When Germany fairly slid into the

we served to consolidate and unity the

with the kaisers presentation to the
United States of the statue of Fred

Washington during Roosevelt's admin

In connection with the numerous en-
pressions of good will, and possible
fra nkness, during this occascion
never heard the allusion, which some
personages seemed to entertain, ana

Germany, that the power OF America
