It's edge. and Is a show piece at the capital
of the empire state.
1t had its particular uses yesterday. Here
was q prince Of Prussia In town, on an
errand Of good will and representing tho
great German nation. For ten days he had
been listening and replying to addresses
celebrating the friendship existing between
Germany and America, and here was an
opportunity-the opportunity-to remind him
that the friendship was as old as the
American government itself. German
genius had recognized American genius over
a hundred years ago.
The sword was brought out and its his
tory recited. Prince Henry examined 1t
with straight face and with evident in
terest. He must have known Of the doubt
attaching to it, for the newspapers have
been carrying both sides of the controversy
ever since he landed. But nl5 manner and
his observations were perfect. He threw
his weight, indeed, into the scale on the
swords side; and henceforth the skeptics
will have to contend with the fact that in
the presence of the sword q prince of Prus-
sia stood all attention and profoundly
moved.
1t may well be questioned II 1t might
not have been well to overlook the sword
on this occasion. The great Fritz and
Washington had nothing in common but
their stature and imposing presence and
their courage. Personally they would have
had dull time together. Their tastes were
wholly unlike, as were their aspirations.
The one man attracted VOltaire, the other
Lafayette-two Frenchmen as wide apart as
the poles. Washington maneuvered a small
army over a large empire; Frederick large
army over a small empire. The sword can
be Cancelled without detracting either from
Frederick's or from Washington's fame, or
from the very great value of Prince Henry 8

Across the fields the breeze will stray
And lambkins in their harmless play

With perfumes delicately rare?
For breezes. too. what do carer

None feels a reverence deeper
For you. With Joy I'll greet the day

of Hotel del Monte; of the Lick
