If an American were asked to name
the six leading city thoroughfares in
the world, he would begin with Fifth

a Partisan the Champs Elysees, an
italian the Corso of Rome, and a Ger
man Inter den Linden, the greatest

longer than those of other great Euro
pean centers."
Probably the proudest moment for
Berlin in all her history was when
the victorious German army of 1871,
home from Paris, marched down the
Inter den Linden. An eyewitness
has described the scene as follows:
Linden's Greatest Sight.
THE Linden was in holiday dress,
and " was "a triumphal street
more lovely. Huge stands were erect
ed upon all the squares, all the houses
had gala decorations of flowers, ban
ners, pennants and flags, and across
the whole breadth of the Linden great
awnings were stretched, which our
leading artists had adorned with paint
ings.
yet the most beautiful ornament,
an ornament unique, never seen before
that day, and perhaps never to be re-
peated in the history of the world, was
the trophies; the piles Of cannon
steeple high; the fourfold lane of
cannon reaching from the Koniggrat-
ger Strasse to the Castle, so close to-
gether, wheel on wheel, that the axles
touched, thousands and thousands of
cannon and mitrailleuses, all ;of
them captured from the enemy! And
then the men, the hundreds of thou
sands flowing through the streets in
dark waves touched with white, all
sweeping toward the Linden! The
masses of humanity crowded together
into an impenetrable wall; many a
venturesome fellow upon a tree; every
window occupied with three or four
tiers of heads; every balcony full as
it would bear; thousands in the new
buildings, in break-neck positions;
thousands upon the roof-tops clinging
to the chimneys! And at the first
trumpet peal from the oncoming vic
tors from every mouth a cry and a
hurrah, a jubilation, a waving and
b%eckouing, an enthusiasm so genuine,
SO fiery, So universal, so affecting, as
can scarcely be equaled in all the an
nails of history! And here they come,
in the %clearest, brightest sunshine
Bismarck, Room and Moltke in front,
then the emperor and all the princes
and generals who had glorious part
in the Incompatible campaign. That
was a day. Whoever saw it will nev-
er forget it"

Famous Old Gate.
At the west end of the Linden,
where it enters the Tiergarten, or
park, is the famous Brandenburg gate,
erected more than a century ago on
a Greek model. 1t is 205 feet wide
and IS feet high. The Victory sur
mounting 1t was carried off to Paris
by Napoleon in 1906, but the Prus-
SLAMS seized their own in 1914. and
took the famous trophy back to Berlin.
Formerly it had stood facing the park
-or the west, and therefore toward
France; they now mounted 1t with its
back turned on Paris, facing the Lin
den and the palaces of the Hohenzol-
lerns at the farther end. ~
The palaces are a part of Berlin's
