King Edward has opened his reign by empha sizing in the strongest way his per sonal friendship for the German em peror and this was perhaps neces sary, because there was a different feel ing not long ago, when William II. was not persona grata in royal circles here. The queen's death has indeed brought England and Germany into the closest Since the days when the royal sur veyors laid cut the Totten and Cross flt'ld purchase, there have been doubts as to Just what land was Included with in the grant.
