, Admiral Won Tir-
pitt. and the chief Of Emperor VIII
liam's personal military staff, General
Won Plessen, are to accompany Admit
raj Prince Henry Of Prussia on the
latter's visit to the United States. The
other members of the princes suit, be-
sides Vice Admiral Baron Won Seek
endorf and Adiutants Won Schwind
and Won Egidy. whose names have al.
ready been announced. will be Cap
tain Won Tretha. the emperor's gener-
al aid-de-camp: Captain Won Mueller;
Commander Won Grumme, who is also
an aid-de-camp of the emperor, and
Staff Surgeon Reich.
His majesty definitely made these
selections after conferences in which
Admiral Won Seckendorff took part, at
the old schloss Admiral Won Secken-
dorff in giving the correspondent these
names said:
arrangements that can he made on this
side. The details as to how Prince
Henry shall spend his time in the
United States are left to Secretary
Hay and DR.. Won Holleben. But our
general idea of the dates is this: We
arrive on the Kronprinz Wilhelm Feb.
% at New York and not at Hampton
Roads, as first reported. Prince Hen
nv will go on board the Hohenzollern
and will stay there till the launching
of the emperor's new yacht which. we
think, will probably be Feb. "a. We
go to Washington to see the president
and perhaps stay there several days.
Then we make the most of the next
few days in seeing other cities, return
ing to New York for two more days
before we sail for home on the Deutsch-
land March 8. This general design,
YOU see. fills up about four weeks. one
week in going each way and a fort
night in the United States"
1t was suggested to Admiral Won
Seckendorff that two weeks was not
enough for the prince to see much or
America and that he ought to spend a
longer time in the United States and
90 west and south, to which the adj
miral replied:
1T would be difficult for his royal
highness to spend a much longer time
there. though the Deutschlands sailing
can be delayed day or two if it seems
desirable.
May Visit Chicago.
"An invitation from Chicago is men,
toned, l see, but l am unable to say
whether it will be accepted. That Will
be left to your people. Prince Henry
simply wishes to spend his time as
Washington may think to be to his best
advantage. He looks forward with
keen interest to the trip and expects to
get pleasure and instruction out of it,
Regret was expressed at the fact that
the emperor could not visit the United
States.
He would like to- said Admiral Won
Seckendorff. but we cannot spare nm
for so long journey now"
The admiral was asked If it was pos
sible the emperor might visit the Unit
ed States at some future time.
1T would please him greatly an

Admiral Won SeckendOrff visited Nor
folk in 1860 on the Prussian warship
Victoria and was at San Francisco In
1872 on the old German warship Her
tina, which has since been replaced by
a new cruiser of the same name. The
old Hertha was the first imperial Ger
man warship to visit the Pacific coast.
She went to San Francisco after leav-
ing Japan.
The Local Anzeiger prints the fol-
lowing: emperor William has COM
lnissoned Prince Henry ito meet the
prominent New York yachtsmen and
invite them to participate in the kiei
regattas, beginning June 20. Prince

seamen may participate in the barge
races Prince Henry bears valuable
