that an Alsatian who escaped from SER

years ago and Joined the ranks of the
French, worked his way to captain

and was instrumental in saving the
lives of two German officers, to whom
he told his story, and expressed his
sorrow at never being able to return
home to see his aged parent The Of

DINNER AT WHITE HOUSE.
Magnificent Banquet Spread for Prince In
The East Room.

The crowning event of the days
ceremony was the dinner given by the
President of the United States to
Prince Henry. Detail was arranged to
add to the beauty and stateliness of
the event The entire lower floor of
the White House was profusely decor
ated, the greatest possible attention
being given to the blue room and east
room, the one in which the President
received the Prince, the other in which
the dinner was given, and around
which the whole entertainment of the
evening centered.
There have probably been more law
ish decorations in the east room, but
never more beautiful than those in
honor of this international dinner Just
before the guests, as they entered the
east room, hung, side by side, the
German and American flags, pinned to-
gether near the top by an Admirals
anchor. Over the tops of the flags
were festoons of smilax intertwined
with electric lights of red, white and
blue. These were the only two en-
blems of the countries now so closely
united and formed the back ground for
President Roosevelt and Prince Henry
as they occupied seats, side by side. at
the outer ellipse of the crescent-shaped
table
In the recess of the windows were
banks of palms and tropical plants,
while mound of palms and flowers
filled the space left by the crescent
shaped table and added to the view of
the vista of flowers over $50 feet in
length, down which the Prince looked
from his seat at the table beside the
President. This was a feature careful
ly thought out, and the unobstructed
view from the east room to the ex-
IRENE end of the Conservatives was
unusually fine.
Upon each napkin, bearing the coat
of-arms of the United States, were
sprays of valley lilies alternated with
pink roses. The red bordered china
bearing the coat-of-arms of the United
States in gold, especially designed and
ordered by Mrs. Cleveland was used
for serving the dinner
Upon the right of President Roose-
welt sat Prince Henry and upon his
left Lord Pauncefote, the British Am
bassador. Opposite these distinguished
men was Secretary of State Hay, upon
his right the German Ambassador. and

ron of mounted and bicycle police
acted as escort to the station and saw
him safely aboard the train, which left
at midnight for New York city.
President Roosevelt and party left
Washington shortly before midnight
for New York, where he witnessed the
launching of the yacht Meteor, built
for the emperor of Germany. Accom-
panying the President were Mrs. Roose-
welt, Miss Alice Roosevelt, who chris
tened the yacht; Secretary Root, Mrs.
Root, Miss hoot, Secretary Hitchcock,
Commander and Mrs. Cowles, Senators
Lodge and Spooner, Representative
Rlttauer. DIR. Plckerell, Assistant Sec
rotary Loeb, MI Colin Studs. and a
stenographer. The Presidents train
pulled out Of the station a few min
utes before the one occupied by Prince
Henry and his escort.

M3re than CGc unique feature
marked the occasion which opened this
| busy day. AS the kaiser's new flyer
was built beneath a low shed. it was
| not possible to deck her fully in the
usual holiday garb of brlght-hued
flags. BY an ingenious device her most
brilliant dress of bunting flew to the
breeze at the moment she cleared the
shed where she was born and plunged
her stern into the element in which
she is destined to win new laurels for
an emperor.
This novel effect was cortrived by
means of system of ropes and
weights, which threw into their prop
er places the temporary mastS, which
up to that time hau lain PROSTATE on
the deck. From the trucks of these
temporary spars were strung the hal
yards from which few the countless
flags of the international code, the
German standard on the main pole and
the Stars and Stripes at the bow and
stern.

and the prince and his suite reached

aft the bow. which. when released, cast

After entertaining President Roose-
welt and other distinguished guests at
luncheon on the Hohenzollern. Prince
Henry again embarked for the Bat
terry. There he was received by a mill
tary escort, and the procession moved
up Broadway to the city hall, where
the German guests were rendered the
freedom of the city by Mayor Low.
Prince Henry was next escorted to
the Metropolitan club, where he was
the guest at dinner rendered by May

| The President asked after the health
of Emperor William and the stormy
voyage of the prince from Germany to
these shores. When the royal visitor
and his suite left the White House
there was a smile of satisfaction on
the face Of the Prince and later in the
day he spoke several times to his
friends and attendants OF the pleasur-
able nature of his interview with the
young President.
