THE GERMAN ARMY
BIG MANOEUVRES. THE USE OF THE MOTOR AND AEROPLANES. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 111, I>l p.m. Berlin, September 11.
One hundred and ten thousand troops are partaking in the manoeuvres beginning to-day. The Kaiser has arrived.
Prince Friedrich Leopold of Prussia commands one army, and Field-Marshal von Der Goltz the other. The scene of the manoeuvres is in the forest country at Mecklenburg, on the Pomeranian border. It includes a chain of lakes, where General Murat, Napoleon's dashing cavalry leader, isolated and overwhelmed the retreating Prussians in 1800.
Supplies are being delivered in 5-ton motor waggons, travelling at twenty miles an hour. Four aeroplanes are with each army. Each has a pilot and observer.
