Berlin, Aug. 2S-The entry of King Victor
Emmanuel into the city to-day and his
drive through the Inter Den Linden was
advanced purposely half an hour from the
published time, as a precaution against pos
sble disorder.
Consequently the great crowds which were
packed into place earlier by the police
at the Brandenburg Gate were astonished
by the arrival at a brisk trot of a gorgeous
cavalcade surrounding a siX-horse carriage,
in which sat Emperor William and a small
man in a dark uniform pulling at "a blonde
mustache.
The carriage stopped and the crowds
ceased cheering in order to see what was
to happen.
The chief Burgomaster. Herr Kirschner,
advanced and read an address of welcome
from parchment scroll. Behind the
Burgomaster stood hareheaded a hundred
representatives of the city in evening dress.

the other side of the carriage, and gave the
Italian King a bunch of roses.
