It is well-night impossible to re
sist belief in tlio wild-cat messages

lied victory. Here aro the messages
as they started: "Crown Prince's
forces trapped in a pocket." "Ger
man losses since their last drivo
started, 150,000." As these messages
ran along tho wires they were caught
at different points and news was made
of them thnt the Crown Prince had
been defeated nnd 150,000 Germans
captured. Note how easily tho facts
merged into an erroneous report. Best
wait official news.
