KAISER FEARS YELLOW PERIL
German Emperor Talks With Ameri

Ne'Han emperor aIkS With Aneri-
cans on This Subject.
New York, Sept. Congressman
McNary of Massachusetts, who was a
member of the American party receiv-
ed by Emperor William, is quoted in a
Times dispatch from Berlin as fol
lows:
In our conversation the emperor
dwelt on the yellow peril and ex,
pressed the opinion that the Japanese
would follow up their military sue
cesses by closing the open door and
by their command of cheap labor
force Europe and America out of the
Oriental market"
He went on to say that it wa nee
essary for the different nations to
stem the yellow peril by uniting. The
only power that Japan feared was
America, and it was a good thing for
the world that the United States was
on the side of the Japanese empire.
The emperor asked us what we
thought of German railways. We said
frankly that we believed the Ameri-
can lines were better. The kaiser
assented, but said he thought Ger
man cities were better paved than
those of America.
