Washington, Nov. 19.—Hailed by a
hillltary blare of twenty trumpets,
Whose prolonged note of welcome rang
out sharp on the crisp November air
ond was echoed far down the Potomac,
the bronze statue of Frederick the

r In the day Washing too was
alive with marching troops and before
rioon mounted policemen gathered
along the line of march. By 1 o'clock
Pennsylvania avenue contained a
steady stream of carriages filled with
diplomats and army and navy officers,
whose brilliant uniforms excited gen
eral attention and were the signal for
the gathering of the crowds along the
approaches to the W'ar College.
The President’s flag was taken from
the White House in the forenoon and
placed in the custody of the command
er of the Washington barracks ready
to be Taised the moment the Presi
dent’s carriage was announced at the
outer gates of the post. The diplo
mats, with the exception of the Ger
man ambassador and his staff, drove
informally to the esplanade to await
the arrival of the official party, which
came In three groups. They arrived in
inverse order of rank, the military
group first, then the diplomatic group,
and, lastly, the presidential group, each
under escort of a troop of cavalry.
Promptly at 1 o’clock Troop B, Sev
enth Cavalry, reported to Oapt. Grote
Hutcheson, general staff, for duty as
•escort to Lieut. Gen. Von Loewenfeld,
adjutant general to the German Em
peror. From the lieutenant general’s
apartments the cavalcade moved at a
rapid trot. The order of carriages was:
First, Lieut. Gen. Von Loewenfeld and’
Lieut. Gen. Chaffee with aides, Capt.
Dickman and Oapt. Hutcheson; second,
Maj. Count Von Schmettow and MaJ.
Duvall; third, Brig, Gen. Grant and
Capt. Gallagher; fourth, Maj. Von Et
zel, military attache of the German
embassy, and Maj. Goethals; fifth,
Mrs. Chaffee, Miss Chaffee and Mrs.
Hutcheson; sixth, Mrs. Gillespie and
Mrs. Grant, and seventh. Mrs. Brom
well and Mrs. Winslow.
The Ambassadorial Parly.
Ten minutes later, escorted by Troop
D, Seventh Cavalry, the ambassadorial
party left the German embassy for
the barracks. The personnel of this
party and the order of their carriages
was: First, the ambassador and Maj.
Gen. Gillespie with their aides, Lieut.
■Martin and Capt. Alvord; second, the
Baroness Speck von Sternburg, moth
er, Mrs. Langham and her sister, Miss
Langham escorted by Col. Allen; third,
the Baron von dam Bussche-Hadden
hausen and Mr. Soholler-Steinwartz
and their aide. Col. Sharpe; fourth.
Commander and Mrs. Hebblngaus and
Lieut. Col. Kerr; fifth, Mr. von Verdy
du Vemois and Mr. Diedrlch, with
Capt. Nolan.
To Troop A. Seventh Cavalry, fell
the honor of escorting the presidential
party, which moved at a rapid trot
down Pennsylvania avenue and along
the route, followed by the preceding
cavalcades. The presidential party
left the White House In carriages at
2 o’clock in the following order: The
President, the Secretary to the Presi
dent, and the President’s aides. Col.
Hrnrmvell and Commander Winslow;
■Mrs. Roosevelt and Maj. McCawley,
the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Attorney General,
the Postmaster General, the Secretary
of the Navy, the Secretary of the In
terior, the Secretary of Agriculture,
the Secretary of Commerce and tatbor,
the Acting Secretary of War and his
aide. Brig. Gen. Story; and Mrs. Oli
ver and the Misses Oliver, escorted by
Caot. Mich la.
As each party started, the escorting
tioop formed line and rendered the ap
propriate honors.
Formed in line# to the west of the
old main road through the Washing
ton barracks, were ail of the foot
troops participating In the ceremonies.
Two batteries of field artillery were
stationed In the south baltsrv of the
post and, upon the arrival at the gates
of the several groups, fired the pre
scribed aahpe, Lieut. (Jen. von Loe

each group passed in front of the line
of foot troops the prescribed honors
were rendered. As soon as the pres
idential group passed down the line
the troops moved promptly into a po
sition facing south and directly in
front of the President’s stand, forming
the fourth side of the square enclos
ing the statue.
The President’s Salute.
The firing of the President’s salute
of twenty-one guns had barely finished
when his carriage reached the west
stairway of the War College terrace.
The entire assemblage arose as he as
cended the grand esplanade and re
mained standing until the master of
ceremonies, Maj. Gen. Gillespie, had es
corted him to ht3 seat in the front
row of the President’s stand and di
rectly to the right of the statue. The
President’s flag had been hoisted over
the stand as soon as the first gun of
his salute had boomed forth. It was
lowered as the President left and was
returned to the White House In the
custody of his escorting troop of cav
alry.
The official programme began with
the invocation by the Rt. Rev. Dr.
Satterlee, the Bishop of Washington.
Gen. Gillespie’s Address.
Maj. Gen. Gillespie then addressed
the ambassador In these words:
“Mr. Ambassador: It is a pleasing
office, as well as a most high honor,
to preside at the ceremony of the un
veiling of the statue of Frederick the
Great, presented to the people of the
United States of America by his maj
esty, William 11, the German Emperor.
“The master mind which conceived
and executed the brilliant movements
culminating In the decisive victory at
Leuthen, four allied Powers opposing,
will challenge in the future, as it has
challenged In the past, the admiration
of the thoughtful military student.
“Frederick the Great exemplified In
his character the highest attributes of
the soldier, and the system of organi
zation, training and maneuver of
troops instituted and practiced by him
has had Its happy fruition In the splen
did imperial Germany army of to-day.
“It is, therefore, most -appropriate
that the statue of this Illustrious sol
dier, distinguished alike as strategist
and tactician, should stand in front
of the American War College, which
the Congress of the United States has
wisely provided should be erected upon
this spot for the promotion of highet
education In military science and tac
tics.
“We feel in our hearts, Mr. Ambas
sador, that the International act we
are now to perform In the dedication of
the statue of Frederick the Qreat, In
which the ambassadress. Baroness Von
Sternburg, has so kindly and so gra
ciously consented to share, can hve
but the one desired effect of drawing
more closely the bonds of friendship
and good will which now so happily
unite the great empire of Germany
with the great republic of the West,
the United States of America."
llrew the Milken Cords.
As he closed his address, Maj. ,Oen %
Gillespie turned to the Ambassadress
and, offering her his arm, escorted her
to the edge of the statue where were
fastened the silken cords attached to
the American and Genrtan flags In
which It whs shrouded. Gripping the
cords firmly one In each hand the Am
bassadress had but to give one tug
before the silken,.folds loosened from
around the figure of Frederick the
Great. Straightway twenty trumpe
ter# of the srmy drawn up In front
of the President’s stand sounded a mili
tary blare of welcome—one prolonged
note —and as the flags slowly parted,

