GERMAN IMPERIAL MANOEUVRES. 
On the 14th Sept., the Garde Corps was also exercised against a 
skeleton enemy, under the following general idea :— 
The Garde Corps, on the 13th Sept., has crossed the Spree, and, on 
the 14th, is to leave the positions then taken up to the south of Budow 
and, moving on Marienfelde, unite with an army which is operating 
from the south. The Garde cavalry reached Gross-Ziethen on the 
evening of the 13th Sept., and reports that Buchow is not held by the 
enemy, and that Britz and Mariendorf are only lightly occupied by him. 
A northern force (markirte feind ) will operate offensively against the 
Garde Corps from the line Britz-Mariendorf.
