Berlin, Jan. 25.-When Emperor Will
liam bids Prince Henry of Prussia
farewell prior to the latter's departure
for the United States their parting
will be a simple, private affair. No
speeches for publication will be ex-
changed. The taking will as
sumo the form of a military farewell,
in which an officer receives the last
instructions from his sovereign before
going on an important mission. 1t
is understood that His Majesty will
give Prince Henry written memoran-
da of what he wishes his royal brother
to communicate to President Roose-
welt. Prince Henry, who is now here,
will return to Kiel, Feb. 10, and re-
main there till he goes to Bremen to
embark for the United States. The
various members of the Princes party
will assembled at Bremen, Feb. Il.
The sailing of Prince Henry will not
be marked by any special ceremony.
nor so far >as known, will any mem
ber of the royal house see the Prince
off.
The foregoing are the arrangements
as communicated to the correspondent
of the Associated Press to-day, but
1t is still quite possible that Emperor

pedition is brought sharply into view
through the Emperor's brother becom-

Prince Henry's attitude towards the
press when in the United States has
been the subject of consideration by
his counsellors. While the Prince will
not be interviewed, he desires to show
respect for the profession, and will
give an audience to the newspaper
men, with the understanding that he
is not to be quoted. What the Prince
has to say will be issued through the
official channels.
Every detail of the trip interests
Emperor William, who has given in
structions regarding the fiow-
ers, which will grace the
tables at the luncheon on board
the Hohenzollern. His Majesty has
maps of Berlin and New York on the
same scale. When ne first compared
them, the other day, the Emperor re-
marked:
"why, New York would stretch to
Potsdam."
His Majesty then asked a number of
his household the number of New
York's inhabitants"
New York had three millions" was
the reply.
NO" said the Empress, -four mil
lions"
His Majesty has taken the leading
New York newspapers since Prince
Henry's trip was planned, has marked
articles which he thought would inter
est the Princes suite, and has sent
them to the Prince.
