A little more than a century and a half ago the Kaiser's illustrious pred- evessor, Frederick II., called the Great, was faced by a similar des- perate situation—and lived to triumph over the coalition against him. In the year 1756 Frederick, King of the then insignificant State of Prus- hearing of the design of power- ful enemies on every side to crush him, surprised them by starting the war himself. With a suddenness comparable to the recent movements of Kaiser Wilhelm's armies, Freder- ick's forces invaded the neighbor kingdom of Saxony and bottled ita defenders between Pirna and Koenig- stein.
