The vet erans of the regiment took part in the celebration. Wreaths were placed on the graves of those members of the regiment who had been killed in battle, after which the regiment paraded. Later there were fetes at the Stadt Park Casino, wehre banquet was given in the evening During the even ing Colonel Humann announced that Emperor William had appointed Colonel Stumpf in memory of the battle spich- eron. The announcement was greeted with enthusiastic cheers.

The veterans who had served with the regiment in the wars of 1884, 1866 and 1870 arrived in the town on special trains, accompanied by bands and banners. and joined the regiment in cele- brating it's victories. They were received ct the station by the entire corps of off, cers, who welcomed them most heartily.
 At Rudesheim, the site of the Neider- wald monument, where the celebrations have been of daily occurrence, Secretary

After landing they formed in line and marched up to the monument on which they de- posted a wreath The colonel of the reg tment delivered a patriotic speech, wind Ing up by calling for cheers for the empe- TOT and the empire, which were given with deafening enthusiasm.

 None of Emperor Williams doingS in England has attracted greater inter est than his speech on the anniversary Of the battle of Woerth the first decisive encounter that took place between the German and French armies, or August b, 1S10 The speech was regarded by Ger mans as happy thought we'll carried out, and consequently the irritation of the German press on reading the adverse criticism of the London Daily News on the speech was proportionate to the pre- vious enthusiasm
 The Daily News described the speech as spontaneous indiscretion that was not calculated to allay the suspicious of England and Germany's French neigh bors Emperors. the paper added. ought to be strong enough to resist the tempta- ton to make speeches. This, coming on top of an offensive article issued by the London Standard, filled the cup of indig- nation to oyerfowing
 The idea that the fetes in celebration of the German victories are intended to reopen the French wounds is repudiated
 The main object of the demonstrations is to celebrate the founding of the unity of the empire and not to remind France that she is a conquered nation. Ger mans hold that without taking the feel ings of any nation into considerat ton, they have right to celebrate events that placed Germany in the fore front of the nations of the world, and it is held in many quarters that the British adverse criticism has it's basis in jealousy
 In connection with the fetes the Lokal Anzeiger has compiled a list of members of the reichstag who served in the army during the Franco-Prussian war. The list shows that one-seventh of the mem bers thus served in the campaign. Com parison with the number of French sen tors and members of the chamber of deputies, who served in the French ranks and as officers, show that numerically the present German lawmakers who were in the war were smaller in propor- tion than the French. the latter number i. ing about a fifth of the whole member ship of parliament
 The ceremonies that will attend the didieation of the Emperor William I memorial on August IS are anticipated with interest. It will be a brilliant func- ton. though the interest is somewhat Iessened by the inability of Prince Bis marck to be present. This ceremony will be followed about fortnight later by the conservation of Emperor William Memorial church, near the geological trar rlp on ahar i N1n and the imperial princes will attend the consecrat ton. On the same day there will be parade of the German-American veterans, who will be reviewed by the emperor, and the great military musical tattoo will be given in front of the royal castle on the evening of Sedan day, Sep- tember 1.
 Dr. Arendt, one of the leaders of the German Bimetallic league, has issued a new pamphlet in which he wantonly at taclzs Herr Koch, director of the reich bank. The pamphlet is similar to the one previously issued by Dr. Arendt. It accuses Herr Koch of ignorance and inn plies that he is unfit for the post he holds. In an interview with the representative of the United Press in regard to the matter Herr Koch said that he ignored the attack, it being beneath his dignity $sy 2gss d Irr I Ens Ee neryw % ydyses eesnSd Se the m formation that the holding of an inter- national currency conference at Ger many's invitation was further off than ever He added that one important Ger man state had declared for bimetallism while it was well known that some Of them were absolutely opposed to it. Herr Koch confessed that he was astonished that such numbers of the working pop ulation of the United States were sup porting the silver movement.
