1t is expected the Prince of Wales Will
pay a visit to Berlin next year shortly
after his eighteenth birthday, which is
in June, and that he Will stay for week
with the emperor and the empress. The
kaiser was extremely anxious to have the
prince visit him d short time ago, but
queen Mary then held her son was too
young and that it would be better to
wait another year or so.
While the prince is in the German cap
ital he will be admitted as knight OF
the Black Eagle. This order ranks third
i'll Importance among European decora-
tons, being only surpassed by the Ga
Ter and the Golden Fleece of Spain. The
last-named distinction. by the way. also
is likely to be bestowed upon the Prince
OF Wales by King Alfonso during the
course Of next year. The visit to Berlin

Kaiser Going to Essen.
The kaiser has announced his intention
of going to Essen May % of next year
to participate in the centenary celebra-
tion of the KrupD works. He has al
ways taken a deep interest in both the
business and private affairs of the Krupp
family. He recognizes the immense i'm
portance of the Essen works, which, TOR
the most part, supplies cannon and ar
NOR plate for the army and navy. The
emperor and his sons are frequent guests
at Villa Hugel, the picturesque country
! seat Of the kruppS, just outside the town
of Essen.
Herr Friedrich <rupp, father of the
present cannon qneen," Frau Bertha Won
nrupp BOhlen-Halbach, was personal
intimate of the empcror's. His majesty
went to Essen for Herr Krupp's funeral
IN 1903. but there is still myth in the
,own to the effect that the kaiser fol-
iowed an empty coffin to the grave, for
thousands Of good Essences have never
believed that Herr Friedrich krupp is
dead. They Will assure you. with
wealth of persuasive detail, that he is
mysterious fugitive living in lonely soil
tude on some remote island of the sea.
and that some day, in his own good
time, he Will turn up again.
To Transfer Portion of Navy.
The Keller Neueste Nachrichten, which
| Is usually well informed on naval mat
tiers, states that the imperial govern
| ment intends at the beginning of 1913 TO
transfer portion of the navy perma-
nentlv to Enden, and at Jarrett. near
E1mden, to establish barrack accommoda-
tons for 1900 men of various arms.
1t is known that Emden and Borkum,
the island lying in front of it, are not
yet linked up with the coast chain begun
two years ago, and that works have
been planned for deepening and dredg-
ing the fairway from k1mden to the
open sea- but / have reason to doubt
the statement in the kiel new spaper that
Elmden is to be transformed into naval
station.
Wilhelmshaven is quite close. and al
ready Emden and BOrkum are connected
with this harbor by means of the Ems
Jahde canal, which makes both places
suitable for torpedo expeditions; but II
