Emperor William of Germay and His Activities

wiped out by a trained navy like that Of
Spain.
"If 1t is not" he concluded, "the war
will continue until the resources of both
nations are exhausted"
And what will happen then, pray?'
asked the American.
"Oh!" was the reply, Germany will
then have its innings. II will come in and
be the arbitrator and settle all matters be-
tween the two nations"
Such opinions Of the Americans changed
rapidly as the Spanish war went on. The
emperor foresaw the result at the start,
and he gave his o1icials the cue. He
changed public opinion so that today the
best of the Germans are anxious to be as
ISOLATED with US and some of their ablest
thinkers believe that this is their only
chance for a permanently successful for
eign trade.
Indeed. the m are more astounded
at Americas growth than any other ma
tiOn OF Europe. They measure their mil
lions In 25-cent pieces or marks, and a
German needs to be only one-fourth as
rich as an American to be a millionaire.
The real millionalres are very few, and
there are no enormous fortunes like those
of our country. The people are scared at
our big trusts. The iron men do not see
how they can compete with the United
States Steel company, and the exporters
are frightened by the steamship merger.
In the Reichstag our balance Of trade is
steadily brought to the front. 1t is shown
that for ten years we have had a bigger
trade balance in our favor than double the
war indemnity paid by France to Germany,
and the question is asked how soon
Europe will be drained of its gold IL $780,
600. 900 is to annually roll across the At
lantie.
doubt whether the kaiser Is as alarmed
over the American peril as some Of his
high officials. He certainly will not in
dorse the prophecies of Baron Won Walter
hansen. the famous professor of political
economy In the University Of Strasburg.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-05

officials. Pierpont Morgan was recently
made much of by his majesty, and an en-
tertainment which the kaiser gave to prom
inent Americans at Kiel was probably ac-
tuated by the desire to cultivate American
trade.
All this has materially increased the
standing OF Americans in the eyes Of the
Germans. American travellers are better
treated and American goods are more popu-
lar. l have shown you how our styles are
largely supplanting those of Paris and Lon
don and how the trademark made in the
United States now ranks above made in
England" or made in Germany"
Indeed the Germans are very proud Of
their emperor and they follow his lead
more than is generally supposed. They copy
his manners and dress. Take for instance
the ugly green hats with feathers in them
which you often see on the streets of Ber-
lin and other German cities. No American
would wear one. but the German patriot is
proud to do SO because the emperor wears
such a hat when out hunting. 1 will not
say that when the kaiser takes snuffs all
Germany sneezes, but there is no doubt
that IT is due to his example hat the most
OF the Germans curl their mustaches so
that they tickle their noses. The kaiser
schnurrmart or mustache has made the
fortune OF many a wax maker here and pat
ent mustache curriers' are advertised in
the papers. His majesty wakes his mus
taehe SO that it's ends turn out like a bow,
end every young German, official and COM
moner. does likewise. some men carry
combs in their pockets and you can see
them slyly arranging their mustaches in
the street cars, holding their hands over
their faces az they do so. Every one gives
his mustaches a twist at add moments, and
all. from the hotel waiter to the highest
military o%flcial. are proud IL they can
preserve the kaiserly curl.
The kaiser is a good business man. One
Of the chief manufacturers of Frankfort
Continued on Seventh Page.)
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-05

This man has written a book on our trade
supremacy and how the Germans should
come at IL. In this book he prophesies
that American capital will eventually alb
sorb the European state, municipal and
industrial securities. He shows that we
will buy ali the good stocks and become
Europe's great creditor. Then the best
of the European manufacturers and the
most skilled Of their workmen will emf
crate to America; there will be less and
less employment for labor, and the financial
and military strength of the European
nations will finally weaken"
"At the same time" the learned baron
professor continued, 1.-The United States
will gain in political might. They will en-
large their army and navy. They will ac-
qulre colonies. They will call the Pacific
ocean their own and realize their own ideas
Of international arbitration by being them
selves the arbitrators."
AS a preventive against such a possibility
the professor wants the European states to
join together in a tariff combination against
US, TO have free trade as far as possible
among themselves and to support each
other in any and every tarif war against
tho United States.
Theer is no doubt but that the kaiser is
studying the situation and the evidence Is
that he looks upon our success as a fore
gone conclusion. At any rate, he is doing
all he can to get into our commercial band
wagon. He is advising the manufacturers
to copy American methods and is sending
his ~oficials across the water to learn what
they are. Privy Counsellor Goldberger. who
recently visited the United States and upon
his return wrote a book treating of our in
d~ustries. was received with high favor at
court. The emperor decorated him and ad-
vised other officials to go forth and do like
wise. AS a result there is a deal Of quiet
investigation of the United States going on
at the present time. and the kaiser is coll
lecting news from all sources. Every lead
ing American capitalist who comes to Ber-
lin Is interviewed by the emperor or his

All Through Billiards.

This queer incident comes from
Paris. While playing at billiards one
evening recently in his house in Paris,
M. Reichart hit ball so hard that it
bounded from the table and out Of an
open window, falling through the
glass roof Of drawing room in the
next house and smashing a valuable
Sevres vase. The crash so alarmed
an Angora cat sleeping On the table
close by that the animal sprang up
and knocked over a lamp, which set
fire to some tapestry and necessitated
the calling out Of the brigade. M.
Reichart was engaged to the niece Of
the invalid lady occupying the house
in which the damage was caused. The
commotion, however, had so disas-
trous an effect on the old lady's nerves
that she died shortly afterwards. On
learning the indirect cause of her
aunt's death the young lady refused
to marry M. Reichart, and the heirs
are now suing him for the damage
done.
