KAISER LIKED 1T.
He Expresses Pleasure Over Miss
Roosevelt's Telegram.


Berlin, March 5-Emperor william.
instead of being displeased with the tel
egram of Miss Alice Roosevelt concern
ing the launching of the Meteor as some
of the English newspapers aver, because
of its familiar tone. was, on the con-
trary, very much pleased with it.
A member of the cabinet relates that
after an audience with Emperor Will
liam, February 26, official business hav-
ing been finished, he was about to leave
when the kaiser remarked:
Il must show you the charming tele-
gram 1 have Just received from Miss
Alice Roosevelt"
To other members of his entoura ge
the emperor has also expressed mis-
pleasure over this telegram and has
praised its natural and unconStrained
form.
The correspondent here of the Associ-
ated Press has been officially informed
of Emperor Williams satisfaction at
the reception accorded to Prince Henry.
The inform ant of the correspondent had
seen all Emperor Williams marginal
notes on the reports of Prince Henry s
trip. He said:
His majesty is in the highest degree
pleased with Prince Henry's reception
from his arrival in America and espec-
tally with that accorded by President
Roosevelt and family. The emperor has
also expressed himself as delighted with
the enthusiasm of the welcome to his
brother"
During an audience with Prof. Kuno
FRANKIE, of Harvard, Emperor William
expressed himself as highly satisfied
with Prince Henry's reception and said
he looked forward with particular inter-
est to the princes visit to Cambridge.
Emperor William sent for Prof. Fra nike
as a compliment to Harvard university.
The German newspaper men are inn
mensely impressed with Prince Henry s
bearing toward the newspaper men OF
the United States and believe that En-
peror Williams perception of the 1nEu-
ence of the press on national opinion in
the United States will affect favorabiy
the relations of the crown to the home
press.
Herr Bachem, the editor of the
Cologne Woke Zeitung,~ in an article
in which he intimateS the previous con-
clusion. contrasts the social and poifti-
cal positions of editors here and in the
United States where newspaper men
are selected to serve as cabinet minis
ters and ambassadors, not because they
are better educated more able, but,
Herr Bachem says, because they receive
high salaries. --s -t-e-
Herr Bachem is of the opinion that
the journey of Prince Henry will not
modify the aspirations of the United
States, which are conceived to be first,
to break into European markets while
excluding Europe from its own markets
and second, to divide the mastery of the
seas with Great Britain
Germany's political relations, he says,
will certainly be improved as a result
of the visit of the prince and mutual
good feeling will be increased but Ger
many must expect the United States to
pursue it's own economic aims and Ger
many must do likewise.
Herr Liebermann Won SOnnenberg
(radical antisemite) who made a violent
outburst against Mr.. Chamberlain, the
British Colonial secretary, last January,
said in the reichstag today that the
visit of Prince Henry would lead to.
friendly rapprochement between the
United States and Germany.
The Kreuz Zeitung, one of whose
favorite topics is American hatred for
Germany, says today that the visit of
Prince Henry has already initiated a
transformation for the better. The pa
per says:
1.-The visit is calculated permanently
to enlighten American public opinion to
the fact that neither hostile nor even
unfriendly sentiments are manifested or
cherished by the German empire against
the American people"
The Kreuz Zeitung devotes two
columns to advocating the establish
ment of a direct news service between
Germany and the United States avoid
ing English channels where, the paper
assumes, intelligence is given political
basis.
