BALTIMORE, Oct. 10. Regret
that he cannot g-o back to Germany
to aid in reuniting his country )s
the principat emotion of the ex
crown prince in exile at Wieringen,
Holland, according to an authorized
interview- with him, to be printed
tomorrow morning by the Balti
more Sun. The cabled interview,
which is copyrighted by that paper,
"was given to Henry L. Mencken, the
critic and essayist, who has Been in
central Kurope for several months. t
Mr. Mencken comments on the
dreariness of the island, which is
entirely cut off from the mainland
for weeks during the winter. His
narrative proceeds ' ,
But this deadly isolation has
failed to make an noticeable im
pression on the spirit or frame of f
the prince. There are touches of
gray in his sandy hair, but he still
is erect as a drill sergeant, and as
quick in speech and movement.
Very tall, slim and lithe, and now
smooth shaven, he looks much like
a big boy.
"But certainly there is nothing
immature about his ideas. Among
all the Germans I have talked to
during the past six weeks, ranging
-'from officials to newspaper editors,
and from university professors to
business men, I can recall none
whose views of past and present
events contain less of illusion. He
discusses the war objectively and
with great shrewdness and accepts
his present position uncomplainingly.

Stupendous Task Kneed.
" 'Germany he said, 'faces stu
pendous tasks and almost intoler
able burdens and it is naturally
hard for any German to stand by
without taking a hand. I sincerely
wish I could be more actively em
ployed, but certainly have no de
sire to complicate the present situa
tion by raising factional questions.
It would be absurd, of course, to
eay dynastic considerations do not
interest me, but they assuredly take
second place in my thoughts. In
such days as these I am first of all
a German citizens anl soldier. As
such, my duty is precisely that of
every other good German to subor
dinate personal fortunes and even
personal opinions to the common
good. What we need today above
all is national unity. A thoroughly
united Germany would be unbreak
able.' "I asked the prince if he would
vote, supposing himself at home.
'Certainly,' he answered. 'My
wife always votes. Why shouldn't 1'?
"Watchful Major Mueldner evi
dently feared I would ask him how
he would vote, but the prince him
self saved the situation.
" I refuse to answer,' he said
with a smile. 'The ballot is secret
by law and I always try to obey the
laws.'
Prince Bit Philosophical.
"The prince takes a philosophical
view of the extravagant tales about
him circulated in America during
the war. For example, the stories
of wholesale burglaries in France.
He collects such fables with humor
ous interest and was apparently de
lighted with several I contributed
from the archives of the Creel press
bureau.

said, 'do not annoy me half as much!
as their authors probably think.)

had won a sweeping victory, I'd
have got as crown prince far more
than my fair share of the glory. In
defeat I get, perhaps, rather more
than a fair share of the blame and
execration, at home and abroad, but
such- are the fortunes of war for
commanding officers. I doubt that
any sane American seriously be
lieves today that I was guilty of
the fantastic crimes laid to me dur
ing the war.'
"Like most other Germans, the
prince believes that the European
situation will never bek genuinely
remedied until the United States
takes a hand in it. 'It rather sur
prises me,' he said, 'that the United
States as a nation shows so little
concern about the immediate future
here. Things go steadily from bad
to worse I don't mean in Germany
alone, but everywhere on the con
tinent, i
World Trade Paralyzed.
" 'Here in rich, peaceful Holland,
among people famous for industry
and business capacity, the effects i
of the German situation are every
where visible. Hollanders must sell
their goods, but their best customer.
Germany, can no longer buy. nor
will she ever buy again until there
is a radical dealing with the evils
which beset her. I hear that tradp
is almost as badly paralyzed in the
two Americas and for the same rea
son. Kurope simply cannot buy the
surplus of the natural products of
the western hemisphere. Thus, one
half of the civilized world sees its
crops rotting in the fields and ware
houses and the other half faces
starvation."
"The underlying cause of all this
disorganization and distress is the
Versailles treaty. It was made n

