The prince spoke with feeling.
Il had no opportunity he continued. "of
studying the details of industry as would
like to have done"
AS to the fatigue of the trip, the prince
said: II was often tired. and 1 had to be
careful Of what I said. both publicly and
privately. But since my long sleeps on
board the Deutschland, I 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 upon another people face to
face and form your own Impressions"
A dispatch from Berlin says: number
of the papers here published editorials wei
coming Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia
back to Germany, and sum up the results
of his trip to the United States with great
satisfaction. Der Post expects a perma-
nent change in the attitude of the German
public toward the United States. and says:

the old legends about American character
and civilization. We must admit that be-
hind the sea, and almost in the sunlight OF
the most modern times, a people has grown
up which in its peculiar character can
make just claim to be recognized as the
equal of the old civilized countries. Hence
forth our judgment of affairs In the United
States should not be influenced and con-
trolled by pictures from the wild west.

Nevertheless, the paper cannot suppress
