"No power on earth will ever be able to convince our people that this war was not engineered solely and wholly with a view to crushing the German people their .government, their institutions and all they hold dear. As a result you will ilnd the Ger man people one grand unit, imbued with a magnificent spirit of self sac rifice." Interview Granted Alone. Tbe scene of tbe audience granted to me by the crown prince was a draw ing room in a small French village few. miles directly back, from the fighting line, which be was ualng as headquarters for himself and his staff. He entered, accompanied by Major von der Planltz, who, after presenting me, retired. The young commander of the Ger man forces was dressed simply in tbe gray-green khaki of his troops. with his uniform devoid of any decor ations except a small Insignia denot ing hia rank of lieutenant general, and th black and white ribbon of his re cently acquired Order of the Iron Cross. He wore no sword and toyed with a short swagger stick similar to those carried by British cavalry off! cers. , The conversation had been in prog ress but a short time before it became -clear to me that the . crown prince. like 99 per cent of the Germans I have met on the firing line or off from it, considered Great Britain re sponsible for the war. In the crown prince, however, the thing which impressed me most was the fact that, despite the intensity of his convictions, he displayed none of the intense hatred and bitterness toward the British which I have seen manifested constantly by people in all walks of life since the outbreak of the war. Prince Hot a zireeater. On the contrary, there was a note of regret and almost of Badness in bis voice as be discussed this phase of tbe situation. I quickly gained the impression, too, that the crown prince is by no means the man be has been pictured in Eng land and America. There is nothing of the fireeater, nothing uncompromis ing about him. He showed no signs of enjoying his military experiences or of delighting In conflict. It was obvious that the carnage he had seen already was deeply Imprinted on his naturally impressionistic mind, and he referred frequently to the losses and sufferings, not only of his own, but of the enemy's forces. He waa,, exceedingly generous at all times in praise of the enemy, ,aa he had come in contact with them. If he was ever possessed of a reck less, devil may care, care-free person ality, the last traces of it apparently have been removed by the work of the last few months. Can't Understand Americans. Early in our conversation the prince assumed the role of interviewer of me. He showed a keen interest in American sentiment toward the war, confessing himself unable to under stand why no more sympathy was manifested there for Germany. "No purpose can be served," he said, "by closing our eyes to the fact that a large part of the world is against us, but it surprises me that America, to which we . are bound by ties of friendship and of blood as to no other neutral country that Amer ica, where millions of our people have carried the German tongue and Ger man ideas of liberty and freedom, should be totally unable to put itself in our place. "I would not be frank if I did not admit that it has been a surprise to me that Americans have not seen more clearly Germany's position, entirely surrounded by jealous enemies and fighting for its existence; that they nave not a better understanding of tbe situation, which necessarily would mean a higher appreciation of the un exampled sacrifices and heroism of our people in making this gigantio struggle with no other object than the saving of the fatherland." Says British Control! Press. He attributed America's attitude al most wholly to Great Britain's con trol of the press, through its practical monopoly of the world's channels of communication. He admitted, too. that In the past Germany had failed to appreciate the important role played by the press In world politics and In ternational affairs. He made it clear also that Germans had learned a les son In this respect, and that they had learned it at the price of being branded in the eyes of neutral nations as a military menace to the world s peace. "I have faith." he continued, nn the American people s sense of Justice, once we can get to them the actual facts, the trutha back of this conflict. I know that up to this time It baa been Impossible for. them thoroughly to understand our situation, but l ne- lieve that when the truth is known to them, the fair mindedness and love of fair play which always characterize your countrymen win result in a revo lution of sentiment in our ravor. AakfPWlxat Americans Say. T have many friends in America. 1 believe I still have some there. And I also have many friends in England- or had. rather." He said this rather ruefully, with a smile and shake of the head. Then, turning abruptly and looking me in the eye, he said: "I want you to tell me exactly what is said about me in America." I hesitated, trying to fiaure Just how much frankness was compatible with discretion in discussing person alitlea with theji crown prince of the German empire. Apparently reading my thoughts, his highness laughed good tiaturedly ad prompted: I like frankness, i can stana we truth. Go ahead. I really want to know." -Well." I replied, "the fact is that your imperial highness baa been very generally represented, or misrepresent' ed, as one or tne KTiegsnetaer' a war agitator, leader of the war party, as the exponent extraordinary oz mili tarism." Km Been Called Thief. "Yes. I know," said the prince. evincing no surprise, "and the English cress says all that and much more. The JSngnsn papers nave stated that I am a thief and that I have persenanyxoDDea ana pmagea rrencn houses nsrwjucn we nave peen xorcea to make our headquarters. "Really t want you to tell me frankly is it possible for Intelligent neoDle In America or even inungiana. honestly to believe sucb tAings of me? Can lt-fee possible they believe me capable of stealing pictures, art treasures, of permittingthe looting of French homes V I reminded him that, in war time. sane Judgment often went by the hoard.. "I 'know,", expostulated the 'prince. "but it is simply incredible that peo ple could believe what the English papers have printed about me person ally and about our siae oi ine var.

