The Crown Prince of Prussia and the officers
of his staff have left off their epaulettes, as 1.8 the universal
custom in the Prussian army in time of war. Shaving has
been abandoned, and long boots and campaigning kits
show their expectation of very soon taking the field.
A letter from the Prussian headquarters says
that the cheerful good nature, ready obedience, and ex-
treme sobriety of the soldiers strike everyone upon first
sight, while but a slight acquaintance shows them to be
possessed of an endurance of fatigue and a power of
making long marches on dusty roads and in hot weather
which are quite surprising. With ranks closed up and
without loss of interval, they trudge along even under the
June inn at a rate which most men unencumbered and
walking singly could hardly hope to keep up for any
distance.
Old Field-Marshal Wrangel, who commanded
the Prussian army at the beginning of the late Schleswig
campaign, and has since been relieved from all active
duty, has left for the front, to die, as he said, on horse-
back. The field-marshal is an octogenarian, who fought
in many a battle against Napoleon I.
