The crown prince, it is said, opposed the last German offensive, holding that the Germans had neither the jneans nor the strategic positions to be suc cesful. - ' It is suearested that the situation may explain why the crown prince has gone home on a long vacation. Wonorta from the British front to day indicated to officials here that the German retirement, heretofore con ducted with skill, wa getting out of hand.
