Prince Oscar Slightly Wounded In Head and Thigh During Battle On Eastern Front. Amsterdam, Feb. 7.—Prince Oscar of Prussia, fifth son of Emperor William, has been slightly wounded in the head and on the upper part of the thigh by shell splinters during the fighting in the eastern war theatre. Prince Oscar was wounded at Viriton, Belgium, in September, 1914. He was ill for a long time and was declared to be suffering also from an affection of the heart. He returned to duty in the field in November, 1914, and narrowly escaped capture the following month during the fighting in Poland.
