Berlin.--Recently the anniversary OF
Gravelotte, one of the fiercest and
most bloody battles Of the Franco Ger.
man war, was officially celebrated on
the battlefield. The ceremonies were
very impressive and included a church
parade at Metz and the unveiling Of
monument In memory of the soldiers
of the Eighth German Grenadicr
Guards, erected on the road between
Gore and Rezonvllle, at a point ten
miles southwest Of Metz and FIVE miles
south OF Gravelotte. The occasion was
memorable one and one full Of In
terest to many German-Americans
who passed through the direful expert
ence Of the battle.
Gravelotte Is a small town situated
IN Lorraine, eight miles west OF Metz.
During the war Napoleon iii. made his
headquarters at Metz. The Germans
under Prince Frederick Charles and
General Steinmetz by succession Of
victories had forced the French forces
In the direction of Metz as far as
Gravelotte. Here. eight miles from
the position of Napoleon, the French
made their final stand. The Germans
with force numbering 211,000 ad-
vanced against the French under Ba-
zaine, whose army did not exceed 140,-
900. The French. knowing the fatal
results Of defeat, fought courageously
and stubbornly. The Germans, realiz-
ing the victory would ultimately re-
suit in the surrender Of Napoleon and
his forces at Metz. fought with a steady
| determination that knows no failure.
| The result was fierce and bloody bat
tie in which the Germans, completely
victorious, lost 904 officers and 1868
men; the French. decisively routed.

that the Rev. MIR. Goodwin was to

walked the twenty miles.

so pleased at the appreciation which

WHY NEW ORLEANS

It's Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II az
Most Suitable Spot for DedI-
cation OF Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
Noaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
Ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums OF
money as an evidence OF their ability
to finance so great an enterprise
An Exposition worthy Of the term
"World's Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucAtional movement. Its success as
such. however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our poprla-
tion who can secure It's educational
advantages, this In turn, depends up
on It's location, as the time in travel.
ing to and from the Exposition. and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi.
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center Of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius OF 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17.5o0.o0
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000
Within a radius Of 1000 miles from
New Orleans. there are G5,000,000
within the same radius from Sar
Francisco there are only G.000.o0o.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 20 OF oul
principal cities with combined
population OF 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities. with a com
bined population Of Just 100000
The average distance Of all thes,
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2.407 miles.
Over 75 per cent. Of the people o
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare OF $3.50. Al
against an average OF $3.50 to tn,

lions OF our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
for a trip to San Francisco, woul,
