He admired his versatility, courage, power
for hard work and insight into the needs
of his country. His Majesty added that he
watched Mayor Seth Lows administration
OF New York because he thought it impor-
tant to the commercial world that New
York city should be well governed. The
Emperor also said he was very sorry An
drew D. White, the United States ambassa-
dor, was leaving his court. He had the
most cordial feeling for him personally be-
cause of the man he is and for his services
in fostering good will between Germany
and the United States.
General Corbin had an opportunity to pre-
sent President Roosevelt's message about
the st. Louis exposition and Emperor Will
liam said that he would see that Germany
had a good representation. 81 will send

not see a horse which was blown out"
He considered 1t to be magnificent per-
Torrance and did not believe any cavalry
in the world could surpass it.
General Corbin and Earl Roberts both
said, in summing up their impression of
the most wonderful in the world There
may possibly be a difference among mill
tary men," General Corbin said, las to GER
tain details, but the army altogether is
matchless."
What pleased the American general as
much as anything was the spirit of the
troops; the love of the privates for the
army. The Americans had a notion that
the rank and file had to be dragooned
into the service, but instead of that being
so they liked to serve and admired the
army beyond any other institution in the
country. The German soldiers love for the
army was in itself a tremendous force.

sbility of Prince Henry of Prussia's Sec
ond visit to the United States. Emperor
William said Prince Henry might go next

Great, presented by his Majesty to the
United States, is unveiled at Washington,
although the princes sea duties might
prevent this.
Field Marshal Count Won waldersee told
the Americans that he hoped next year to
see them in the United States; he had been
intending to visit the countesss country
for some time, and he now believed he
could say he had an opportunity to go.
Count Won Waldersee, although seventy
seven years old. is still on the active list
of the army. He was on horseback for
hours every day during the maneuvers.
