CARES NOT FOR DISPLAY

by Karl H. Won Wiegend, Berlin
correspondent Of the United Press.l
BERLIN. June 6.-That the future
kais ar Of Germany Is a frank and
open young man Of strong personality,
wholly without affectation or conceit,
democratic in his ways, straight for
ward in his manners, simple in his
tastes. boyishly fond of sport and
harmless amusements as relaxation
from work and duty-a man who in
sists upon being himself and not
modelling his personality after any
one. less. man who -dislikes express
sive pomp and will not attempt to be
master and judge in every sphere of
activity; Is the intimate pen character
sketch drawn in new book by DR..
Paul Liman entitled THE Crown
Prince"
DR.. Liman is the Berlin correspon-
dent of the Leipsig Neuste Nachrich-
ten. an important and influential Pam
German paper of the category de-
scribed by Professor Hans L. Del
brueck the famous historian and poll
teal writer, as being more danger
GUS to Germany than the entire social
list party" It was this paper that
created sensation some time ago
by making public the fact that the
crown prince had written letter to
the chancellor opposing the accession
of his brother-in-law, Duke Ernst
August Of Cumberland to the Bruins
wick throne without q specific clear
RECOMMENDATION OF all claims upon the
old kingdom of Hanover. The crown
prince had nothing to do with making
public the letter and the author de-
clares this book was written without
the knowledge Of the crown prince.
The writer says he intends thu book
as defense and check against the
fnnumerable misconceptions, errone-
Gus impressions and wholly mistaken
views of the character of the crown
prince, created by stories and tales at
home and abroad. He calls it an
earnest attempt to draw an outlined
sketch of figure that certainly will
develop itself further and the filing
in Of which can only be done by the
future He says the book "brings
no disclosures and still less that it is
piquant."
Liman is the one newspaper man
who has had access to the crown
prince, who has had the opportunity
to study him and who the crown
prince has upon occasions referred to
as his friend. Throughout the entire
book he lets it appear that in the
traits and nature, in ways and man
ners. and in their entire being, kaiser
and future kaiser are the very oppo-
site Of one another There is nothing
of the mystical in the crown prince.
He does not place the kaiser's weight
and pride upon rank. He doesn't be-
lieve he has been especially delegated
by God to be the future ruler of Ger
many.
"The oldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm
II has impressed his being and per-
sonality deeper and sharper upon the
public mind than any prince of the
House Of Hohenzollern ever did be-
fore him." says Liman. Not in that
passive way which always furnishes
the bards of court life with the same |
stun and same forms for songs OF
praise which fill the newspapers with
stories OF 'condenscension, good
heart sdness, winning ways and
charitableness' Of all princes which
