editor OF the Volkszeitung, on a trip
10 the western front. went to the
headquarters of the German crown
prince, with whom he had an inter-
view. He writes:
The crown prince las his head
quarters in a little chateau, which
much simpler and less pretentious
than the headquarters of other COM
manders in the Prussan army. We
were greeted and welcomed by the
officers of the staff, and after a few
minutes the crown prince himself
appeared. The Order Pour lie Merite
was the only decoration he wore. He
shook hands with us most cordially,
and invited us in to dinner, which
was about TO be served. The food
was simple, beginning with thick
potato soup and ending with some
sweets. The conversation at the table
c'as spirited, but nothing regarding
the war was touched upon.
After dinner all the guests re-
turned to the salon, and the crown
prince did most OF the entertaining
He was particularly interested in
hearing about Berlin. and questioned
us regarding life there in war time
Then he spoke Of the wonderful work

belief, considering that for twenty
nine months the soldiers had been
In the trenches under heavy fire
He told OF the many things he
had done to make the nard tasks OF
his men less onerous. and to give
them some recreation occasionally.
He spoke as only a soldier can speak
of the bravery of the enemy, and he
was nagnanimous IN his praise Of the
enemy's virtues. The French, he said,
deserved particular credit consider
ing the fact that they were living in
trenches all these long months whic4-

Wool Prices and Demands

Transactions in wool during the
past week have been a little larger
with prices showing a decidedly ris-
ms tendency. South American woods
have had the call, and the understand
ing is that much Of them have been
obtained for government require
ments. More sales also have been had
of Western wool. The conviction IS
growing that considerable morinn
wool from Australia will soon he re-
leased by Great Britain for the use
Of American manufacturers. There
can no longer be any pretense that
any Of this wool is likely TO find its
way to any of the central powers, and
there Is much more wool in Austria
liza than Great Britain can possibly
use. The Tn4ted Kingdom is reiees-
ing a certain quantity Of wool for Ca
madam manufacturers, but II is if~ds~
ing the transaction about with safs
guards against accumulation = II d
speculation. 1t is understood that the
American manufa cturers arc trying to
obtain AT least 100000 900 pounds of
the Australian wool. At the coming
auction sales in London opportunity
will be given to Americans 70 bid On
certain quantities Of wool But in
order to obtain the amount required
by manufacturers here, II will be ad-
visable that the material be brought
direct from Australia and not via Lon
don A curious circumstance in con-
nection with the proposed tariff of 10
per cent on wool imports ia that II
does not seem to appeal to the wool
growers Of the country any more than
it does to the manufacturers One OF
the latter went SO far as to suggest
that II would be rather to the interest
OF every one to offer q bounty on i'm
ports OF wool. The goods market is SO
dominated for the time being by the
demands for war purposes as to throw
in the shade civilian requirements--
