HEADQUARTERS OF THE CROWN PRINCE OF
PRUSSIA VERSAILLES Sept. 2lThat view from the cap
tured redoubt, yesterday afternoon, was the most
striking Of whole march through France 1t had not
the grand historical interest Of the view Sedan,
when the smoke rolled away and the French were known
have hoisted a flag OF truce. But TO look down on
Paris was in itself wonderful sight The nature Of the
ground and the brightness OF the weather combined to
make the first glimpse of their enemys capital something
which the German troops would never forget. They
might have pay dear before they took the prize, they
might never take IL at all but there they were looking
down the famous buildings OF which they had so often
heard Those solid towers in the center Of the city were
the towers Of the great Cathedral and yonder the
Tueries, with the Louvre behind il; yonder
the dome OF the Invalides, where Ma
poleon I. lay buried. We could scarcely be-
heye that there much as four miles between
where we stood and the old batteries OF Paris, or so
much as two miles and half between and the new
ramparts. The whole place seemed to be at our very
feet while the outlying forts, d'Issy and dc Nauvres,
were near enough TO have sheIed us with ease. Down
on the plain before the French OuworRs we could see
the senries guard and could distinguish good any
figures moving about, as If the forts were strongly
manned To our right and left there parties Of
Bavarians watching the hillside and other parties were
busv al work with spade and mattOck for the captured
re5oubt behind ChadlOn was TO be completed without
loss OF time. The French had not finished when they
were driven out but little more preparation would
secure the position 10 the Germans.
After long look al Paris and careful examination OF
the ground Immediately before his troops, the Crown
Prince returned 10 where the escort Of lancers had
halted and quitting the main ehGusSte crossed some
fields toward the edge Of the woods above MEDIUM There
we're many traces OF the battle Of the previous day,
though it evident that the fighting had not been
nearly so severe on the northern the southern side
Of the road TO Chaton Several dead horses lay in the
track Of the French retreat fearuy mangled by shell
fire and dead soldier could he seen here and there
among the tops Of the beeroots his scarlet trousers con-
trasting wildly with tie prevailing color around
him. At the edge OF the wood there had been longer

men had fallen where the road dipped from the brow to
the slope Of the h and many bodies were being col
lected for burial both from the open fields and from the
wood itself We met a burying party Of peasants, mpe
ments in hand. headed by pale, anxious priest who
bore aof hospital flag and there another party
not far of busy filing IN grave. Theswounded were

slowly to the in ambulance wagons. We saw dur
ing the day great amount OF preparation for their re-
lief. Frenchmen and Germans were working under the
red cross flag with praiseworthy zeal. Here were
the regular assistants Of the German field hospitals,
with the red the sleeve Of their uniform coats
Here the volunteers in plain clothes, but
with the red upon the arm doing their best in the
good work. Then you might chance 20 see group OF
Frenchmen with the red cross badges OF the nterna
tional society on their sleeves and caps watching
the transport OF poor wounded fellows, or taking
care Of them in the cottage where they lay. Carriers
and wagOners Of every sort were helping the good
work, some with badges, without. II mat
