having called up to find out whether
1t was true that the German armies
on the west front have been complete
~ e%nveloped, and that the crown
prince OF Germany had been captured.
The rumors apparently are founded
upon conjectures emanating last night
from Washington, but il they had any
foundation in facts. The Herald would
nave known it as, war news comes
mere over the Associated Press wires
only a few hours after the actual TAX
ing place Of events on the front.
The Associated Press has o re-
ported the capture of the German
crown prince, consequently The Her
aid Is in no position to say that he has
been made a prisoner.
1T is recalled that stories of a
similar nature were circulated in this
city about four months ago, but that
they Immediately proved untrue.
II h combined hopes Of all Grand
Forks citizeIs could blow the German
armies to Atoms. there would be no
fighting on in France at this time.
Whatever part OF the hopes may come
true later on, there is just now moth
ing to indicate that Crown Prince
Frederick William is in the hands of
the British. French or American SOL
diers.
Stories were also circulated here to-
day to the effect that 200, 900. $50, 600
and seven 400 1000 Germans had been
killed and taken prisoners yesterday.
The Associated Press has not reported
such an event, and until the report
