REPORTED DEATH OF THE CROWN PRINCE

— » ■ SHOT BY A GERMAN BULLET ' LINER HESPERIAN FOUNDERS WHAT AMERICA IS SAYING THE RUSSIAN CRISIS ' GERMANS DEVELOPING BIG ■' ATTACKS . The news from the theatres of the great war to-day discloses no material developments. At the time of writing—with the lato cablegrams to arrive—there las been a comparative lack of news from the Dardanelles and the Western" front, and next to nothing front tho Italian theatre. In the Eastern theatre the Russians have successfully countered a strong offensive movement by the Germans. Fighting appears to be v.ery active in the Middle Niemcu, and in the northeastern corner of Galicia. Russian destroyers in the Black Sea liavo had much the better of an encounter with tho Turkish Fleet. There is a sensational report from Paris, of the death of the German Crown Prince, shot by a German bullet, hut the public will no (}oubt remember a previous occasion when the Prince was killed, and cast the eye of doubt upon this latest intimation. The liner Hesperian, which was reported yesterday to have been torpedoed by a German submarine—passengers and crew being rescued—has foundered. Thirteen of the crew are said to have been lost. ■ There is some interesting comment on the pirates' latest exploit. <
