BERLIN, July 18.-—Wo arrived here
from Denmark in due course. The
journey is somewhat out of the com-
mon ‘by the breaks of rail and steamer.
The route Is over a long stretch of the
mainland, then a mile of water on a
ferry bout. another stretch of land on
an island. then a two hours' trip on a
boat to the mainland, The last stretch
is all in Germany via. Vanamunds.
The total time from Copenhagen is ten
hours less five minutes. of which two
and a half are by water. Through
cars to Berlin are carried on the boats,
at) there is no change for through pas-
sengers or mulls. The German cus-
toms ofiicers examine the luggage on
the last best. and although we had
been told they were almost as rigid
as in New York. they chalked our
pieces 0. K. without turning a key or
unbuckling a strap, which -saved us
trouble and enabled lie to enjoy an ex-
ccllent meal on the boat. and set on
deck awhile, enjoying the sail.
Ten years have elapsed since we first
visited this city, and the changes have
been numerous and all for improve-
ment. There has been a steady pro-
gress in ornamentations and the em-
peror has been prominent as a promo-
tor of beautifying his capital. lf Wil-
helm ll has impressed his personality
upon the rest of the world. he has cer-
tainly endeared himself to the tier—
mans in a greater degree than any of
his predecessors. His personal influ-
ence is immense and as King of Prus-
sia as well as Emperor of Germany, he
continues popular, His latest contri-
bution to this city is characteristic and
valuable. it consists of thirty-two mar-
ble semi-circular recesses along the
avenue leading to the ’l‘hcirgartcn. the
famous park of Berlin. There are six-
teen on each side. of the city. The
of former rulers and heroes of Ger-
many from the earliest time'. Back
busts of three of the most famous mln<
isicrs or military generals, conspicu-
ous as supporters of the ruler in the
center. Queens are represented in
several of these statues which are
magnificent works of art and Berlin
has reason to be proud of their posses-
sion In the plaza approaching these
groups. which are at least two hundred
feet apart and thus extend over a half
mile. are white, marble fountains with
emblematic figures and a fitting intro-
duction to the Emperor‘s gift.
Berlin has so often been described as
a city of modern beauty that it seems
impossible to add anything In this
hurried series of letters, to convey any
new impressions 01 it. without appear.
ing to resort to exaggeration. We have
nothing as a whole in American cit-
ies to compare with it. There are so
many beautiful things, or as the tour-
ist calls them, “sights" in Berlin It is
a most difficult city to visit, unless one
has an abundance of time. i make no
pretence of either time or ability to
convey an adequate impression of Ber-
lin on these terms. The list of attrac-
tions embraces palaces, art galleries.
parks, mus ums, excursions to Pots-
dam and o ,r"suburbs. drives and in-
Berlin is rich in bronze statuary.
and the number is steadily increasing.
The equestrian statue of Frederick the
Greet, in front of the Palace is world
renowned. it is a marvellous concep-
tion of honor to a military hero and
ruler in its execution and accessories.
This and many more we saw ten years
ago. . We were interested in some of
the newer pieces, conspicuous among
which is a noble figure i bronze of
Prince Bismarck. which pro crly stands
on the esplansdo in front of the new
Parliament house. (or Reichsrath) it-
. self a magnificent monument of Ger-,
man modern architecture 1 thfitk
than any of the sons of Germany. Di-
rectly opposite. across a broad avenue
a statue of heroic else of Von Moitke,
the great general who co-operated with
Bismarck in creating and solidifying
the German e_,mpire is being raised.
and the two men whose figures thus
confront each other are never to be for-'
gotten by their countrymen.
The so—called militarism of Germany
is a reality. and the military spirit is
predominant. The soldier is not only
in evidence in cities and camps, but
the families whose sons are in the
army. the absent husbands and fathers,
are forcible reminders that military
service-is no joke. As are any it “means
business." The great national here is,
doubly interesting for its representa-
tive German cannon 0! past centuries.
but expressly so for its war trophies.
The artillery taken from Austria in
1806 and- from the French in 18110 are
cessihie to the public I say in part.
because hundreds have been donated
to cities and towns. and used in manu-
facturing monuments and memorials oi
the wars. 1 am reminded of what an
army officer in Munich told me in 1000.

outset the erection of a Victory col-

The perpetuation in marble and
bronze of the military glory is not.
however, all the evidence of the faith
of the Germans in human greatness

