Vienna, Sept. TO- The cavalry charge
during today's manoeuvres was furious
one and it Is thought that several people
were injured. When the kaiser saw that
the Saxons were out manoeuvefing the
Prussians he took the cavalry from the
Saxons to the Prussians. The Saxon ad-

that the Saxon officers became enraged at
his majesty and their comments were
more vigorous than elegant
During the kaiser's charge many were
