HES5IAN PRINCE SHOT

Calais.-Hospitals, both in the field

now, for the fighting that is going
on is fierce and reckless.
Troops upon entering a small vii
lage, held strenuously for several days
by the Prussians. came upon the body
of Prince Max of Hesse. He had
been dead three days. The body had
been stripped of everything but the
tunic and socks and was marked with
five revolver wounds made from be-
hind. The tale is whispered that he
was the victim of his own soldiers.
A rough coffin of real boards was
made for the boy-he was little more
than that-and then for three long
days the body lay in an outbuilding
of small farmhouse. The body now
has been sent into the German lines
Continual night fighting has been
going on. The nights nave been des-
