WASHINGTON, .Sept. 3. Dispatches
from Switzerland say Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria is in complete
disagreement with General Ludendorff.
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.

it wns evident, observers believe, the
time is fast approaching when General
Pershing's first field army will par

So evident is the growing disorgani
zation among the Germans, some offi
cers think it possible the enemy may
be forced to a withdrawal to the
Rhine this year. Other feel the skill
the German leaders have displayed
does not warrant any anticipation of
an early collapse.
