day. The most brilliant event in the
celebration were the maneuvers OF the
Eighth army corps near Treves. They
were witnessed by the emperor and en-
press and by the crown prince OF Italy.
Commenting on the Sedan celebration,
the Berlin Post takes pessimistic view
of matters. 1t thinks Germany's sitna-
tion is a serious one, and says all efforta
to effect friendly relations with France
have failed. Frances success in Asia,
the consciousness that it has reached
the limit of perfection and strength in
its army, and, last but not least. the
hope of Russia's military cooperation,
have acted as a stimulant to the French
temper.
POPULAR DEMONSTRATIONS,
Emperor William left Coblenz for
Treves this morning, accompanied by
his suite and the prince Of Naples. The

through the streets and receiving an
almost continuous ovation, the emperor
proceeded to Euren, where he reviewed
the fifth army corps. This afternoon he
returned to Ooblenz and a grand ban
quet was held at the castle. Tomorrow

preparations are completed to make his
