FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
Berlin, Aug. i&—This city
was thrown into a state of ex
citement yesterday by the re
ceipt of news from the front
that Frederick William, Crown
Prince of Germany, had been
seriously w ounded w hile on the
fighting line in Belgium. Just
to what extent he was injured
was suppressed, but it is known
that the Kaiser left for Aix 'a
Chapelle at once on receipt of
the news that Frederick Wil
liam was at that point. It was'
under protest from his father
that the Crown Prince had gone
to the front. Frederick Wil
liam is a great favorite in this
city and the news of his being
wounded wag a shock to Ber
liners.
Russian Army Ready to Fight
St. Petersburg, Aug. 10—It is
announced in this city that the
Russian land forces are now
ready to take the offensive a
gainst Germany and Austria, j
One and one half millions of
men will be launched against
the Germans at once probably
in three different columns.
One million will b^ -ent against
Austria, and a great reserv;
army will be massed at some
point on the southwestern Iron
tier of Russia available to aid
either army. This is the first
field army, and preparations
for putting a second army of
dose to two millions more in

Germans Are Too Strong
Paris. Aug. 10—The two arm
ies at Waterloo fought each
other to a standstill yesterday,
and the German forces with
drew’ during the afternoon and
are apparently awaiting rein
forcements, The battle front
extends close to thirty mile> in
length. Military experts m
thi; city fear the numbers o.
the Germans are so great thai
the Allies will be unable to
check them permanetly. unless
Russia is able to make a strong
attack on Germany's easier ’
frontier within a few days, and
thus force the latter country to
divide her forces. It is esti
mated that Germany now ha
over a million men of all arms
in Belgium, which is more than
the Allies can mass against
them. Great Britain has one
hundred thousand men avail
able. Belgium about a- many
more, and France four hundred
thousand. The Germans con
tinue the solid frontal attack of
men closely massed, which of
course enables them to hit ha>- ’
w hen they come in actual touch
with the forces opposing them
but the rifle and machine gun
fire has been so heavy in al
most all their attacks ‘hat the>
have failed to come to clutches,
their closely bunched rank
going down like grain before
the reaper while yet they wer
yards and yard- away from th'
objective point. But in spite c
all this, their numbers and or
ganization enables them t
rush more men forwardto tak'
the places of those who hav
fallen. This fact makes the
military experts believe that i!
spite of defeat after defeat
Germany will pres, steadily for
ward until she is on French
soil, and then will come th<
great and final matching
the strength of the two forces
Every mile the German troop'
advance makes it that muc!
harder to keep them supplier'
with food and amunitk>n. whip
it puts the French just tha
much nearer their base of sup
plies and makes the task o'
caring for their army that mud
easier.

“On To Strassburg”
Nancy. Aug. 10—Aided by the
residents of Alsace, the French
army is driving the German

try is proving more than a
match for the Germans, and
the latter are in full retreat.