erous statues of genius and worth out-

and there are others which i do not
recall by name. There is a statue of

erected in 1849. before the great Ger-

the praises bestowed, upon her, has
been erected here, which strangely
enough revives the old military idea
as the reliefs on the pedestal rcpre~
sent woman's work in war. before the
Red Cross days. it is a graceful trib-
ute to a lovely woman, but there is too
,much of war and war's experience in
it to excite the emotions of pity and
sympathy which this lovely Queen de-
served.
The musical attractions of Berlin In
the summer are confined to the baml
performances in gardens. halls and
public gardens. The military bands of
Germany are renowned for their proli-
ciency and it was remarked by a wise
German years ago that the music was
about all the people now receive In re-
‘turn for their taxes to support the
mat military machine of the nation.
IThcse bands are thus employed all ov-I
er Germany, and there is considerable
rivalry between Bavaria, Saxony and
Prussia as to which turns out the best
'mliitary music. Munich insists that
the Berlin music is inferior to its
own. Be this as it may, this city cer-
tainly enjoys a musical feast in sum-
mer beyond that of any other city, for
beside the military hand. there are
orchestras from all parts of the couti~
neat. nicluding a famous one from La-
Scala, in Milan, Which are employed
here for the recreation period. At the
Zoological Garden there are several
hands (it is another Tim") and on my
first visit 1 witnessed an extraordinary
scene in thc‘ La Scala orchestras They
had just concluded a remarkably fine
overture from Weber‘s Iberon. " when
a strolling baud outside the pavilion
played the Italian natural air. About
half the musicians from La Scala had
left their scale. including the leader.
The rest were. so excited by the sound
of their national music outside that.
they seized their instruments. and
without a leader or any other assist-
ance. began to play the same air. In
a moment the absentces were back in
their places; the. leader returned. rais-
ed his baton and led his band in con-
tinuation of the impromptu extra The
in pert stored in the arsenal and ac- - audience rose to the occasion and were
wildly enthusiastic over the scene. The,
orchestra was cheered had it seemed to
put new life into their very instru-
ments and playing Ever since La-
Scala musical artists have been im-
mensely popular in this city .
.Of all the excursions around Berlin.
the one to Potsdam is the most popu-
iar and is seldom missed by tourists.

less many points of interest are omit-
ted and a free use of cabs is made.

and his court ire~
tinsht. it Is said Potsdam is the true
cradle of the German army, From
here Frederick William i established
regulations for uniformity in drill, a
discipline which he had previously
tested on his giant grenadiues. livery
regiment had annually to send in do-
tschment of officers. non~‘couimission-
ed officers and men to Potsdfm where
the King personally tested tielr profi-
ciency in drill To this day some of
these old regulations are maintained.
The attractions in Potsdam are the
palaces and their contents, and partic-
ularly the Sansoncl, which was a pet
creation of Frederick the Great. which
was avowcdly designed to excel Vor-
sallles. One can easily see the French
style in the decorations and in the gar-
dens. The Town palace was occupied
by the great Frederick, and one of its
curiosities is a dining room adjoining
his bed room or cabinet. From this
apartment the dining table could be
let down by means of a trap door. and
a freshly appointed table raised with-
out delay of a change. it is said this
contrivuuce Was made to enable the
King and his chosen friends to dine
alone. without risk of being overheard
by the attendants. it would require
columns of space to describe all these
palatial apartments. Sunsoncl palace
is a one story building. erected for
the Kings. on designs in 1745-47. Fred-
erick the Great occupied it constantly
and his own apartments remain unal-
tered as he left them. and Voltaire was
one of his companions. but when they
quarreled over some trivial matter, the
King resolved to get rid of him with-
out the formality of pointing to the
door. He removed him to a room dec-
orated ('3) by a wonderful assortment
of monkey pictures and then grinning
so disconcerted Voltaire that he took
the hint and his departure at the same
moment.
'lhe (imagery is a modern structure
completed in 1856. The way of this
interesting palace leads by the famous
historical Windmill. the original own-
or of which refused to sell the prop-
erty to Frederick the Great on any
terms. and the King said he had the
law on his side, and the mill was un-
sold until after the owner's death, it
is now Royal property, bill is allowed
to stand as a monument of the rights
of the common citizen over royalty.
'i‘he Orangery is 330 yards in length
and is a grand building. it contains
hundreds of choice master pieces in
paintings and sculpture. There is a
central saloon. a Malachite saloon. am-
ber room and tortoise shell room. all
dccoratui according to their titles. The
terraced garden is a marvel of scenic
effccl. and is still maintained in the
style, of the sixteenth century.
The new palace is the residence of
the present Emperor. and was planned
by Frederick the Great during the
seven years' war, as a visible proof of
his wealth and power. it was built
by him in 1763439. at a cost of $2,250-
out). The main building is 700 feet
long, and the central portion sur-
mounted by a dome, Is three stories
high. it fell 11,110 decay from disuse
and want of care 1th was partially
restored by William and thoroughly
so by the present emperor. Behind the
palate i‘uc_ing west are the extensions
connected by semi circular colonnadc.
The extensions are designed for the
royal rctinuc. and together with the
palace. form an imposing pile, though
in detail the architecture is somewhat
careless.,, The interior contains about
two hundred rooms. the fanciful dec-
oration of which speaks highly for the
decorators outplayed by Frederick the
Great, although in elegance they are
inferior to the rooms in the Town pal-
are. There are numberlcss riches of
the great King and a portrait of Vol-
taire, drawn by him. The most re.-
mnrkable of all (and one of the most
ruuarkable In the world) is the shell
saloon. The ceilings and walls are in-
laid with shelis in great quantity, the
friezes with minerals and precious
stones. There are panels representing
water nymphs, and other figures, all
made in mosaics of shells. and our old
fashioned Connecticut escsllops are
represented by the thousands of cell-
ing decorations. There are oyster
shells, too, with singular gradations in
colors. butthc pink and pearl slicks.
abalones. etc. are abundant. One pan-
el contains a marble fountain with
fishes carved with great precision, and
making an apprOprlaie ornament to
this singular room, designed originally
by the great warrior King. The pro»
sent Emperor has contributed to its
singularity by,,'shells and minerals
brought in recent years from Norway.
There are great halls and saloons in
this palace. or theatre. with seats for
500 persons. “and a- splendid banquet-
ting hall. withmagnllicept chandeliers

and are worth a study. Only time and
space preclude a larger reference to
these wonders and other work of art
at Potsdam. Three days would hardly
suffice to do them justice. As it hap-

a. m. to 8 p. m. and were well tired
