We know that at a council of war held two days ago at Versailles a majority declared that it was impossible to take Paris.

We know that the German soldiers are dying of starvation and clothed in rags.

We know that they are forced by their officers, against their will, to attack their French brothers.

Did not yesterday a National Guard himself take five Prussian prisoners?
They were starving, and thankfully accepted a piece of bread.

They had a wounded companion in a wheelbarrow, who continually shook his fist in the direction of the "mystic drunkard," and plaintively moaned forth the only French word he knew, "Miserable, miserable!" Did not another National Guard go into a house recently occupied by "Bavarians," and find the following words written on a shutter--"Poor Frenchmen, we love you: they force us to fight against you ?" I believe all this, and many other strange facts, because I see them in print in the newspapers.
