The statement is made in support OF

of Florida, empowering the President

AMSTERDAM, September 4.-The
German idea of victory as defined by
the German crown prince in an inter
view published in the Budapest Az
Est is an intention "to hold our own
and not let ourselves be>yanquished. u
The crown prince is quoted as say
ing that this was clear to him the mo-
ment England entered the war.
The crown prince denied that he was
fire eater" and continued:
'1f Germany had wanted war we
should not have chosen this moment.
No moment could have been more un-
favorable for Germany"
In reply to the question as to how
he thought the end of the war would
come. he replied:
Through the enemy preceiving the
colossal stake which they are not
equal to winning. and that they can
not win as much as they are bound
to lose"

Extreme Disorganization.

There is every sign of extreme dis
organization among the enemy's
forces at vulnerable points in his
line. To the north Of Peronne, along
a front extending many kilometers,
troops of all kinds have been pro-
miscuously collected, and thirty bat
talions of this heterogeneous fighting
material have been thrown slovenly
into the breach. In front Of Cambria,
Col. Fabry points out in the Oui,
eleven divisions were piled up on a
with the situation at Cambria, thus:
"The arrival of British army at
the gates of Cambria. when every
thing was quiet in the trenches from
Nieuport to Belfort, was unwelcome
enough for the enemy, but now the
British are smashing the Hindenburg
line and advancing on Cambria, with
the enemy's armies elsewhere in re-

forced.

The Paris military critics today

now is forced to forego the use of
prepared artificial defenses and to
fall back on the natural obstacles

hope OF the German command in the
present state of disorganization
among its divisions.

natural defenses which may help him

is that the German stand will be

Discusses American Effort.
Regarding the American forces in
France the crown prince said:
"I've found that the majority don't
know what they are fighting for, but
we feel. of course. the effect of the
entry of the Americans. They have
sent over very much material and
now are sending very much human
material.

crown prince said. THE word vic
tory must not be understood to mean
that we want to annihilate the enemy,
but only that we mean to hold our
own and not let ourselves be van
quished. The moment England en-
tered the war that was clear to me
and I always emphasized it."
When the interviewer remarked that

II am aware of these accusations.

them is true?"
Says England Wanted War.
Reverting to the question of what
nation wanted the war. he declared
that 'it was clear that England would
take advantage of the opportunity"
"Belgium. after all, was only pre-

vened because German competition
was unbearable.

The Merchants Association Of New

association has urgently advised the
adoption Of this system for keeping rail-
road terminals and freight stations free
from denominations OF freight. thus pre-
venting congestion"
William Fellowes Morgan, president OF
the association. said:
The adoption OF the store door de-
livery plan will prove OF enormous value
to the shippers Of this city. II Is the
only method. in my opinion. by which
bad situation can be cured. Much
time and thought have been given to
this matter and the store door delivery
plan is the only practicable plan that
had suggested itself.
Like all other radical changes OF
method the adoption OF this plan will
disturb existing conditions and Il will
doubtless arouse complaint from receiv-
ers OF freight who have been accustomed

stock for storage purposes. No great
Improvement OF this kind can he put into

Army officers at the Mineola aviation
field believe that the ideal air fighter
has been found-the deaf mute. As
result Of tests made with recent grad
yates from the New York institution for
the Deaf and Dumb 1t is believed that
the War Department will soon authorize
their enrolment in the flying service
and that a new field OF war endeavor
will be opened to thousands of young
men ali over the country.
Curously enough IT has been dis
covered that deafness eliminates one OF
the most dangerous factors in the train
ing of military aviators. The man VINO
was born normal but who has lost his
hearing has no sense of motion, so 1t
was explained last night by MaJor Will
lam H. Van Tassell. assistant principal
OF he institution. Az a result he loses
the fear and the feeling OF dizziness
which a great altitude often causes in
the normal man.
"A number Of our graduates have
been Eied out In a.rplanes al Mineola
for SEVERAL Sundays past" said Major
Van Tassell. land the tests have been
so successful that 1t Is quite likely they
will be allowed to enlist. 1t will depend
upon how further experimentation,
which Is now in progress. turns out
No sense of Motion.

spects they are exactly AS keen az any
