Wounded Arriving In Berlin.
London. Sept. A dispatch to the
Evening News from Copenhagen says;
Great numbers OF wounded are ar
irving in Berlin daily The trains are
not unloaded until dark in order to
avoid undue curiosity on the part Of
the public. The wounded are coming
mostly from East Prussia"
The correspondent says about one
third OF the wounded have been shot
in the legs or feet, which fact is at
tributed To the Russian practice Of fir
ing from the knee.
British prisoners have arrived at
Munster camp in the province of Han
over from France. Belgian and French
prisoners also are arriving. The latter
are mainly Zouaves. The British make
a favorable impression but are ex-

eign missions. be sent to sea to meet

London, Sept. 1.-The French for
eign legion" that interesting institu-
ton so frequently made to figure in ro-
nance. is receiving mention in the war
dispatches. A history Of the legion and
its position in international law is all
the more interesting at the present
time, since the recent enlistments in
clude not only Italians and those of
other European nationalities, but also
a number Of Canadians and Americans
who were unable for one reason or an
other to join the regular forces OF the
Allies.
The employment Of foreign troops is
common episode in military history,
but the general term foreign legion"
which has come 10 be usually. though
rather loosely. applied to the "regi-
ments strangers" in the French serv-
ice. has stood, not for troops sold
into foreign service as were the Hes
sions who fought under the British nag

regular volunteer bodies Of foreign
sympathzers raised by states at war"

mcrous foreign regiments created by
Napoleon at the time OF his return
from Elba.
After the war with Prussia in 1870 a
further reason was added at least
from the French point OF view, for the
existence OF the legion. The French
could not make places in the regular
army for those inhabitants OF
Alsace- Lorraine who refused To serve
the German flag, siace this was er-
pressly prohibited in the terms Of the
treaty Of Frankfort The French held,
however. that they had a right to in
