kaiser invites the daughter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO ehristen his new
yacht, building in an American ship
yard. and Miss Roosevelt consents.
The president and the kaiser exchange
Friendly salutations by cable. 1t is

coming 10 the United States presuma-
bly, to witness the launching of the

srs, tend TO increase and strengthen
the bonds Of Friendship existing be-
tween the two countries, which have so
much In common.
