any of the other theaters are aware that

every body will be out to see the llluml-
nations and nobody will seek for spe-

place of amusement will be generously
patronized.
A remarkably fine rhetorical poem by
Ernst Wilcenbru has been published
here accom- panied by an enthusiastic and
critical approval on the part OF Herr
/eller, the Burgomaster. The poem has
taken the fancy of Berliners and undoubt-
edly will be recited everywhere. The
poem goes on TO worthily celebrate great
events, from which triumphantly issued
the unity OF the German States. The poet
mas struck full-toned Tyre, which is re-
sounding throughout Germany.
Among the leading military functions
iu direct connection with the celebration
will be dinner given at the Relchof
Hotel by the surviving officers who were
members Of the Generals staff in 1870.
The King of Wurtemburg, the Grand
Duke of Mecklenberg- -Schwerin, Prince
Hohenzollern and Marshal Blumenthal
will be present. and it is expected that
the Emperor and eX-Chancellor Caprivi
will also be there.
Count Caprivi has been in Berlin for
several days. He has remained at his
hotel and taken his dinners usually at q
small restaurant in Potsdamer Strasser.

Auer and Singer, despite the earnest pro-
test OF many of their adherents, persist
in holding counter meetings, which have
been arranged for Sedan Day. 1t IS
probable that these meetings, If held, Will
result in disorder. Il Is proposed that
the socialists sHalI assemble at the tomb
OF the crank, Agnes Wabnltz, who died
iii prison because of hor refusal to take
food, and is now regarded by them aS
socialist martyr. Later il ID proposed to
hold series OF meetings lor The purpose

Socialists are now endeavo oring to infiict

now exists is insufficient and more strin

TO insults 10 the dead man may suffice to
give tn5 insulters OF the memory OF

The Military Correspondence recalls the