pie, and, accepting the custody of the

formally presented the gift on behalf
of the Emperor to the American peo
ple through their President.
“Mr. President,
“The hearty and truly sincere wel
come which Prince Henry of Prussia I
met with throughout the United States
during his visit In February, 1902, has
left a deep and lasting Impression on
the German Emperor and on the Ger
man people. The citizens of the Unit
ed States showed Prince Henry the
true manner of American hospitality
and where he appeared, he received 'a
greeting, which did not merely come
from the lips, but which had the true
ring of the heart.
“In many addresses, with which the
Prince was honored, the name of Fred
erick the Great was conspicuous. It
was emphasized that the Prince's an
cestor had shown himself a staunch
and true friend of those people who
now were welcoming the descendant
on their own soil. It was pointed out
that Frederick the Great had proved
America’s frlehd at a time, when the
young republic was in the course of
her formation, weathering many storms
and perils. Thus it was this daunt
less Hohenzollern, the father of Ger
many, who laid the cornerstone on
which the friendship between the two
countries might securely rest.
“Emperor William followed with keen
Interest the movement of his brother
In America, and was profoundly touch
ed by the attitude of undisguised
friendship and good will which char-

acterized every step of the Prince, who
returned to Germany as the true in
terpreter of the true American spirit.
“In order to give this visit, which
had terminated under such happy aus
pices, a lasting memorial, Emperor
William called on the genius of Ger
many’s most renowned sculptor to cre
ate a statue of his ancestor. This
statue ho has sent across the seas as
a gift of friendship to the American
people. We now behold It on the ped
estal from which It Is destined to
watch the men who in the magnifi
cent building, soon to adorn these
grounds, are to be instructed in those
sciences which the military geniua of
Prussia’s soldier king so marvelously
perfected.
“May the spirit of this hero Inspire
those men who are to stand as the
pillars of the future army of the
United States, with those qualities
which made the iron Hohenzollern
great among leaders, and which alone
render armies mighty and invincible.
“Mr. President, by order of the Ger
man Emperor, I have the honor of
asking you to sccept this statue as
a token of his majesty’s, and the Ger
man people's sincere friendship for the
people of America.”
The last notes of “Die Wacht Am
Rhelne” were drowned in the enthu
siastic greeting given the President
as he arose and advanced to the edge
of the s|and to deliver his address of
acceptance.
President Roosevelt’s Address.
President Roosevelt, in accepting the
statue, addressing the ambassador,
said:
"Through you I wish on behalf of
the people of the United States to
thing his majesty, the Oermnn Em
peror, and the people of Germany, for
the gift to the nation which you have
Just formally delivered to me. I ac
cept It with deep appreciation of the
friendly regard which it typifies for the
people of this republic, both on the
part of the Emptror and on the part
of the German people. I accept It not
merely as the statue of one of the half
dozen greatest soldiers of all tiAie, and ■
therefore peculiarly appropriate for
placing in this War College, but I ac
cept it as the statue of a great man,
whose life was devoted to the service
of a great people, and whose deeds
hastened the approach of the day when
a united Germany should spring into
being.
"Asa soldier Frederick the Great

which Includes Alexander, Caesar,
and Hannibal in antiquity, and Na

, to the ancient and illustrious house
of Hohenzollern. which, after playing
a strong and virile part in the Middle
Ages, and after producing some men,
like the great Elector, who were among
I the most famous princes of their time,
i founded the royal house of Prussia two
; (entries ago, and at last in our day
I established the mighty German empire
as among the foremost Of world Pow

Tho President referred to the career
of the (Treat ruler and the fitness of
hie statue being placed In the War
College, “for,” he said, "when soldierly
genius and eoldlery heroism reach the
highest point of achievement the man
In whom they are displayed grow* to
belong not merely to the nation from
which he sprang. but to all nations
capable of showing, and therefore
capable of appreciating, the virile and
masterful virtues which alone make
victors In thoee dread atrugglea where
resort Is last had to the arbitrament
of arms."
In concluding his address, the Pres
ident said: ”1 (hank you, and through
you the Herman Emperor and tho Her

fident In the majesty of its future. I
most earnestly pray that in the coming
years these two great nations shall
move on toward their several destinies
knit together by ties of the heartiest
friendship and good will.”
Led by the President the assemblage
arose and with uncovered heads, re
mained standing throughout the play

The next address on the programme
was by special request of the Pres
