The incident is thus described by the _Lokal Anzeiger_: "When the occupants of one of the tents in the camp failed to turn out for work, a group of reservists in charge of the camp were ordered to drive them out. Lonsdale struck one of the German soldiers. A sergeant major drew his sword and hit Lonsdale several blows on the back. "At the trial the president of the court-martial told witnesses to speak the truth and not to be influenced by hatred of the English." REAL LUXURIES. The way in which the Russian soldiers will risk their lives for comparatively small luxuries is evidenced by the following story: During the fighting in East Prussia, a corporal asked permission to take a couple of his comrades and try to surprise one of the German scouting patrols. When he returned and reported that his effort had been successful, his officer asked him why he volunteered for such risky work. The corporal replied that the previous night a friend had relieved a German officer of a good supply of chocolate and a flask of brandy, and he wanted to "try his luck," too. "And what did you get?" asked the officer. The corporal grinned and showed two cakes of milk chocolate and five cigars. THE GRATEFUL PRINCE. A letter from Prince Joachim, the Kaiser's youngest son, who was recently wounded in action against the Russians in the East, to a non-commissioned officer who rendered first aid to him, was given out here by the German Information Service last night as follows: "MY DEAR CORPORAL: You surely must have thought me ungrateful for not having thanked you ere this for your kind aid. I would have done so long ago had it not been for my removal to Berlin. To-day the Empress read me your letter, which was a source of great joy to me and her Majesty. At the time when you rushed on with your company I did not find an opportunity to thank you for your faithful aid. I shall always be grateful to you for it. That was true comradeship. I trust you are in good health when this letter reaches you. Did Private Ewe get a new package of bandages? I have reproached myself for having taken his. And now farewell and remember me to all the boys of the 83d, my Cassel friends, and tell them that I shall be back as soon as I am able to get on my feet again. Your thankful comrade, JOACHIM, "Prince of Prussia." "TOO AWFUL TO DESCRIBE!" An eyewitness, a soldier who took part in that fearful siege, describes his impressions of the slaughter near Przemysl: "The fury of the Russians' attack was shown by examination of the battlefield. The bodies of fallen Russians in the zone of our obstacles formed great piles many meters high. It was a terrible sight. I was one of a squad accompanying the examining officers. It was too sickening to repeat. Those masses of dead and dying wounded men. The dead were not so terrible--so sad to me!--as those wounded.
