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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The ambassadress was gowned in gray velvet and wore a hat of chinchilla. Lieut. Gen. von Loewenfeld was than presented by the Master of Cere monies and, as the special commission er of the German Emperor, transfer red the statue to the custody of his majesty’s personal envoy, Baron Stern burg, the German Ambassador. Huron Sternburg'* Address, Baron Sternburg, the German am bassador, presented a striking appear ance In his sky blue uniform with sil ver trimmings .and high boots and wearing the tartar cap of ermine adorn ed in front with a white aigrette. He was Introduced by Maj. Gen. Gilles pie, and, accepting the custody of the statue from the special commissioner, 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- Selling Out At Cost.

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 ranks In that very, very small group which Includes Alexander, Caesar, and Hannibal in antiquity, and Na poleon, and possibly Gustavus Adol phus, In modern times. He belonged , 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 j srs." 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 man people, for thla statue, which I accept in the name of the American pouple; a people thumb,* blood kln- ship with your own; a people owing much to Germany; a people which, though with a national history far shorter than that of your people, nev ertheless, like your people, Is proud of the great deeds of its past, and Is con 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 ing of "America" by the Marine Bond. The next address on the programme was by special request of the Pres ident, who desired that Lieut. Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff, should speak at the unveiling. The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
