CROWN PRINCE DEAD, RUMOR
Letter From Berlin Implies That
kaiser's Oldest Son Has
Been Slain.

London, Oct. 24.-The Nation
prints, without comment or explana-
tion, the following extract from
letter written by a woman in Berlin:
The people of England have exag-
gerated ideas Of what is going on In
Berlin. Everything is normal, except
on the day of the crown princes fun
eral, when we all turned out to see
It,"
In the first six weeks of the war
the German official reports referred
frequently to the crown prince. HIS
movements as commander of the Ger
man fifth army. operating just west
of the Argonne and toward Verdunr
were specially mentioned. When the
German retreat from the Mouse be-
gan, the crown prince, it was stated,
had headquarters at Vltry-Le-Fran-
co.'s. Subsequently. he withdrew to
Mount Faucon. Later it was stated
that he was leading an advance
against the fortress of Verdun.
For some cause, direct reference to
the crown prince was thereafter
avoided In the official communica-
tions given out in Berlin. For at
least four weeks personal mention OF
him has not occurred in the German
governments brief reports.

NOTIFIES UNITED STATES HE
HAS NO DESIGNS ON
SOUTH AMERICA.
WARS RESULT NOT TO AFFECT
Germany Attributes Rumors to En-
enies in Present War, Claiming
They Are Designed to Influ- y
enee Public Opinion.

Washington, ID. Count Berns-
torff, the German Ambassador to the
United States, announced that he had
formally communicated to the Wash
ington government the determination
OF Germany to respect the Monroe
doctrine. whatever the outcome of tho
European war.
After considerable search his note
to the state department was discov.
cred. Its text was not made public,
but its substance was communicated
to the press by Acting Secretary
Lansing, who said
"The German ambassador on Sep.
TENDER 3, last, in note to the de-
partment of state, stated that he was
instructed by his government TO deny
most emphatically the rumors to the
effect that Germany intends, in case
she comes out victorious in the pres
cnt war, to seek expansion in South
America"
Discussion OF the ambassadors
note was aroused by published
statement OF DIR. Dernberg, former
colonial secretary of Germany. which
called attention to the fact that his
government had taken occasion to
notify the United States formally OF
the untruth of reports as to its In
tentions in South America.
DR. Dernberg and German officials
here attributed these rumors to Ger
many's enemies in the present war,
believing they were designed to in
fuence public opinion in the United
States against Germany.

London From the official reports
issued. ii appears that the Germans,
finding II impossible TO advance along
the coast toward Dunkirk, owing to
the fire to which they were subjected
from the British and French warshipd
took q route a little more inland and
have succeeded in crossing the User
Canal which the Belgians have been
defending stubbornly for a week past,
10 the west of Dixmude.
They also have made progress to
the northeast Of Ypres and still are
in possession of Roulers, toward
which the allies were advancing last
week and at one time were reported
70 have captured The Germans say
they have taken 500 British prisoners
in the fighting in this neighborhood.
To add to the trials OF the troops
engaged in the desperate fighting a
short spell Of fine weather has given
place to another downpour of rain,
which will convert the low lands OF
Flanders into great lakes.
OF the battles on the center and
left wing the German report does not
speak, but the French declare they
are maintaining their positions in the
Mouse, and have destroyed three more
German batteries. From unofficial
sources It is learned that the French
have made some advance in the noun
tains along the Alsaee border.
Philip Gibbs, telegraphing to the
Daily Chronicle from Furnes, de-
scribes the fighting along the User
between Nieport and Dixmude, where
the Germans are now reported to have
forced a crossing, as the fercest in
all history, saying that Dixmude and
every village along the battle front
have been destroyed by flames and
the terrible German artillery. The
Germans suffered more than 1000 cas-.
ualties.

Plan Invasion Of ENGLAND.

The Hague, Oct. 20.-Germany, ac-
cording to information received here
from Berlin. is preparing to deal Great
Britain decisive blow. The scheme
is to disembark several army corps
somewhere in the south of England,
while the grand fleet is occupied with
fighting the German fleet in the North
sea.
German experts believe the plan will
be entirely successful
According to this information, as
soon as the last resistance OF the Bel.
gian army is disposed of there will
be a great movement Iof landsturm
troops from central Germany to Os-
tend and Zeebrugge, where they will
await an opportunity to cross to the
English shore and march on London,
where Zeppelins and Taubes will have
caused havoc and demoralized the
| population.
Looks for Great Sea Fight.
While this is taking place Admiral
Won Ingenohls fleet. now confined at
| Wilhelmshaven, will steam out into
the North sea for the great fight.
These German calculations rest on
the hypothesis that the south coast of
England will be left absolutely with
out protection, all of Admiral Sir
John Jellicos ships being engaged in
the great North sea battle.
The German newspapers, by way of
preparing public opinion for this great
stroke, publish extravagant dispatches
dilating on British nervousness and
the fear of unavoidable destruction by
