Great crowds looked coldly on while
thousands of soldiers who fought dur
ing the great war marched before
General Ludendorff. Prince Eitel
Friedrich, Count Won waldcrsee and
General Won Der Goltz at the old
Berlin stadium yesterday. The lack
SA enthusiasm among the spectators
was notable. only a few persons un'
coving when Die wacht am Rhein'
was played by a veteran band.
County Won waidersee was the prin
cipal speaker at the demonstration,
which was characterized by radicals
as the "monnrchist attempt to revive
the dying war spirit" His address
was fiery in character. h old mill
tary chieftain declaring:
'.There will come again a day when
we will stand together for the kaiser
and the fatherland. Hatred will stand
guard in Germany. We must train
our Children to use the rifle and
sword. so long as Germans suffer
under a foreign yoke, n the French
stand guard on HI Rhine. we must
prepare for revenge"

only enthusiasm shown during the
day was brought forth by the appear

sttired in long tailed coats. civilian
trousers and silk hat instead of uni
forms. The young sons and daugh-
