BERLIN, Aug. 25.-Old imperialist
Germany, the Germany of the Hohen-
zollerns, lived again for several hours
Wednesday in a huge nationalist and
monarchst demonstration, led by
Prince Eitel Friedrich and General Luz
dendorff, at Grunewald, a racetrack
near Berlin.
Thirty thousand persons participated
in the demonstration, including 5000
boy and girl scouts. Represented in
the demonstration, which was held un-
der the auspices of the Front War
riors Association, composed exclusively
Of veteran shock troops, were a thou
sand officers and students from Berlin
and other universities, who marched to
the classic stadium grounds to strains
of martial music, with continued un-
broken cheers from men and women as
sembled on the grounds
Not since the armstice has Germany
witnessed such an enthusiastic out
burst Of the old military spirit Hun
dreds Of banners OF veteran regiments
which won distinction in the war float
ed over the stadium, while flower girls
strewed roses and carnations before
the soldiers and officers, who, bearing
numerous decorations, went goose
stepping in old style before the admir-
ing crowds.
Monarchists Cheered Wildly
The appearance Of Prince Eitcl Fried
rich and General Ludendortf on the
parade grounds was the signal for a
thunderous outburst of cheers and ap-
plause, which lasted fully fifteen min
utes. 1t was renewed upon the appear
ance of the veteran guard of Deaths
Head Hussars. Steel helmeted and
monocled officers rushed back and forth
across the stadium grounds, stirring
the admiration Of the women, who
waved handkerchicfs as they watched
them. This, however, did not prevent
one officer covered with decorations
from hurting an insult at the feminine
part Of the audience. This officer, who
was the superintendent Of arrange
ments, shouted through a megaphone
so that every one could hear:
"What are these females doing in
boxes where warriors ought to be
The insult, however, failed to dis
courage the audience, for a moment
afterward cheers broke out anew. The
real spirit of the demonstration was
u
parade, when General Count Won der
Goltz, Of Baltic fame, addressed the
crowds, in q speech full of the spirit
of old Prussanism. Thanked by Ludcn-
dorff on one side and Admiral Won
Schroeder on the other, Won der Goltz
spoke for fully thirty minutes. He de-
nounced the present German govern
mcnt and the spirit and ideals of the
new Germany Among those who ap-

sian Cosack uniform, sat on the speak
ing platform, nursing his waxed mus
tache and casting admiring glanccs at
LudcndortF, whose fat countenance con-
tinually nodded approval Of Won der
Goltz's remarks.
Won der Goltz elaborated or the so-
gan which decorated the bunting flying
across the stadium, "Undefeated in the
Field lie attributed Germany's de-
feat to traitors within" meaning the
Socialists and Democrats. The crowds
showed their approval by crying
Down with Wirth! Down with
Rathenau,"
The demonstration was The culmina-
ton Of long series of monarchist
efforts throughout Germany in which
LudcndorH has participated. Although
it was impressive and colorful, it was
not as great as the recent anti-war
demonstration held by the Socialists
and anti militarists in front OF the
Kaiser's former palace. However, il
PROFESSIONALLY served to emphasize the
fact that the monarchists and reaction
aries are getting ready to "pull of
something spectacular" provided the
Socialists and laboritcs Of the republic
let them alone.
The demonstration lasted until latc
in the evening, and was dispersed
under Humorous "hochs" for Luden-
dorN and the old Germany army
