LIE PRESsE ON THE sITUATIoN-THE KING
OF PRUSSIA MUST GO TO PARIs-oR
''ovERBoARD, jim PECK"
PARIS, Aug. 2s.-Le Presse SAYS the,
official announcement made in the Cham
bers that the Prussians were marching
on Paris caused neither astonishment nor
fear in the capitol. The Parisisns receiv-
ed it with quiet resolution. King Will
liam is fatally led to this hazard in spite
of serious strategic reasons which should
turn him from it. 1t is considered that
this old man has caused a million men,
whom he will never take back, to cross
the Rhine. 1t will be easily
seen that he finds it necessary to risk a
bloody battle at the foot of our towers.
There is not one German in all Prussia,
Bavaria, Wurtemberg, or Baden, who
would. not scorn and curse the King
should he not make a supreme effort to
come here and dictate peace in Paris.
How colld he return to Germany in the
midst of the desolation of families-the
misery and depopulation of city and
country7 Should he not win a bloody
success, his defeat would be complete.
This is a decisive reasons reason more
political than military-which brings the
old King under our walls"
