Berlin, January s6.-When Emperor
William bids Prince Henry of Prussia
farewell prior to the latter's departure for
the United States their parting will be
simple private affair. The leayetaking will
assume the form of a military act, in which
an officer receives the last instructions
from his sovereign before going on an inn
portant mission. 1t is understood that his
majesty will give Prince Henry written
memorandum Of what he wishes his royal
brother to communicate to President
Roosevelt
Prince Henry, who is now here, will re-
turn to Kiel February 10 and remain there
until he goes to Bremen to embark for the
United States The various members of
the princes party will assemble at Bre-
men February Il. The sailing of Prince
Henry will not be marked by any special
ceremony. 1t is still however, possible
that Emperor William will disregard the
program and bid farewell to his brother in
a more public manner at Bremen.
The dinner to be given in Prince Henry's
honor under the auspices of the New York
Stats Zeitung TO the press of the United
States is a feature of the princes diver
sion which is attracting the most attention
here. Prince Henry himself asked partic-
ularly about this feature of the program,
and when told that some of the editors
would probably travel 5000 miles to be
present ne expressed wonder
DR.. Barth says in the Nation today
THAT Prince Henry as the representative
of the German emperor, comes in imme-
diate contact with the press is a particu-
larly happy thought, The modern spirit
inspiring the whole expedition is brought
sharply into view through the emperor S
brother becoming the guests of journal
lists Prince Henrys attitude toward the
press when in the United States has been
the subject of consideration between his
councillors. 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 is
sued through the official channels. His
majesty hes maps of Berlin and New York
on the same scale, When he first COM
pared them the other day he remarked
'Why, New York would stretch to Pots
dam" His majesty then asked member
of his household the number of New York's
inhabitants.
New York has three millions" was the
reply.
mo" said the emperor, -four millions
His majesty has taken the leading New
York newspapers since Prince Henry''
trip was planned; has marked articles
which he thought would interest thu
princes suite, and has sent them to thu
prince. -.
The principal German newspapers vii
send special correspondents to New Yorl
on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm. Among then
will be Captain Dsigenhauer of the Loka
Anzeiger, Al Huen of the Vossische lei
tung and Konrad Alberts, editor OF TIL
Berlin Morning Post. Lsder Barth, in tn
Nation. recognizes the great services o
the United States ambassador here, An
drew D. White, in preventing misunder
standings between the two countries. II
saws: "Mr. Whites political work has no
been in vain. Prince Henry's visit is a
impressive manifestation of the Germa
empires desire to cherish its friendshi
for the American republic"
