__________________________________________________________________________ THE ILLUSTRATED WAR NEWS, NOV. 18, 1914--27 [Illustration: A HOLLOW SQUARE OF WRECKAGE: THE REMAINS OF A GERMAN MOTOR-TRANSPORT CONVOY GROUPED ROUND THE SOLDIERS' GRAVE.] There is something gruesomely appropriate in this photograph of the wreckage of a destroyed German motor-transport wagon train, or convoy, grouped in a sort of hollow square about the graves of the officers and men involved in the destruction of their charge. The place is in the Argonne district, the tract of rough country, between the sources of the Aisne and the Meuse, through which the high road from Paris to Verdun passes. How catastrophe befell this particular German convoy we can guess. More than one of the enemy's transport trains, moving in this part of the country, are recorded to have fallen victims to long-range bombardments by the French artillery as the result of aeroplane reconnoitring activity--[Photo. by Alfieri.] __________________________________________________________________________ 28--THE ILLUSTRATED WAR NEWS, NOV. 18, 1914. [Illustration: TELLING THE TALE IN GERMANY!--PRINCE EITEL FRITZ AS A DRUMMER.] Like his father and brothers, Prince Eitel Fritz, the Kaiser's second son, has received the Iron Cross. It has not been made known over here how the Prince won it. Our illustration, reproducing a picture from a German paper, may solve the difficulty. Says the legend: "The Prince seized the drum of a fallen soldier and led his troops, beating the charge." [Illustration: TELLING THE TALE IN GERMANY!--SEARCHING FOR THE BRITISH FLEET.] One of the curious fictions about England now going round in Germany is one that Sir John Jellicoe's fleet keeps in hiding lest it should meet the German fleet. German war-ships, indeed, scour the North Sea at all hours to give the Grand Fleet battle! Our illustration, from a serious painting published in a German paper, shows them at it. __________________________________________________________________________ THE ILLUSTRATED WAR NEWS, NOV. 18, 1914--29 [Illustration: TELLING THE TALE IN GERMANY!--A GERMAN BATTLE-PICTURE SHOWING PRINCE HEINRICH OF BAVARIA LEADING A CAVALRY ASSAULT.]
