Royal Review OF Germans ct Long Champs
The correspondent of the London Tinses
writing of the grand review by the En-
peror of the victorious Germans ct Long
Champs says:
You may try to imagine tho scene.
There was only one thing wanting-sun.
shine-to make German, at least, think
1t the most glorious sight In the world.
Memorable the day will be to alltime. To
q less interested spectator 1t was specta-
Gle Of grandeur and dignity, and the en-
thusiasm of those around one Ia always In
fictitious. Mems eyes filed and flashed
and their lips trembled as they spoke of
this Historical day"-this colossal work.,
but declare there was nothing like wild
delight or great outward exultation. One
inspection is very like another. It Is only
the circumstances under which 1t Is held
that makes the difference. When the
King, preceded and following by wave
of voices and the brazen clang of music,
turned round the left flank Of the line, the
cavalry trumpets sounded a flourish, and
then the distant voices of the famous
Uhlans reached Us.
The Emperor-King returned to the right
between the two lines, and galloped
down to the ground little to the
right of the grand stand for the march past,
which, in fact, began before he passed the
CaVaIy, lOI tuSIS was uO tlLuo 10 Uc iOSt,
and so the infantry closed up to the right,
and almost as soon as His Majesty was in
his place the march begun. 1t was head
ed by His Imperial Highness Field-Mar-
shall the Crown Prince of Prussia and
Prince Imperial of Germany, commander
of the Third Army, by which Paris was
invested, and to which 1t capitulated. He
was attended by Gen. Won Blumenthal,
Count Schleinitz, &C., and was preceded
by his escort under Lieut.. Won Blumenthal.
At 1l:20 he saluted and took up his post
on the left hand and little in rear of the
King.
THE TROOPS.
The force which was on the ground con-
sisted of 11,000 men of the Sixth Corps,
(von Tumpling,) II 600 men of the Elev-
enth Corps, won Schachtmeyer,) and 5000
Second Bavarians, (Hartmann.) They
were in the order in which they stood be-
fore Parasitic Sixth on the right, Bava-
rians in the centre, and the Eleventh on
the left.
The last man of the $4,000 had passed
and was moving across the raee-course,
which now bristled with bayonets, for the
streams were in full march for Paris.
IMPERIAL Joy.
The Emperor then turned round and
received the congratulatlons or his son ana
of the Princes. What day for him +!
News was coming in every moment how
the Parisians were getting quiet, and SEEM
ed to content themselves with shouts and
jeers, and all was going well. In 1914 the
King did duty in Paris with his battalion
Of the Guard as Major. He entered it
again in 1915. He has been twice the
guest of the man who is now his prisoner,
and he is now the conqueror of this boast
full and unhappy capital. The pride of the
Generals around me-natural pride-rose
as they saw their King looking after his
ing In the tree girt avenues; for there are
trees in the Boisde Boulogne YET, and there |
was great congratlation al round. It YVES
necessary for me to leave. The parade was
over. /