This unity is the best answer to the charge with which Great Britain ! is endeavoring to terrify the world; that tbe war la being pushed by an ambitious military clique." The prince laughed when I told him that the Russian military, press bu reau had recently reported the kaiser nearly captured during the engage ment before "Warsaw. "I must tell my father about that, he exclaimed. "It will surely be news to him. He will enjoy it." Praise Prench Soldiers. Referring to the enemy, he said: "The French soldiers .are surpassed by none for bravery. '.They have fought splendidly. Individually, the French soldiers equal our own in in telligence, and In some thlnga they are more agile, but they are defensive fighters. They lack tbe dogged de termination or the staying power of our troops when they come to an of fensive. "Events have shown that French leadership was excellent. It has com manded our admiration." After the Interview had continued for half an hour we were interrupted by an officer who reported that the prince's staff , was mounted, and awaited him outside. First inviting me to dine with him that evening, his highness accordingly excused himself and. mounting, galloped away to the scene of the day's fighting. Interested la Portland. During dinner his highness re turned, in the course of the conversa tion, to America, mentioning his de sire to visit the country. "I had arrangements made to go there two years ago." he said, "bu. political objections prevented the trip. I bad determined again to visit it this year, and had planned a hunting trip with Ambassador Gerard, but of course the war spoiled that. Some time, however, i' Intend to make the trip. "I am especially interested in your big industrial centers, like Pittsburg and Chicago, and in your more beauti ful cities, like Detroit, Portland and San Francisco. "I am most anxious, too, to see one iVi H U V CnaL 'JJ Myejfy mwH- Jam of your baseball games. I and i on of your baseball -ertfwda. Ton know, f. have been Interested la sports, and fn the furtherance of them, with' especial consideration to the physical training of our young menu "Personally, it has been a big dis appointment to me than the war made Impossible the scheduled .Olympic, games in Berlin. A glance at the reading- table in the prince's room "nailed" the story that his highness reads only what Is clipped for him. On the table I saw the lead ing American, English, French and ; Italian papers and several numbers of Puck and Life. I asked bis highness what be thought of American humor and he re plied that Life was one of his favorite magazines because of the clearness of its political satire and wisdom and Its faculty of puncturing conceit. Uses Jack London's Books. Our conversation presently devel oped the fact that he was acquainted with Jack London's work. "He is one of my Tavorite American authors," said the prince, "and I would much like to meet him. I think his (-portrayal of nature and the breath of hia 'out of doors,' together with his forcefulneBS, gives his writings great power." I reminded the Pince that London -was a Socialist. "That wouldn't make me want any the less to know what kind of man writes such books," was the reply. The conversation, as this Illustrates, drifted freely, skipping from the war to sports, literature and human nature generally. It was impossible for me to get. however, any statement of a political nature for quotation. The general talk convinced me, neverthe less, that if this young man, who in all probability will one day rule the German empire, waa ever tbe hot headed,, boisterous youth he has been painted, the war has turned him Into a sober, earnest, thoughtful man, with a deep sense of responsibility. Re Is Modern Thinker. Despite his boyish appearance he does not look his 32 years the prince is thermos t modern up to date think er I have met in German officialdom. The keynote to his makeup Is his simplicity and lack of affectation, his faculty of impressing you with the idea that he is Just a natural human man among men, with a quiet dignity, no pose and a hearty, freely expressed dislike for pomp. There seems little doubt that his reputation for precedent breaking and disregard of traditions, especially if they have a tendency to hamper prog ress, is well earned. He is not a diplomat, and he knows and admits it- He gives the impres o You Can't Buy Belter Collec At Any Price sion of knowing his own limitations, but he has a straightforward manner and an Inclination to say Just what he thitiks, which make bim both trouble and friends. - " He has tbe unusual trait of being; able to hear an unpleasant truth with a good grace. " ' ' His greatest antipathy -Is for flat tery. - ; ; V;-: Opposes Bureaucracy. v -From his conversation I gathered that, be is strongly opposed to bureau' cracy and to everything that stands between the -people and their ruler.- , It also developed, from conversation with members of bis staff, .that it is almost impossible to induce him to sign the death warrant of a convictei spy or "franc tlreur." Recently, when the French had stormed tbe German trenches In the Argennes and were hurled back at one point with unusually heavy loss, the prince offered the enemy a truce to enable them to gather up their wounded. When I asked him about the incident be replied: "Yes, there were several hundred dead and wounded in front of our trenches. I simply couldn't stand it, thinking of those brave fellows badly wounded and lying there, many dying within a few yards of our doctors and nursea, with others trying to drag themselves, inch by inch, toward our lines or their own. Pelt Pity for Wounded. ' "I almost had a row about It with my chief of staff, who opposed me In the matter, saying the French would only report that we had asked a truce because we were defeated. "But I insisted - that a white flae fearer be sent to the French trenches with the offer to give them time to get their wounded or to allow us to get them. "They refused, with the result that hundreds of those wounded who might have been saved perished miserably. Some of them lived for three or four days Without food, water or medical attention. "The whole thing seemed to me an instance oz senseless, useless cruelty." xoung Officers Idolize Prince. As a matter of fact. I learned frnm other officers that the prince's chief of staff was right in his Judgment. The French did report that the Ger mans naa r sited a truce. I found that anion the staff nf fleers, mostly young men like himself. the prince is idolized. Older officers toia me that he had demonstrated un. usual capacity for strategic problems and the prediction was made that the JTST ? n P m ln tha ... v. ...u.ij k s'ib aeuertuB.
