FOES CAUSED WAR,
 SAYS GROWN PRINCE
Declares Conflict Engineered
 ''to Crush Germany"

Undoubtedly this is the most stupid senseless and unnecessary war of mod ern times. It Is war not wanted bA Germany. can assure you. but it was forced on us, and the fact that we were so efficiently prepared to defend our selves is now being used as an argu ment to convince the world that we de sired conflict. .-.#
 In the above words Frederick VII liam. German crown prince, opened an interview with Karl H. von Wiegand. the first ever given to foreign news paper man The crown prince spoke in English. In part he said:
 1 am a soldier. and therefore cannot discuss politics. but 1t seems to me that this whole business, all this action that you see around here. is senseless. unneces- sary and uncalled for.
 But Germany was left no choice in the matter From the lowest to the highest we all know that we are fighting for our existence. know that soldiers of the oth- CT nations probably say and a great many of them probably think the same thing.
 Since we knew that the present war was to be forced on us 1t became our highest duty to anticipate the struggle by every necessary and possible preparation for the defense of the fatherland against the iron ring which our enemies have for years been carefully and steadily welding around us wherewith to crush us.
 No power on earth will ever be able to convince our people that this war was not engineered solely and wholly with view to crushing the German people. their gov. ernment. their institutions and all that they hold dear. As result you will find the German people are one grand unit. lmbued with a magnificent spirit of self sacrifice.
 In the conversation the prince made evident his deep interest in the sentl ment of America and his lack of under standing of the general attitude of our country.
 "There Is no Ise or no purpose to be served by our closing our eyes" he said. ito the fact that very large part of the world is against us. But 1t surprises me that America, tc which we are bound by ties of friendship and blood as to no other neutral country America. where millions of our people have gone and carried the German tongue and German ideas of liberty and freedom-should be so totally un. able to put themselves in our place."
 He attributed the attitude of Amer lea almost wholly to England's control of the press and the worlds channels of communication.

EAST CANAAN

THE STAFF OF LIFE.
 You can live without pictures
 You can live without books
 But men to be happy
 Can't live without cooks.
 So to earn money
 And make people gay
 Sold oat meal bread

 To the east did go
 Went out to the west
 Then straight to the north
 Without stopping to rest.
 To all homes I called
 By the spirit was led
 Until I felt sure
 All men were well fed.
 Then happy were they
 And happy was l
 And happy we'll stay
 Until the day when we die.
