the hnal outcome of the imperial transatlantic
voyage, the consensus of opinion here is that

era Of political friendship between the United

from the ponderous leading article in the

Henry Of Prussia goes forth as the hand of iron

The Temps concludes by laying stress on the
Jealous rivalry shown by England and Germany.
