BERLIN, September 11. The Kaisor was ( present at the manoeuvres, ill widen 90,000 men of the Gorman Army took part. The main feature was the attacking of fortified positions in the field similar to engagements in the RussfoJapanese war. The trial of the aerial scout service proved it to be unsuccessful. The airship Parseval was captured, a rainstorm compelling it to descend in the enemy's territory. Itt another case the occupants of a dirigible were hoodwinked by sham field works, tree trunks arranged in imitation of guns, and the dirigible's -report led to preparations for an attack at daybreak. Meanwhile the enemy were entrenched miles away.
