AlRSRlP SAVES KAlSER'S SON
Wounded Russian Tells of Flight Of
Prince Joachim When in Danger
Of Capture.

Petrograd. Dec. S.-A curious story
OF the kaiser's youngest son, Prince
Joachim, being waited away in an
aeroplane when in danger OF capture,
is told by a wounded Russian lieuten-
ant
The officer relates that at the battle
on Nov. q, the prince was in com
mand of a German force which occu-
pied village after driving the Rus
slams from it. The cars troops, how.
ever. received reinforcementS and re.
occupied the place after fierce fight
It appears that when the Prince
heard Of the unfavorable issue of the
battle he jumped on horse, wrapping
his coat around his head to conceal his
identity. and galloped off after the re-
firing troops.
Three aeroplanes were circling
above for the purpose of discovering
the Whereabouts OF the prince and
rescuing him. Two of the aviators
who attempted to descend near him
came into the fire of the Russian ar.
tillery and their machines were dis
ehled.
BY this time the prince was with a
number Of German troops, who were
completely surrounded by Russians
His position seemed very critical Just
in the nick of time the third machine
came down near him, and taking Q
seat thereon the prince was borne
away to safety.

Paris Bourse Is Opened.

Paris, Dec. S.-When the Paris
bourse opened, after being closed since
Sept. 3, a large gathering of brokers'
and the public assembled, but their
presence apparently simply was out of
curiosity The strident cries of stock
prices usually audible were entirely
absent and If transactions took place
they were effected in the course of
conversation. The market opened hesi-
tatingly AND the close was generally
good. Rentes were quoted at 72 francs
and so centimes.
