LONDON, Sept. "A dispatch from Ber-
lin, which the Times will publish to-mor-
row, says: BY far the most interesting
feature Of the parade was the return Of the
Emperor from the Templehof field with the
colors. The entire route to the palace
lined with people, and every window was
occupied, and acquisitions were even made
on the roofs of the houses. There was a

peror the Globe further says, has allowed

to use language which is at least capable
of being misunderstood. While the Globe

ly not such as to further peace.
