Another American traveller reports the
Kaiser as eager TO visit this country
Well, we are all eager 20 have him do
il. We have been wanting to see the
HOhenZOllern for years. American ad-
miration for the German Emperor is a
unique problem bTistlinR with paro-
doXes. If they were a mOnarchicai peO-
pie they would not entertain il in so
high a degree. II he himself were presi-
dent of a republic he would not be half
so interesting TO them. The phenome-
non is the sentiment of an acutely self
respectful democratic nation toward a
sovereign who acts like a king and who
looks the part Americans admire the
