principal vent OF the celebration OF the
anniversary of the battle OF Sedan, which
is one Of the most widely celebrated holi-
days in Germany.

address was the deep friendship existing
between Germany and the American peo-
pie.
In his acceptance Of the statue, EN-
peror William omitted all reference to
peace or international arbitration. He
merely expressed sincere gratitude to
President Taft and the United States for
the gift.

tion with Sculptor Jaeger, during which

which he nad made especially for the

ton, the Kaiser delivered a toast TO

tive BarthOldt In this talk he dwelt
on international arbitration, but Mr..

was John p. Hill, OF the National Guard
of Maryland.

about my figure, and the others said II

ever seen. Mr.. Johnston did not take
just the one draped picture mamma
found. He took seven or eight alto
gether. In three or four had nothing
on at all. The other men coaxed me
to pose and-and, we'll, nave a beautiful
figure; my picture has taken prizes"

great show of pride. One of the prizes

have been following the girl about the
country for months. A short time ago
they located her at Limington, Me. But
when they went there TO detain her she
had flown to other climes. She twice

managed to avoid detention. All this
time, it is said, the girl was forced to
lead a life that made her deeply re-

 pr. Wu Ting Fang has twice been Chinese minister to the United States, where he became widely known. He was first sent to Washington in 1897, re- IT aiming there till 1902, when he was re- called. He returned to the same port ln 1907 and was again recalled in 19o9 For time he appeared to have been relegated permanently in private life but in August, 1910, he was made coun- clor to the Chinese foreign office. His advanced ideas have not always harmonized with the, e,imperial policy. and il has been no secret that recently he has not wholly sympathized with the throne.
 He Is the most important figure that has appeared on the revolutionary stage dur ing the last few days.
 Rumors that he had espoused the rebel cause were received with increduity.
 When the revolutionists proclaimed a provisional government at Shanghai he was made head of the foreign bureau. Lut the appointment was not taken se- ri)usly and as late as yesterday he de- chned to acknowledge any participation p the revolutionary administration His attitude as formally announced today, Is expected to have far reaching in- fluence Af

 Cheng Te Chuan, he said, was strong man, and would be able to control the revolutionists and guarantee order and the safety of foreigners. Ninety-nine per cent of the population, he said. was sup porting the present status. pr. Wu con- tinued: a
