LONDON, Aug. 21.-(Special. THE

robustness of the situation, and there is
probably not one heir apparent on the
entire continent who has not expressed
Willingness to go to the front where
his country is engaged in conflict. The

dire things, if report is to be believed.
The prince Of Wales is younger and
less experienced, but he, too, is will

armies. Archduke Carl of Austro-
Hungary has offered his life to the
aged Emperor Franz Joseph, and while
Russia's crown prince is too young to
go to the front, he is full of the fight
ing spirit, though greatly enfeebled in
health.
