SECRETARY T4FTS PLANS.
Nay Meet Emperor William on the
Isle of Wight.

Berlin, Nov. S.-Emperor William will see Sec
retary Taft on the Isle Of Wight. message
conveying this wish was sent through the Ger
Embassy at Washington. it being under
stood that Mr. Taft has finally decided to return
to the United States by way of Europe. No
official arrangements. however. have been made
for the entertainment of Mr.. Taft there. The
Emperor merely expressed the pleasure it would
give him TO receive Mr.. Taft, and he probably
will invite him to luncheon dinner. 1t is re-
garded here likely that Mr.. Taft will also
seek audience of King Edward. as other
wise it might appear to be too much of a
demonstration for him to visit the German
Emperor on British sell without paying equal
respect to the King.
SO much has been said about Mr.. Taft plan
ming to see the Emperor that some of the other
governments have seemingly becope curious in
regard to whether anything is intended by the
step taken by the American government. Am
bassadors Bryce and Jusserand. it is said here,
have already made inquiries the subject at
the State Department in Washington. and it
is further reported that there is a feeling at
the Foreign Offices of London and Paris that
Mr.. Taft would be neglecting King Edward and
President Falieres If he did not ask to see
them on his way home or If he stopped only at
st. Petersburg and Berlin
Americans in Berlin hope that Mr.. Taft will
stop here long enough to accept courtesies
which are being prepared in his honor. Am
bassador Tower is arranging dinner at which
Chancellor Won Bulow, General Moltke
Chief OF the General STAFF. and Foreign Secre-
tary Won Schoen have promised to be present
Mr. Tower will also give Mr.. Taft an afternoon
reception. so that the members OF the American
colony may have opportunity to meet the
Secretary. The American Association of Com
merce desires to give a public dinner in honor
of Mr. Taft. and Isidor Lowe. head of the
Mauser rifle and several other great industries.
has planned TO give luncheon at which Mr..
Taft will meet twenty or thirty OF the promi-
nent business men Of Germany.

WONDERFUL USE OF RoENTGEN RAYS.

Dr. Leopold Jaches. OF the Cornell Medical Col
Iege, who has been abroad for three months study
ing the methods OF the OF the Roengen and other
rays arrived here yesterday tho Lusitania. Dr
JaChes said he had learned much from German
scientists and surgeons abroad but the work OF
Professor Albers-Steinberg, Of Hamburg. in OBJ
serving the size OF the heart through the use Of
the Roentgen ray was great revelation to medical
science The professor. he said. had perfected In
struments whereby the ray could be applied and
actual measurements taken OF the heart II was
useful in the treatment OF patients suffering
from heart trouble and should be adopted by tho
physicians of this country, he continued
Dr. Jaches explained that the results obtained BY
Professor Abers-Stenberg had be 81 accomplished
after much difficulty and danger TO those assisting
him in the manipulation OF the rays He said
those who worked much with the rays IN assisting
the professor bore many scars and burns caused
by handling the Roentgen apparatus. The dif-
hcuties, he said. had practically now been over

GERMANY's AFRICAN COLONY.
Herr Dernburg Not Enthusiastic Over the
Future of the Territory

Berlin. Nov. S-Herr Dernburg' the -Coionla4
cacratarv arrived here this morning after
.traa months trip in German East Africa Ac-
cordine to the reports of the correspondents
who accompanied him. Herr DernDurg has not
formed anv enthusiastic impression regarding
the possibilities of the colony. He thinks. how
ever that 1t can be gradually built up and De-
come a valuable possession of the empire
chiefly through the natives. The outlook for
German immigrants. especially individual farm
ers is favorable in only few favored regions
and there are no highly profitable openings for
German capital What is now necessary is to
push railways into the interior and give the
natives A market for their products, thus en-
abling them to become larger producers and
better customers.
The Colonial Secretary IS also convinced that
the natives need more humane treatment from
the German planters than the customary ap-
peals TO the rhinoceros hide whip. The planters
must adopt milder methods of controlling the
natives, who must also be protected from un-
lust treatment the part of the traders.
The outlook for cotton growing in German
East Africa was found not to be bright as
has been represented, but something be
done In the favored localities. Herr Dernburg's
opinions are expected to become subjects Of
lively debates in the Reichstag.

opened shortly after. daylight. Among
those present at the opening OF the
new service were representatives of q
score OF British and American news
papers.
II am entirely satisfied with the re-
suit" said Mr.. Marconi. "Everything
has worked splendidly; we are going to
operate a limited, service for a time,
but we have already handled from 5000
to 10000 words to-day, on account Of
1t being special day. and large
number OF congratulatory, and press
messages having been exchanged be-
tween London and New York. We did
not transmit commercial or private

lit a sort of press day. l9.

with the result"

fidence in the triumph achieved In
