Slav hopes for a complete victory over the Germnns In Russian Poland rested on the enormous reinforcements the czar Is running to that section. Experts stated the expectation was to crush the Germans completely south of Dock and In the Lodx region. The kaiser's troops were making desperate efforts today to cut their way to safety and despite the highly optimistic unofficial reports circulat ed, men In position to know the actual situation, acknowledged the Slav suc cesses were not yet final and decis ive. The official version was the Rus sian progress was "favorable."

(By courier and cable.) "Undoubtedly, this Is the atupldest, the most senseless, the most unneces sary war of modern time. It la a war Germany did not want, I can as sure you, but It was forced on us and the fact we were so effectually pre pared to defend ourselves Is now b Ing used as an argument to convince the world we desired the conflict." The above were the words by which Frederick William, crown prince of Germany, opened hla first interview ever given a foreign news paperman. They prefaced the first direct statement made to the presa by juiy member of German royal fam ily since the outbreak of the war, The crown prince greeted me cor dially, without the stiffness or cool reserve which might have been i pected. "I am a soldier, therefore I cannot dismiss politics," ho said, "but It seems to me this whole business, all this action you see around here, Is sense less, unnecessary and uncalled for. Hut Germany was left no choice In the matter. From the lowest to the hlKhest we nil know wo are fighting for our existence.

"The fact that we foresaw and as far as possible forestalled, this at tempt to crush us within this ring and were prepared to defend ourselves Is now being used as an argument to attempt to convince the world we not only wanted the conflict but were re sponsible for It. No power on earth will ever be ablo to convince our peo ple that this war was not engineered solely and wholly with a view to, crushing the German people, their jtovernment, their institutions and all they hold dear. As a result you will find the Gorman people one grand unit, Imbued with the magnificent spirit of self-sacrifice." The scene of the audience granted me by the crown prince was a draw ing room In a small French village a few miles directly back from the fir ing line' which he was using as head quarters for himself and his staff. 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 thAat Intense hatred nnd bitterness townrd the Rrltlsh which I had seen manifested constantly,by people In all walks of life since the outbreak of the wur.
