KAISER'S SIX SONS

HOW THEY HAVE FADED FROM THE PICTURE. Early in the war the Kaiser's six ons, led b.y the inimitable Crown 'rince, contrived to be well to the rent so long as the dramatic snccosses £ their father's Army continued. What ias happened to them? One finds on reference to reports of heir movements (or should ive say lack if movement?) that they have vanished o the background. The incomparable cuns William we find, from being in :ommand of a Whole army until the ;nd of the battle of the Marne, has, iccording to a Copenhagen message, ejoined "liis regiment," a sorry com>arison with the command of anything jet-ween 200,000 and 300,000 men. Of the resti Prince Eitel Friedrich is said to bo in command of a brigade jn the western front and as having revived the order "Pour le Merito." \Vlint for time may show. The next son, Prince Adalbert, is ,vith the High Sea Fleet and, like it, lias been little heard of. Prince August Wilheim had his thigh fractured while in his motor-car, which was hit by a shell last November, and has just undergone a second operation. Prince Oscar had a heart attack in " the field in October and the last that was heard of him was on November 17, when ho was reported back at headquarters in France. The youngest, Prince Joachim, was also struck in the thigh by a shell, and nothing is known of him since January 20, when ho was assisting von Hinilenburg in lUtssia.
