TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF THZ TROOPS INTO

BERLIN.
This grand military pageant took piece on Friday.
The weather was everything that could be desired. and
when it is considered that the 45.000 men assembled in
the Templebof-Feld representing the very flower and
front of the German army. it may be understood how
brilliant was the spectacle. First on the parade ground
stood the let infantry division of the Guards, with its
contingent of Cavalry and Artillery—pickel men all of
them; and then came battalions of Infantry, squadroas
of Cavalry, and batteries of Artillery chosen from all
manner of nationalities, so as to represent the who!e
German Army. The Cavalry Division of the Prussian

foot of the statue of William IIL, which was then un-

of Guards are lowered towards the statue, the troops
present arms, and burst into volleys of cheering. The
air is full of din, for a salute of 101 cannon as living

Out of the turmoil the National Air resolves itself with
difficulty. And now "Nun dauket elle Gott" is being
played from the Museum, the troops joining in tho gr .nd
