From Paris comes the story of the arrival of twenty-eight Prussian
prisoners, the first to be seen in the French capital in the present
war. It seems they had become separated from their regiment and lost
their way. They asked a peasant near Meaux if the Germans had taken
Paris and how to get there. The peasant replied that he thought Paris
had fallen and would conduct them to the right road. When it was too
late the Prussians found he was leading them into the British lines.
