SPARING THE PRUSSIANS
BAVARIANS AGITATED OVER LOSSES
(Received August 27, 9.30 a.m.) BERNE, 26th August. Telegrams from Munich state that the Bavarians are agitated over the enormous losses in Flanders, and declare that the Kaiser and Hindenburg are allowing the flower of the manhood of Bavaria to be massacred in order to spare the Prussians : / -**YE ARE VAINLY EXHAUSTING OURSELVES" (Received August 27, 8.40 a.m.) PARIS, 26th August. A captured German's letter to his father, written at Lens, says : "I would rather go to hell than continue within this imprisoning circle of shells. Thirtyfive of my company of a hundred were made casualties during an hour. The faces of the others were the faces of the condemned awaiting death. The English have a will of iron, against which we are vainly exhausting ourselves."
