“A report from Basel confirms earlier statements that the Kaiser watched
the Germans bombarding Nancy,” says a correspondent of the London
_Standard_. “Attended at first by a small staff, he took up a position
on a hill overlooking the town, just outside the range of the French
artillery.
“For several hours the Kaiser stood alone in an isolated spot in the
full glare of the sun, his eyes glued to a field glass through which he
was following the operations of his army. Finally he walked back to a
waiting automobile and was driven away unattended.”
