The mobilization Of the Prussian army ID progressing
With considerable apidty and will be completed by the
LIST Of july a far regards the six corps 70 which
limited by the Prince Regents order Of the l4th instant
They are to form Two armies, the first Of which, consist
ing of The Fourth, Seventh and Eighth corps will be sta
toned on tee Rhine and the second composed Of ths
Third and FIFTH corps, the Main; while the Guards will
act as reserve and be placed at central point read
pess 10 support either Of the armies 1t % yet quite
uncertain who will take the chief command Of those
troops. Field Marshal Wrangel insists strongly On his
claims to this post but is not likely that he will sue
coed In asserting them. The old gentleman is now
seventyye years OF age, his strstegical talents were
always more than doubtful and TO place him at the head
Of the army would be to invite q repetition OF the
disasters Of 1906. The Prince Of Prussia has
great notion Of assuming the functions Of
generais'imo in proprfa persona, in which case
he would have either General Wasson the Minister Of
War; General Bonn for his chic: of the STAFF the latter
she only officer 10 the Prussan army, with the exception
OF wraDgel, who has held independent command
IN actual warfare and though he not very fortunate
on that occasion, being utterly routed by the Danes at
Frederick, his military talents said to be of
ORDER and might perhaps make up for the absence
Of them on the part Of bis Royal Hghness who strict
discpnarian but no general any rate the prince has
. high opinion Of him The Prince OF wurtemberg is
talked Of as com nander Of the First army, and Prince
Radzv Of the Second but up present moment an
have just stated, definite resolution has been ar
rived at this subje;.. The same corps darme
are stil under the command Of their old chiefs
who, however, will have to make room for younger or

Charles Of the Guards but these arrangements ara

material Of war-ahe has soldiers In abundance but she
dceucy will be severely felt lii the event Of al encounter
with the veteran maishss Of France.
AS soon the Blk corps above mentioned ready 10
