not set up In McKinley's administra-
tton, but Roosevelt accepted 1t in the
interest of diplomacy and had 1t
erected in front of the War College.
Seeing that his gift had had just
the opposite effect to that intended.
the kaiser reprimanded his ambassa-
dor for not having interpreted Amer
lean sentiment more accurately.
A few days after the death of King
Edward Roosevelt arrived in Berlin.
Despite the fact that all Europe was
in mourning. the kaiser arranged the
most elaborate military dress review
ever given in honor of a private citi-
zen to celebrate Roosevelt's visit The
review was held in the large military
reservation near Berlin. More than
100000 soldiers passed in review be-
fore the kaiser and his staff and their
honored guest.
How far the kaiser would have gone
in his attentions to Roosevelt had he
not been in mourning it is impossible
to say, but I don't believe he would
have left ANYTHING undone to show his
admiration for the American ex-Presi-
dent and to curry favor with this
country.
Sought American Mi1lionaires.
But Roosevelt was not the only
American to whom the kaiser made
overtures. He was constantly inviting
American millionaires to pay him
yachting visits at Kiel or wherever
else he happened to be.
He sat for a portrait by an American
painter, which was exhibited with a
large collection of other American
works under the kaisers auspices.
There was nothing that tho kaiser
did not do in his efforts to ingratiate
himself with this country in the hope
that he would reap his reward when
the great war he was ANTICIPATING
eventually broke out
Taken individually. these various in
cfdents seem trivial enough, but have
every reason to know that the kaiser
attached considerable Importance to
them. / know that there was a good
deal of chagrin in the TRADES he de-
livered to me against America for her
part in supplying munitions to the
a1hes-chagrin at the thought that the
seed he had sown in America had
failed to bring forth better fruit
When we finally entered the war and

naught, he could not restrain his BIT

Bored by Muensterberg.

The report that although the kaiser
attended Muensterberg's lecture, he
paid very little attention to the lee
turer, brought a spirited rejoinder
from the professor in question. He
declared that it was quite untrue that
the kaiser had sighted him in any
way. On the contrary, he insisted.
tht kaiser had been most interested
listener and had been seen, indeed,
to nod his head several times in the
course of the lecture-which led an
American foreign correspondent to
comment that, mot only was the
kaiser seen to nod at Muensterberg's
lcture: he was likewise observed to
yawn"

ceived the scheme of the exchange

instill in the heart of every child born
in America of German parents an
abiding love for the fatherland.
Just before the war broke out. he
was planning to send one of his sons
here with the same object.
He told mt of his project and asked
me to which part of the United States
I thought he ought to send the prince.
That depends. your majesty" I
replied. upon the object of. the visit
II the purpose is to meet American
places as Newport in summer and
Palm Beach in winter. To come in
contact with our statesmen and dip
lomats, Washington would naturally
be the most likely place to visit.
The kaiser thanked me for the in
formation but did not enter into fur
ther details as to the object he had in
mind or which son he had planned to
send across.
It was to curry favor with America
that the kaiser had his yacht
Meteor built in our shipyards, and
it is a fact that more American wo-
men were presented at the German
court than those Of any other nation.

EXPLAINS BONDS
AND WAR-STAMPS

Winston-Salem, March 26.-To
show the exact difference between
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps, also the similarities, ad-
vantages and purposes Of each,
Mr.. Gilbert I. Stephenson, direc-
tor Of service for State Headquar-
ters for War Savings, has prepar-
ed a short and concise article in
which he explicitly sets forth the
characteristics and merits Of each
Their main differences lie, he
says, in that the unit Of the bond
is $50. while the unit Of the GER
tificate is 81 plus a few cents;
that the bond natures in an indie
finite number Of years while the
stamp natures January l, 1928 !;
that the bond is not redeemable
before maturity, except at option
Of the Government, while the
stamp certificate is redeemable
at any time, upon ten days notice
that the bond is negotiable while
the certificate is not.
AS to the advantage Of the two
he says bonds enable one to make
large investments in Govern
ment securities while the certi-
fcates give this privilege to the
small investor; the bonds enable
longtime investments while the
stamps provide. for one to get his
money back at once if necessary
The bond provides the best cola
teral security obtainable. The
stamp enables one to make small
investments at cOnvient inter
walls.
The purpose Of the Govern
ment in issuing the bonds was to
secure large amounts Of money
Immediately for war purposes and
to allow ITSELF plenty of time tt
