received the appointment ofaide-de-camp
TO the Crown Prince, he accompanied him
to Balmoral, and was present at his be-
trothaL to the Princess Royal. He was
with the Crown Prince in Breslau for a
year, and accompanied him twice to Eng
land, first on the occasion of his marriage.
and next on the occasion of the funeral
of the Prince CoDsort. He was oppoint-
ed chief of the general staff. In that posi-
ton it fell to his lot to inspect the whole
OF the northern coast, to arrange a system
OF defence which migIt be applied to all
states bordering on the sea. Nothing,
however, was done at that time. The
German Diet voted against every Prussian
proposition, and were especially averse
to the idea of a German fleet being put
under PrusSian direction. In the Danish
war he was in command Of the general
staff, after the storming of Duppel, and
he projected the attack on Alsen and the
occupation of JGtland. His reputation
was now considerably extended but few
men even in Germany knew that in the
man in spectacles' the country possessed
her best general and highest strategist.

wasn't a little state and Prussia a big