anger and in total disregard of the
most elementary economic Jaws ana
common sense. Today the fact that
it is utterly unworkable is obvious
to everyone. It is doing almost as
much damage in France, in fact, as
to Germany, and scarcely less to
the other allies and neutrals. The
speech of Reginald McKenna in
New York last week ought to be
accepted by the whole world as a
plain warning. McKenna knows the
situation thoroughly and he told
the simple truth.
" 'The entrance of the United
States 'into the war threw the bal
ance toward tbe allies and was
largely responsible for their victory.
But the United States opposed the
treaty before it was signed and has
never ratified it since. I am in
hopes that the view of it thus in
dicated will generally win over j
those who still believe it can be
executed. Failing in that hope, I
can see no way out save through a
catastrophe. That catastrophe, re
member, .is not remote; it lies di
rectly around the corner.
"The prince told me he was very
eager to see the United States, but
that, he said, must wait for better
times. This is no day for Germans
to be traveling. Thefe is too much
work to do at home and too little
money."
FARRAR CONCERT IS DUE
Diva to Sing at Auditorium To
morrow Xiglit.
Geraldine Farrar, the Deautirul
and popular Metropolitan "super-
assisted by Henry weldon,
eminent basso: Joseph Melkin, in
ternationally famed cellist, and
Claude Gotthelf, accompanist, will
be heard in concert at the audito
rium tomorrow night at 8:15 under
direction of Steers & Coman.
The Los Angeles- Times of October
4 says:
"The new music season is here. It
dawned gloriously, for it brought
the return of Geraldine Farrar
Farrar with her song; Farrar with
her smile, and Farrar with her fan,
her new coiffure and her rose
decked gown.
"It brought also an audience that
insured for the diva a glowing pop
ular triumph. The stage, the audito
rium, the balconies and the gallery
well, thats' been told many times
before: but for some reason or other,
they seemed filled, to even greater
capacity than heretofore. The audi
ence was literally everywhere, round
and about the central shining pres
ence of its sun-like idol.
"No one can ever feel that he is
being slighted at a Farrar concert.
She has a way of convincing you
that she is singing to your partic
ular portion of the audience at some
time during her every song. Her
showmanship is ever evident. She
knows rvot only how to fascinate,
but also how to please. There is no
lack of reserve in her manner, while
doing all this, but nevertheless the
impression persists with you that
you have felt the subtly personal
touch of Farrar."

way one of the authorities who took
part in the lorfg hours of question

"There is nothing to support
Schneider's story other than his con
viction that he, himself, is telling
the truth. e added.
In the confusion of dout and sus

later developments of the Hall-Mills
tragedy these questions are being
asked on the streets by persons who
are absorbed by the murder puzzle
Were t-here two parties of spies
upon suspected love affairs oh the
Phillips farm the night the rector
and singer were shot to death? It is
possible that the one party, seeking
divorce evidence rather than mur
der, found themselves close behind
a band of drunken boys who did- th
killing in a mistaken belief as to
their identity.
There was no blood found under
the body of Mrs. Mills, though her
head was nearly cut off. D4d a mem
ber of the second party, in a frenzy
of jealousy, attempt to wreak ven
geance on the dead woman by slash
ing at her throat and neck when she
was growing cola?
George Totten, chief detective of
Somerset county, said there had been
a number of recent developments of
great significance which would

here. One by one the first four
stories were torn to pieces and
shown by Schneider's own conflict
ing statements to be a tissue of
lies. The fifth statement he signed.
It was pointed out this afternoon
that Hayes was sent to jail from
Somer;lle yesterday on the strength
of Schneider's earlier statement, a
statement which was later repudi
ated and discarded by his fif ti
statement, signed at 10:15 o'clock
last night. Persons close to the
prosecutor's office say that the fifta
statement completely reversed many
points in the earlier ones.
The only witnesses known to have
been exam in ed since the investiga
tion took a sudden turn Sifnday, are
Hayes, Schneider. Leo Kaufman and
Pearl Bahmer. The girl and Kauf
man were believed to be the wit
nesses Beekman refers to when he
speaks about substantiating the
case, but their evidence has also
sfrown a tendency to conflict with
earlier statements and to contradict
itself.
And now, even though they have
seen fit to lodge Hayes in the Som
erset county jail, Prosecutor Beek
man and Prosecutor Strieker do not
appear sure they have the right
man.
Neither overlooks the possibility
that some pathological impulse, some
imaginative urge, such as an over
whelming desire to link his name
with a noted case, actuated Schnei
der to fabricate his weird story of
the double murder.

Clifford Hayes of New
Brunswick today pleaded not guilty
of having murdered Rev. Edward

Justice of the Peace Sutphen with

Authorities who announced with
a show of confidence upon Hayes
arrest yesterday that the Hail-Mills
mystery had been solved, evinced
less satisfaction with their case
today.
One of the investigators said an
other lead was being worked upon,
which, if verified, would "change
the entire complextion of the case.'
This lead,- he added, pointed away
from, young Hayes and appeared to
provide a motive that would explain
the mad slashing of Mrs. Mills' j
throat in addition to her bullet i
wounds. !
Raymond Schneider, upon whose,
accusation Hayes was arrested, st-'ll
was held today as a material wit
ness and was being questioned from
time to time in an effort to clear up
discrepancies in his story.
Schneider said Hayes had shot the
minister and the choir singer under
the apple tree on the old Phillips
farm, thinking the pair to be Pearl
Bahmer, 15, and her stepfather,
Nicholas Bahmer.
Hayes denied the story.
