Altheim, Germany

Altheim has gone mad with joy over the victory near Metz. Church bells chime and German children sing “Deutschland über Alles” ad nauseam; and the Kur Haus and all private dwellings are draped with bunting. Red Cross people are busy preparing for the wounded—sewing classes are held every day in Bad Haus 8, and the doctors are full of work. Mr. S——, a young Englishman, formerly in the army, has been arrested, and also the hall-porter of the “Grand,” and two English valets.
