[Illustration: TELLING THE TALE IN GERMANY!--PRINCE EITEL FRITZ AS A
DRUMMER.]

Like his father and brothers, Prince Eitel Fritz, the Kaiser's second son,
has received the Iron Cross. It has not been made known over here how the
Prince won it. Our illustration, reproducing a picture from a German
paper, may solve the difficulty. Says the legend: "The Prince seized the
drum of a fallen soldier and led his troops, beating the charge."

[Illustration: TELLING THE TALE IN GERMANY!--SEARCHING FOR THE BRITISH
FLEET.]

One of the curious fictions about England now going round in Germany is
one that Sir John Jellicoe's fleet keeps in hiding lest it should meet the
German fleet. German war-ships, indeed, scour the North Sea at all hours
to give the Grand Fleet battle! Our illustration, from a serious painting
published in a German paper, shows them at it.

[Illustration: TELLING THE TALE IN GERMANY!--A GERMAN BATTLE-PICTURE
SHOWING PRINCE HEINRICH OF BAVARIA LEADING A CAVALRY ASSAULT.]

Early in the war, the Kaiser commissioned various painters to produce
battle-pictures of German prowess. The royal house of Bavaria has
apparently followed suit. More recently the Kaiser expressed a wish that
the British might meet the Bavarians "just once" and his wish was
gratified. In depicting a Bavarian cavalry fight with French dragoons, the
Bavarian artist naturally represents the enemy as going down like
nine-pins. Prince Heinrich, who figures in the drawing, is the only son of
the late Prince Francis Joseph of Bavaria, first cousin of Prince
Rupprecht, the Bavarian Crown Prince, who recently exhorted his troops to
conquer "our most hated foe." He also highly extolled the Bavarian
cavalry, who, he said, have fought "with the greatest fearlessness and
extraordinary dash."
