SAVED BY AEROPLANE.
Reading edition
A curious story of the Kaiser's youngest son, Prince Joachim, wafted away in an aeroplane when in danger of capture is told by a wounded Russian lieutenant.
The officer says at the battle on November 24 the Prince was in command of a German force which occupied a village after driving the Russians from it. The Czar's troops, however, received reinforcements and reoccupied the place after a tough fight.
When the Prince heard of the recapture, he jumped on a horse and galloped off after the retiring troops.
Three aeroplanes were circling above to discover and rescue the Prince. Two of the aviators who attempted to descend came into the Russian fire and were disabled.
By this time the Prince was with a number of German troops completely surrounded by Russians. His position seemed very critical. Just in the nick of time the third machine came down near him and the Prince, taking a seat thereon, was borne away to safety.
