THE KAISER’S ESCAPE.
During the British raid on Mannheim on Christmas Eve the Kaiser and his staff had an extremely narrow escape. They were returning from the Verdun front on their way to Berlin, V * and the imperial special train passed through Mannheim station a bare hour before the structure was partially wrecked by British bombs. The train was, in fact, the last to leave Mannheim, and .none has since arrived at Basle from that point. The permanent way has been destroyed for some distance beyond the station, thus cutting off communication with the north.
