Organ of CrOWn Prince
Cites Need of Inde1nnitu
TO Weaken U.s., England

Berne, switzerland, May 25,-(Corres-
One of the popular wartime occupations
,f conservative and Pan-German news
oapers throughout the German empire
as shown by advices received here is to
sneculate on the size Of the indemnity
which Germany is expected 10 optaiH
from the entente allies. and to impress
mon their readers again and again why
enormous indemnities are going to be
an absolute necessity. The entry OF
america into the war has, If anything,
given impetus to such discussion, be-
cause the United States is SO obviously
able to pay a pretty price.
The Leipsic Neueste Nachrichten IS
the latest paper to take the matter up.
A recent article in that paper by Pro-
lessor Krueckmann, of Muenster, is the
more significant, since the journal is
considered the personal organ of the
German crown prince and frequently
publishes things directly inspired by
lim.
Professor Krueckmann, in the course
Of two columns and q half. presents a
aumber of arguments why Germany
must have an indemnity. The primary
reason. he argues, why an indemnity
must be procured is that one of Eng

can obtain an indemnity and thereby
3strenSthen itself at the same time that
u Weakens England and A,nericaa And
england, he argues, does plan a SECOND
war that will put the finishing touch to
Germany. He speaks of it as England,s
war OF revenge and warns his country
men to be prepaid for it.
ProIessor krueckmann takes sharp
issue with, for instance, Count Won
Hertling, Bavaria's premier, who has
declared against an indemnity because
the costs of the war to date form only
fractional part of Germany's national
wealth. The writer points out, as many
otnersshaye done since Hertling aston
lshed and shocked Germany with his
pronC.icamento that there are going
TO be bills for inyalids, PEN
slohs and to relatives of the hundreds
OF thousands who have died. Without
an Indemnity to fall back on Germany
is sping to have a terrible struggle.
Likewise, says he, an indemnity is
absolutely essential in the interest of
buileing up industries which shall give
enjoyment to all the returning SOL

promise to be c~rushingly heavy unless
