THE KAISER’S FAREWELL.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT.)
Received this day at 8 40 a. m. London, February 6.
The Kaiser in almost his last words at Charing Cross remarked “I have had a splendid reception to-day, I believe the people meant it” He expressed wonder and admiration, on the superb discipline and self restraint of the crowds on Saturday, the depth of the National Loyalty and affection shown to the late Queen and throne. He assured the Lord Mayor ho had seen nothing like it before. After bidding farewell to the Kaiser the King left the saloon carriage but as the train began to move the Emperor held out his hand and the King walking beside the carriage grasped it affectionately, a pleasant smile Was exchanged and hand clasp were surrendered as the pace of the train quickened. Both stood at the salute.
The Times describes the hand shako as the eloquent spirit distinguishing the entire visit.
