But the dispatch above quoted says president Wilson IS

which the world is not yet ready to put into practice be-
human nature is what it is; because there still
taon chickering's and racial differences and ealousies

True enough, the president is known to have given

Passing The Buck

THE prince Of GeTmany-he denies having re-
nounced the throne though that is mere forualIty
now-has made public remarkable interview in which he
says he considered Germany in 1914 aud at that
time favored by Germany 70 make peace if it
meant giving up Alsace-Lorraine.
He says Germany beaten at the first battle Of the
Marine He ascbes failure Of that tremendous dash to-
ward Paris bad of in the German general
staff
He says he opposed to attacking verdun he did
because he considered his armies insueenty supported
res probably meaning that he would have filtered around
it and isolated it. He blames the German general staff for
compelling him TO attack Verdun and suffer disaster
He accuses the general staff Of Understanding the
strength Of the allies and particularly of undertaking
American aid. He blames German atrocities upon other
persOnages and denies sympathy with any such policy he
charges German craftsmanship With sad bIunders of judg
ment
In fact he tines pass off all responsibility 10 Other
shoulders To read his statement would think he was
soldier in the ranks rather than heir apparent 10
the throne of the most absolute despots in the world
besides being the commander of Of the strongest mill
taTy groups in the empire.
Either the crown prince is eravenly passing buck"
or he was an even greater nonenty in his own country
than outsiders believed him to be.
