INTERVIEW WITH FORMER GERMAN CROWN PRINCE Baltimore, Md., Oct. 10—Regret that that he cannot go back to Germany to aid in reuniting his country is the principal emotion of = the ~ former crown prince in exile at Wieringen, Holland, _according to an authorized interview with him to be printed to- morrow morning by the Baltimore 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 Burope for ‘several months. Of the crown prince Mr. Mencken says: “Among all the Germans I have talked, to during the past six weeks, ranging from high officials to newspaper edi- tors, and from university professors to business men, I can recall none whose views of paSt and present events coniain less of illusion. He discusses the awar objectively . with great . shrewdness and accepts his present position uncomplainingly. It is uncomfortable, but so is every other German position. “‘Germany,' he said, ‘faces stupend- ous tasks and almost intolerable bur- dens and it is naturally hard for any German to have to stand by without taking a hand. I sincerely wish 1 could be more actively employed, but certainly have no desire to complicate the present situation by raising fac- tional questions. It would be absurd, of course, to say dynastic considera tions do not interest me,, but they assuredly take second plibe in my thoughts. In such days as these, 1 am, first of all, a German citizen and soldier. As such my duty is precisely that of every other good German—to subordinate personal fortunes and cven personal opinions to the com- mon good. What we need today, above all, is national unity. A thor- oughly united Germany would be un- breakable.” “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 humorous Interest and was apparently delighted with several I contributed from the archives of the Creel press bureau. “‘Such nonsensical libels, he said, ‘do not annoy me half as much as infield that will be | Ledgue ‘against the Thread Makers. | tress. “ "The lieve it can times. This work do ‘money. the rest. his credit. their authors probably think. -Abuse of that sort goes with the trade I was born to. If Germany had won a sweeping .victory I'd. have got as crown prince far more than my fair share of the glory and applause. In defeat I receive, perhaps, rather more blame and execration, both at home and abroad, ut such are fortunes of war for commanding officers. I doubt that any sane ‘American seri6usly believes today 1 was guilty of the fantastic crimes laid to me during the war. That madness must necessarily pass. Meanwhile it gives.me no concern.’” Mr. Mencken said that “like most other Germans, the prince believes In Robinson,” the Wesleyan eleven seems to have another “Ted” Boote, who /more than lived up to the con- notation of his name as far as field in_the ct raiser between 'S, Mississippl and the Univers- Fwoughe, Qown-after . 25- [ity of Southern California.
