An Unfortunate Likeness. - A Victorian man, now . with Australian artillery somewhere in France, writing to a sister in Melbourne, telle of rather curious experiences. "Tilings are eventful enough hero in the ordinary course of events, goodness knows, but, they are made livelier for me by reason of my extraordinary resemblance to the Crown Prince. ■ I never noticed jt till the fact was forced- on mo, but it's true. I'm pitifully like the bounder. _ Get a good photograph of Little Willie and judge - for yourself. How do yon think the lamentable fact lias been forced upon me? I have been twice captured by Allied troops and taken before the commanding officer under suspicion of being the Crown Prince in disguise! On the first occasion the C.O. was a bit impressed, and it had .to be demonstrated that.l was not the Kaiser'B hopeful heir. The second event, of course, was treated as rather a good joke, and upon my soul the little Frenchmen who captured me looked so bitterly disappointed on finding out their mistake that I wa3 1 half sorry I wasn't W. Hohenzollern, junior. I even apologised. No man could do more."' •
