THE LANDwBER IN THB FIELD.
.LOpinion Natiouale says German jou1pals,
and those of Belgium have asserted 1hg$ The
troops of the LandweiIr are not yet In the ftoldi
with the exception Of the artillery. Nothing
can be more false than this statement Z Every
one acquainted with the organization Of the
PrussIan forces Is aware that the first ban OF
Landwehr, consisting men from rs to 3ltyears
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 moSiliza-

Landwehr In provlnceslae to France have
reinforced the armies eli Frederick Charles and
Landwehr being called on for service outside
the Prussian territory has not occurred since
the campaigns of l9le. Prussia, therefore, says
phe Opinion NatioHale, is making her final
effort.
