THE CROWN PRINCE Is
PEACEFUL

The crown prince Of Germany Is
now quoted in an elaborate interview
printed in Budapest to the effect that
Germany Is waGing q defensive war
fare. We never know how much belief
to give to publications coming from
Germany. Assuming that the inter
view is authentic. it may be believed
that it was put out for the purpose
OF influencing Hungarian sentiment.
Throughout the Acknowledgements en-
pire there have been mutterinGs OF dis
content The imperial policy OF tho
Prussiar tunkers is breaking down.
The dreams OF world conquest arc
passing away. To hold the Teutontc
alliance together It may be desirable to
create an impression that Germany at
no time sought conquest. but at all
times sought to defend her own ter
ritory-
However this may be, the tone OF the
crown princes interview is quite diff
ferent from the lingo proclamations
that have hitherto come from Berlin.
We have yet TO learn officially that
Germany does not intend to hold Sell
gum: that she does not intend to
maintain her grip upon the rich prov
inccs OF Russia and that she does not
seek the channel ports facing Great
Britain. Her statesmen and publicists
by the score have outlined some or all
Of these things as part OF the German
program Of conquest. They do not ac-
cord with any theory OF self defense
Now that Germany Is beginning to
crurrble we may expect campaign OF
German propaganda designed to secure
the best peace terms possible. but the
remuneration Of conquest at this late
day will not save Germany from the
retroution that is coming. The rob
Der who breaks into your house and
steals your valuablcs may not go IN
scathed. even II he Is compelled TO give
up his booty. Germany has committed
against civilization the gigantic crime
of centuries: and justice will not be
done until punishment has been i'm
posed fitting to the proportions and
character Of the crime.

State fair. This was assured when
good Thursday proved 4 fiZZle through
Jupiter Pluvius stepping in and sheo-

But he soon came face 10 face with 'he

the Michigan division of the reserves
for help. The city boy who was sent
out had soon fixed up all the dead
engines and broken-down machinery
about the place. Tho farmer now has
three boys at work and has asked for
more.
