"In the strengthening of the traditional friendly relations between two great, pow erful and progressive nations In tbe re newal of the old confidence we couple in our thought with gratitude th thousands of American men and women who every where gave Prlne Henry a Joyful welcome, coming from alncere hearta.

Beside th semi-official declaration In th North German QasettaMMJa lubl edly originate in the Foreign offloe, other newspaper refer to th departure of Prince Henry and express their satisfaction with the honors bestowed on him. As Prlnoe Henry bears homeward the recollections of a splendid hospitality," saya the Vosslachs Zeitung, "he has received never-to-be-forgotten impressions of the evolution of a great nation which owes everything it is and can do to ita own power and liberty. "It la easily comprehensible that all classes tried to briag before the eye of the brother and representative of the emperor the eplendor, wealth, civilisation and well being of the American people. Neverthe less, pride and self-respect were not the only motive for th sumptuous festivities; Th other motives were a friendly feeling for the German nation, tbe recognition of the fact that tbe Germans took an active part la the development of the United States, respect for German Intellectual life, and last, but not leaat, was the winning and unassuming personality of tbe prlnoe, which Imparted an especially agreeable tne to th festival days. "Th fact must be recognised that Prince Henry did hi part well and avoided every thing that would caua a discordant note and this without going too far. A calm observer does not Indulge In high flown hope regarding th political result, but on -'thing haa been accomplished, the Americana believe In the sincerity of Prince Henry' declaration of friendship at Phila delphia. "The wish of Prince Henry for Ameri can friendship I the wish of the German people and we hope the future will show that It 1 also th wlah of th American." The Berliner Neuste Nachtrlchten ssys: "After a fortnight' stay, rich In hard work, but filled with magnificent impres sions. Prince Henry today leave th ho pltable shore of th United States. "Nobody In Germany could have expected that the . spontaneous manifestations, ot friendship at 'every place where the prince stopped would have reached euch a degree of warmth, nay, enthusiasm.
