LOpiniOne Ndtio1sdIe SAYS the German
journals and those of Belgium have as
serted that the troops of the landwehr are
not in the field, with the exception. of the
artillery. Nothing can be more false than
that statement. Every one acquainted
with the Organization of the Prussian
forces is aware that the first ban of land
wehr, consisting of men from twenty five
TO thirty-five years of age, have formed
the greater part of the Prussian forces.
Not only did that portion Of them enter
the field as soon as the mobilization of the
army was ordered, but regiments, brigadss
and divisions of the second ban of land
wehr, in the provinces nearest France
have reinforced the armies of Frederick
Charles and Stein metz. The fact of the
