the report about crown council be-
ing held in Berlin to decide on the
war / deny on my oath / was en-
joying a stay at watering place
when mobilization was ordered.
My father also. am sure, did not
desire war If Germany had sought
the best opportunity for making war
she would have chosen the period
either of the Boer War or the Russo
Japanese War.
From the beginning l was certain
that England would. enter the CON
f1lct This view was not shared by
Prince Henry and the other mem
bers of my family.
People have credited me with war
like intentions. But l was only a
soldier with a desire to see the army
kept thoroughly efficient, and | work
ed hard to bring this about. People
blame me with the failure at Verdun.
But refused twice to attack there
with the troops at my disposal. On
the third occasion my attack was
successful for the first three days,
but | was not properly supported.
Il thought that the Verdun attack
was mistake. We should have at
lacked to the eastward of Nerdun,
where there would have been great
probability of success"
The Crown Prince regarded the
general staff as responsible for nu
merous mistakes, including the at
tack in March, 1918, which he was or
dered to make, contrary to his own
view, and was compelled to obey. He
declared that Won Ludendorff was the
handspring of Germany's war-like ac-
tivities. while Won Hindenburg was a
mere figurehead.
Won Ludendorff and his staff. he
said, continually underestimate the
enemys forces and never believed
that Americas contribution of sol
diers was as great as it actually
proved to be.
The Crown Prince declared him
self to be an admirer of President
Wilson who he felt assured would
bring about peace of Justice for the
German people, and concluded:
ANY humiliation of a nation con-
tanning 100000 people would only
have feeling of revenge. Such ma
ton cannot be crushed"

! OOSTERLAND, Holland-"I have
not renounced anything and l have
not signed any document whatever, -
| said the German Grown Prince in the
course of an interview on the island
of Wieringen, where he is interned.
However," he continued, should
the German government decide to
form republic similar to the United
States r France, / shall be perfect
ly content to return to Germany as a
simple citizen, ready to do anything
to assist my country. | should even
be happy to work as a laborer in a
factory.
AT present everything appears
chaos in Germany, but / hope things
will right themselves.
Asked what in his opinion was the
turning-point of the war, he said, 81
was convinced early in October, 1914,
that we had lost the war" He con-
sidered the position hopeless after the
battle of the Marine, which would not
have been lost if the chiefs of the
General Staff had not fallen into a
state of indecision,
Il tried to persuade the general
staff to seek peace then, even at a
great sacrifice, going so far as to give
up Alsace-Lorraine, but l was told to

fine my activities to commanding my
armies. l have proof of this
What finally brought about the
downfall of the German military pow
er, he declared was revolution, in
duced by four years of food shortage
among the German civilians and the
troops in the rear.
This, together with the overwhelm-
ing numbers being gathered by the
Entente Powers since Americas en-
try into the war, had undermined the
confidence of the German fighting
forces, he said.

with whom / lived continuously, and
who, if l may say so, loved me,

went on. ''They had no rest, and
sometimes an entire division num-
bered only 500 rifles. These were OBJ
posed by fresh allied troops, among
whom were American divisions con-
tanning $4,000 men apiece"
Describing how he left the front,
the Prince declared: 81 was with my
group of armies after the Kaiser left
Germany.
Il asked the Berlin government
whether they desired me to retain my
command. They replied negatively
and | could not continue to lead ar
mics under orders of the Soldiers
and Workers Council.
Therefore, | came to Holland

bombing occurred, and | quit the ar

with the soldiers for so long.
Il have not been in Germany for
a year, and from the beginning of the
war | have taken only three or four

war, the Crown Prince asserted:

to made abroad, / never desired war,

1918 CROPS WORTH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-With a
total value of $12,272,412, 900, the ma
tons principal farm crops this year
were worth more, based on prices to
farmers December l than in any wear
in the history of American agricul-
ture. December crop estimates today
of the department of agriculture
showed this years total exceeds that
of the former record year, 1917, by
$614,380,000. There was also a mark
ed increase in acreage, the 355, 1895, 1872.
total exceeding that of last year by
100000 acres. These crop figures
were looked upon with satisfaction
by officials.
Most of the crops are larger than
the t1ye-year average and some of
them establish new records, particu-
larly spring wheat, barley, rye and to-
bacco. Corn, however, fell below the
five-year average. Today's estimates
gave the crop a total of 2,582,S14, 900
bushels. That is almost half a bill
lion bushels less than last years re-
cord crop.
The wheat crop is larger than the
five-year average and almost 3OO,-
100000 bushels larger than last years
crop but it is more than 100000 900
bushels smaller than the record crop
Of 1915
Almost all of the crops were worth
more this year because of the high
prices paid to producers. Corns val
ue was more than three and one-half
billion dollars, wheat almost two bill
lions, hay and cotton more than bill
lion and One-half and oats more than
billion.

Women who live near the canton
ments have found several ways Of max
ing themselves very helpful to the boys
stationed in their vicinity. So many or
the boys have left home for the first
time and so many Of them miss the
homemade bread, pies, cookies and
things that mother used to make.
Women who cannot give time away
from home to canteen work are max
ing themselves popular with the sol
der lads by baking for them. They
make sandwiches Of homemade bread
and boiled ham or other meats. and
all sorts of pies. OF course it Is nec-
essary to charge enough for them to
cover the expense both of the mate
rails and the fuel and those who have
tried the experiment have sold the
sandwiches for ten cents each and a
generous piece Of pie for the same
price. The boys will spend their
money for things to eat and consider
good, substantial homemade things a
special dispensation Of Providence.
Women who have tried this have won
their way into the hearts of many a
boy who is little hungry for his
mothers cooking and a little homesick

Some Of the Red Cross chapters are
making hospital slippers for con-
valescent soldiers Of scraps of linoleum
and wornout trousers Of heavy wool
cloth. 1t is remarkable the way In
which the war is teaching people how
to utilize things that used to go to
waste. The soles Of the slippers are
cut from the bits Of linoleum, the fig
ured side to be the outside. The
Jinoleum may be somewhat the worse
for wear and still be used for these
slipper soles. The uppers are cut
from the good parts Of worn trousers.
They are made in different sizes and
shapes. Directions for cutting them
can be obtained through the Red Cross
chapters. Soft insoles such as are
used for bedroom slippers or insoles
Of warm fabrics make them more COM
Portable. Our casualty lists are grow
ing large and English casualties are
much larger. Every woman will be
glad to volunteer to do work Of this
kind for the comfort Of the wounded

The last chapter in the story of win
ter millinery Is presented and the tale
concludes with all-fur hats or hats
that are made of fur in combination
with other things. Although shorter
than the story Of velvet or other fabric
hats, 1t is not so very brief as one
might suppose. The ingenuity of de-
signers lengthens it. But after fur
hats have been disposed of, one may
write "f1nis'-winter is over, so far as
new things in winter hats are con-
cerned. In January millinery begins
to be springlike; between season.
and "early spring" are the inspiration
Of millinery designers, who must then
be occupied with the demands of
southern tourists.
But only a few people journey
South, and those who remain in the
lands of snow face two or three
months of midwinter weather-hence
variety of fur hats is needed. They
are here In many shapes and com5ina-
tons. Turbans and small shapes pre-
dominate among them, but there are
large shapes with crowns of fur and
brims of velvet, or lace or malines
often with emplacements of fur on
them. In the smaller hats and tur-
bans, feather crowns with fur brims
and feather coronets on turbans with
fur crowns are new and beautiful
