could do little more than bow and exchange
greetings, but Emperor William is true
politician. He graspS the hand and chats

binary friend one would meet upon the
street. His manner Is charming and he I'M
pressed all of the American representatives
by his cordial way of receiving us. He Is
the best American l saw when abroad"
