NOTES OF THE WAR.
LOSSES.


Baron Won Kahden, the husband OF Madame
Pauline Lucca, has succumbed to the wound in the
mouth received before Metz. The telegram des-
patched to his widow did not arrive until after she
had started to nurse. him. The death at Marsha
Tour OF Henry XVII, Prince OF Reuss from grenade
shot, was instantaneous, his body being torn in
pieces and hurled to wide distance. The losses OF
the Guard Regiment have placed Berlin In mourn
ing. A late number OF the RreuS ZeititIg has more
than sixty obituary advertisements OF officers killed
or since dead OF their wounds
THE PROTEST AGAINST INTERVENTION.
The following is the text OF the address to the
King agreed upon at the Berlin meeting held to pro-
test against foreign intervention "Please your Ma
iesty-When seemed inevitable the nation rallied
unanimously round your Majesty and your allies. 1t
to endure faithfully to the end in the struggle
for the security, unity and greatness OF our German
Fatherland. God has blessed the arms which have
been welded with unsurpassed bravery for the
cause OF justice. Victories have been gained with
streams OF our mobiles blood but they have brought
near the proposed end with unexpected rapidity.
Enormous efforts must still be made. The German
people are resolved TO make any sacrifice for
national objects; but in the midst of this
earnest and elevated mood we are disturbed by
overcoming reports that the foreign interven-
tion which did not know how To ward OFF the
horrors OF war, is now endeavorlng to limit the
reward of our struggle according TO It's own Ideas.
The recollection of the events that succeeded the
glorious rising of fathers still lives fresh in our
memories, and warns Germany TO consult only the
requirements OF her own welfare. We therefore
again approach your Majesty, relying upon your
wisdom for the exclusion of all foreign interference,
give better security than hitherto for the peaceabe
conduct OF q neghbOring nation, lay the foundation
OF unity and liberty for the entire German people,
and secure the same against all attacks.
