OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The German merican veterans continue
their round of fetes, and there has only
been one incident since their arrival to
mar the perfect freedom of their visit from
unpleasant Incidents, and no blame attaches
to them for this.
The German organizing committee made
the mistake of trying to 1mplicate the Aneri-
can embassy through the veterans in an in
terofficial recognition of the Sedan day
celebration.
By request all the statements OF the Ber-
lin press that the United States embassy
took any part i'll the fetes or shared in any
way in the celebrations are denied On
Tuesday the veterans placed a wreath
upon the mausoeIum Of Kaiser Wilhelm at
Charlottenburg and then visited the grave
o! Emperor Frederick at the Freidriche
Kirche, Potsdam. The group of veterans
viii divide into two parties after going to
Kyffhauser.
