Berlin, March TO- A progressive

finds compliments for the way in
which Prince Henry has pleased the
Americans; DR.. Barth of the Nation
says:
"He has acted as a free, modern
man among free men, without a
trace Of that narrow souled haughti-
ness which junkerdom regards as
the indispensable etiquette Of rank"
Prince Henry's tact and good sense
are praised here by all the political
groups except the socialists, who con-
time their unpleasant criticism,
averring that his reception was sim
ply wealth prostrating itself before
inherited rank"
The princes democratic ways are
looked upon with wonder by society,
which regards the person of a Hollen-
zollern as something almost sacred.
1t can not be understood here how
the prince could shake hands with
unknown and obscure persons. The
incident of the governor of Minnesota
tapping Prince Henry on the shoulder
and speaking familiary to him is re-
lated with absolute amazement. Yet
there is not the least criticism of
American manners, such things being
treated as quite proper under re-
public
Summing up the results of the jour
ney, not one Of the papers assumes
that it will have grave consequences,
but all of the agree it will cause
more kindly feeling between the two
countries, which is precisely the result
that could do the most good. Some
of the journalistic enemies of the
United States find it difficult to re-
strain themselves amid this festive
period. The Kreuz Zeitung grants
that the demonstrations are immense
and that Americans never do anything
in small way, but the paper adds
that everything runs into the gig.
Caring nothing for the intrinsic char
acter of the achievements the only
requisite is to strike the eye and
make an imposing appearance. No
deeper impression is made. The edi-
tor thinks it is due ito the demo
cratic conditions where the crowd
decides, and that ancient moods con-
troll politics"
Prince Henry's Homecoming is
beginning to be anticipated. He will
disembark at Cuxhaven, where it is
said Emperor William will welcome
him.

princes party, showing them leaving

Free Beer.
The hospitality of the Americans to
the crew Of the Hohenzollern is re-
ferred to as being like promised
land where milk and honey do not
flow. There are wine and beer in
plenty, and everything free when the
men go ashore to ball or theater,
the elevated roads, electric roads and
ferries all costing them nothing, and
it is further said that free beer is
even seen on board the Hohenzoll-
ern. ''The first installment," said a
member of the Hohenzollern crew. in
letter to his home. was 40 casks.
Our only business is to drink. The
city meets every wish of the crew
Immediately. Twenty-eight invitations
were received for the entire crew of
the Hohenzollern, which can only be
accepted after the first festivities in
honor of the prince are over.
"The brewers almost quarreled for
the privilege Of sending us beer. and
the wagons carrying it were made es-
pecially for us and were painted in
the German colors, the drivers wear
ing German livery. You would
scarcely believe what the people
offer u.s."
The United States ambassador,
Andrew White, has gone to the Rivi-
era with his wife and daughter. They
will be absent six weeks.
