KAISER
INVITES
OUR FLEET
Asks That Fighting Ships In
North American Waters Pay
a Visit TO KioI.

Washington, March 25.-Emperor VIII
liam of Germany has given further strik-
ing proof OF his desire to maintain friend
ly relations with the United States. In
personal cablegram to President Roose-
welt he has invited the battle feet OF the
United States in North American waters
to visit Kiel. Germany, during the re-
gatta week in May.
The emperors message will not be made
public until the president has sent his re-
ply, 1t ia believed, however, that the
invitation had its birth in the announce
ment, recently made by Secretary Moody,
that the battle fleet would go I'm May on
a cruise across the ocean, with Lisbon as
It's destination. Since the receipt OF the
emperor's invitation IL has been the sub
ject OF careful consideration by tho presi-
dent and his cabinet.
Before IT came TO hand however, there
is reason to believe that the navy depart
ment had practically decided To abandon
the cruise 10 Lisbon, because Of publica-
tions I'm regard TO the lessons which would
be learned from lt--and which, IL was ap-
pretended. might create an unpleasant
impression I'm Portugal.
That the invitation will be declined was
the general impression after the meeting
Of the cabinet yesterday, but the declina-
tion will be couched In terms which VIII
be in no wise offensive TO the German
emperor and the German people.
