ser recently delivered a characteristic speech to the First Prussian Guard Division. which is commanded by his second son. Prince Eitel Friedrich. So little has been heard of this Hohen- zoliern that his reply is not without interest. After referring to various engagements in which his troops have 1 taken part, Prince EiteI Friedrich said:
 Many gap has been made in our ranks. and many q brave cornrade has coloured red with his hearts blood the fresh spring green of the Chemin des Danes.
