The Kaiser Wilhelm II weighed
Kiel thru the canal. A banquet was
served on board the warship.
AS the steamer drew near to CuX-
haven Prince Henry received the cor
respondent of the Associated Press in
his cabin.
The prince said:
Il desire to send a last word thru
you to America, to say how deeply
grateful 1 am for the measureless
kindness I received while there. i
tried to say this before I left, but l
want to say again that am grateful
for the cordial and generous manner
in which the people and the president
of the United States received me. /
met and talked with as many individ-
uals as I could, but, of course, / saw
most of the people in crowds and
only from the railroad car
platform and only long enough to
touch my sap or take off my hat to
them. wish to thank all those thous-
ands for the trouble they took"
The prince spoke with feeling.
Il had no opportunity" he continued,
"of studying the details of the industry
as 1 would like to have DONE"
AS to the fatigue OF the trip the
prince said:
II was often tired and / had to be
careful of what I said both publicly
and privately. But since my long
sleeps on board the Deutschland / |
would be ready to return to America
at once for just such another trip
This one has been so full of pleasure
and instruction. 1t is good thing
to look upan another people face to
face and form your own Impressions"
Concerning his speech at Philadel-
phia, Prince Henry said:
1T seemed proper 1 should make
some such utterance, for there are al
ways some undercurrents running that
have to be taken into account. What
said in my Philadelphia speech was
the truth. 1t might have
been thought that during my talks
with President Roosevelt and my ride
With him alone l might have said a
word or two of political character,
but such was not the case. No political
topic was alluded to on either side"
Prince Henry referred to President
attentions and said he had
lot received the presidents farewell
telegram, AS he was by that time at
sea, and that he only saw the text of
he message upon his arrival at Ply
mouth.
