The National Zeitung has page
editorial on the friendship between the
United States and Germany ending in
these words;
The only object OF the visit of
Prince Henry to the United States is
the cultivation Of this sentiment The
German Emperor could give the United
States no better proof OF the feelings
and sentiment animating him and the
German people. in regard to the great
ness and development of the Union as
civilizing power. than in sending his
brother there. Prince Henry goes. as
it were, as the interpreter of Ger
many's friendship for the United
States. He is the first German prince
from the old reigning house who treads
the soil of the great republic. and un-
doubtedly his mountaineering with
the most prominent men of the Union
will exercise q beneficial effect upon
national relations.
The visit of Prince Henry must dis
sipate all the foolish and malicious as
sertions OF political antagoni4m be-
tween Germany and the United States
and of German plans of conquest In
the American ship here OF influence
and instead thereof. strengthen and es-
tablish feelings of mutual recognition
and equality of standing"
