GERMAN MOBILES NOT KILLED
Members Of Royal Family Remain Fa,
Enough Away to Avoid Danger
Of Enemy sheIIa

Germany has been engaged in war
for three years and up to the present
time not a "blooded" German has
lost his life. In the list of killed and
wounded there has not appeared the
name of q Prussian or German
prince, nor even a member of the no
bility. If they are around the fir
ing line at all, they are in deep eel
lar with floor covered with fine car
pet, comments the Dcs Moines Capt.
tai.
The emperor of Germany has six
sons, and not one of them has re-
ceived scratch. One or two Of them
have been married since the war be-
gan, and the crown prince, who was
supposed to command at Verdun,
has had another prince born to him.
The German autocracy is not 60
ing hungry. None of it members is
carrying bread ticket. With them
everything goes on as usual. 1t was
charged in the European newspapers
afew weeks ago that a carload or two
of beautiful singers were sent to
Verdun on special trains in order to
dance and sing and cause the crown
prince to forget his troubles, while
he is more than twenty-five miles
from any cannon.
There may be mourning in every
household in Germany. There is
mourning in every household of the
common people. But the emperor
and the royal family generally have
no personal occasion for shedding Q
tear. !.
