Diplomatic Work of the First Winter
 in Berlin

During this first winter before the war I saw a great deal of the German crown prince as well as several of his brothers.
 1 cannot subscribe to the general opinion of the crown prince. 1 found him a most agreeable man a sharp observer and the possessor of intellect ual attainments of no mean order. He is undoubtedly popular Tn Germany, eXcelling in all sports a fearless rider and a good shot. He is ably seconded by the crown princess. The mother of the crown princess is a Russian grand duchess and her father was a duke of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin. She is a very beautiful woman, made popular by her affable manners. The one de feet of the crown prince has been his eagerness for war. But as he has characterized this war as the most stupid ever waged in history, perhaps he will be satisfied if he comes to he throne, with what all Germany Mas suffered in this conflict.
 The crown prince was very anxious before the war to visit the United States, and we had virtually arranged to make trip to Alaska in search Of some of the big game there, with stops at the principal cities of Amer ica.
 The second son of the kaiser, Prince Eitel Fritz, is considered by the Ger mans to have distinguished himself most in this war. He is given credit for great personal bravery
 Prince Adalbert, the sailor prince, is quite American in his manner. In February, 1914, the crown princes and Princes Eitel Fritz and Adelbert came to our embassy for a very small dance, to which were asked all the pretty American girls then in Berlin.
 It is never the custom to invite royal ties to an entertainment They invite themselves to a dance or a dinner. and the list of proposed guests is always submitted to them When a royalty arrives at the house, the host (and hostess, if the royalty be a woman) always waits at the front door and escorts the royalties upstairs.
 Allison Armour also gave dance at which the crown prince was present following dinner at the automobile club Armour has been a constant visitor to Germany for many years ( usually going in his yacht to Kie in summer and to Corfu, where the emperor goes, in winter. As he has never tried to. obtain anything from the emperor, he has become quite in- innate with him and with all the mem bers of the royal family

it came to light that the Prussian state railways were used as a means of dls- eliminating against the American oil. American oil came to Germany through the port of Hamburg, and the Galician and Rumanian oil through the frontier town of Oderberg. Taking a delivery point equally distant between Oder1 berg and Hamburg, the rate charged on oil from Hamburg to this point was twice as great as that charged for a similar quantity of oil from Oder berg.
 Fiqhtinq the German Oil Monopoly
 I took up this fighf on the line that the company must be compensated for
 all of it's property. that used in retail
 as well as wholesale business, and sec
 ond that it must be compensated for
 the good will of it's business, which
 it has built up through a number of
 years of expenditure of very large
 sums of money. Of course, where
 company has been in operation for
 years, and is continually advertising
 it's business, it's good will often is it's
 greatest asset, and has often been built
 up by the greatest expenditure of
 money For instance. in buying sue
 cessful newspaper, the value does not
 lie in the real estate, presses and so
 on. but in the good of the news
 paper, the result of years of work and expensive advertising.
 made no objection that the Ger
 man government did not have perfect right to create this monopoly and to put the American controlled company entirely out of the field, but insisted i upon fair compensation for all it. property and good Even a fair compensation for the property and good will would have started the gov e,nnent monopoly company with T large debt upon which it W1H!i hlNc been required to pay interest. Tie !: tcrt st, of course, would have been
 added to the cost of oil to the Ger man consumer. In my final con'cr- sation on the subject with Chancellor von Bethmann-H Hollweg he said You | don't mean to say thaI President Will | son and Secretary Bryan will do any l thing for the Standard Oil company" | 1 answered lTdI every OiiC III <hiiiSi | ica knew that the Standard Oil com
 pany had neither influence with nor | control over President Wilson and Sec
 retary Bryan, and that they both 1 could and would give the Standard | Oil company the same measure of
 protection which any American citizen | doing business abroad had a right to
 expect from his government" l also 1 said that I thought they had done ! enough for the Germans interested | in the Galician and Rumanian oil i fields when they had used the Prus- | sian state railways to give these oii | Producers an unfair advantage oNel | those importing American oil
