Count Won Muenstcr has left the German Em-
Iassy in Paris TO pass some time at his country
seat Derneburg in Hanover. His excuse is that
be needs rest. Sgnor Rcssmann. Italian Ambas-
sador to France, started for Monza on Thursday.
French residents at Metz are DESERVING the city,
while many German and Italian tourists are car
red almost hourly by special trains to Stla>burg
and Metz where they Join in the celebration
of Frances defeats in 1870.
A new feature of this situation is the reversal
Of the policy of Emperor William !. He stroV"
10 spare the feelings of the French as much rs
possible while not giving mp shred OF the real
,asults of his Victories He kept within narrow
hpunds the celebration of Sedan Day. The pres
ent Emperor, however, maenihcs 1t Throughout
Germany and especially in the states oi the
Southwest The German victory at Sedan WIS
celebrated Oh saturday more intensely than even
before Taking their cue from headquarters.

eran societies all over SaNony held meetings and

Emperor realizes, they say, that the lnsol'nce o
France Is increasing with her growing strength
He knows that the French Government tried pres
sure npun Rome to prevent the Italian Crown
Prince from keeping his promise to attend the
msnoeuvrcs IN Alsaoe. Ii was successful to the
point OF melting the Italian Prime Minister to ask
Chancellor Won Caprivi's assent TO cancelling the
engagement This interference enough to
rouse Emperor William determination TO make
the Metz manoeuvres memorable in military his
tory. So the celebrations go on everywhere with
out regard for French sentiments. The Govern
ment newspaper organs say that recent occurrences
have been serious enough to Justify an unusual
show of feeling on Sedan Day
The Cologne Gazette" says: The anniversary
bf Sedan Day recalls 10 the German people memo
ries Of the great period when all branches OF the
nation asserted the unity of the fatherland on 'he
bloc ~ battlefield. This period is lesson to Ger
mans for all time, but especially is 1t warning
for the present
