Counsel Diederick's speech.
United States Consul Henry w. Died
erich of Bremen. made a speech at the
twentieth annual dinner of the Navi-
gators Guild at Bremen yesterday
evening, that has been more talked
of to-day than any other incident con-
rected with Prince Henry's departure:
Mr.. Diederich, after dwelling on va
rious reasons for amity between Ger
many. United States and Great Britain,
said:
Prince Henry is not going to Amer
lea to establish a new alliance of
friendship: but to give renewed ex-
pression to the old, friendly relations
natural to the triple relationship of
Germany, United States and Great
Britain. Here is a dreibund created
by heaven, and not by the arts of df-
plomacy. The great sections of the
Germanic people should be united in
close ties of friendship. for the ad-
vancement of peace and civilization. ="
Mr.. Diederichs remarks were cheered
tremendously
When THE Ladies" were toasted, the
name of Miss Alice Roosevelt was
heartily cheered.
Prince Henry was unable to be pres
ent at the dinner, owing to the prepa-
rations being made for his departure
for the United States. The Prince, how
ever, read on the train a printed re-
port of Mr.. Diederich's speech and
when the consul met him at Bremen
haven station and wished the Prince a
pleasant journey, Prince Henry con-
grltulated him or his speech and
thanked him for the sentiments ex-
pressed.
