Dsier!and, Holland. Dec 3.-.I have not renounced anything and l have not signed any document whatever. "
 Frederick William Iocnzollerr, who sill claims the title of crown prince of Germany, thus answered the question CT the Associated Press in the course of lengthy convcrsa- tion today, which took place in the small cottage of the village pastor on he Island Of Wierineen. where nc Is interncd
 However. he continued, should the German government decide to form q republic similar to the Unit cd States or France, I shall 9e per fectly content to return to Germany as a simple citizen, ready 10 do any thing to assist my country. l should even be happy to work # a laboror in a factory
 At present everything appears chaos in Germany, but hope things VII right themselves"
 Asked what in his opinion. was the turning point or the war. he said.
 "I was convienced early in Octcb- cr. 19l4 that We had lost the war considered our position hopeless af- ter tho bnttic of the Niarne. which we should have not lost if the chiefs of our general staff had not suffer- cd case of nerves
 T tried to pursuade the general stair to seek peace then. even at great sacrifice, going so far as 70 eiye up Alsace-Lorraine Burt l was told to mind my own business and confine my activities to commanding my armies. l have proof of this"
 What finally brough about the downfall Of the German military power, he continued. was revolution induced by four years of hunger among Inc civilians and the troops iu the rear, together with the over- whelming superiority in numbers att tained by the entente powers since Americas entry into the war, which had undermined the confidence of the Germany fighting forces.
 My soldiers whom I loved and and with whom l lived continuously and who. if l may say so. loved me. fought with the utmost courage 10 the end, even when the odds were impossible 10 Withstand' the re- fugce prince went on, They had no rest and sometimes an entire divis- ion numbered only 60G rifles. These were opposed by fresh allied troops among whom were American diyis- ions containing 2I000 men apiece"
 Describing how he left the front. Frederick William declared.
 T was with my group of armies after the kaiser lett Germany | asked the Berln government whether they desired mo 10 retain my com mana They replied negatively and could net continue 10 lead armies under orders of the soldiers and workers council
 Therefore l came 10 Holland, without hindrancc. No shooting oi bombing occurred and quit the army with the greatest regret after having participated in the trench life with the soldiers for so long.
 "i have not been in Germany for n wear and from the beginning of the leaves"
 Speaking of the beginning of the war Frederick William asserted:

These lands are watered by numerous streams making it an ideal grazing country wmch, with considerable portion of the land cultivated for the growing of grain and forage crops, make possible vast increase in live stock production
 The lands above referred to belong to the Indians, either individually or as nation, and are under the control and supervision of the interior department of the federal government, being sold every few months al prices ranging from 5 per acre up, with long time payments thus enabling any individual to meet de- ferred payments through the sale of live stock or other farm products. This is made possible through the organization
 
 modern town site and ranch, compris- ing 5000 acres. located on the main line or the Frisco railroad, in the heart of lands to be sold. Much of this land is being placed under cultivation and mod ern 1arm and ranching buildings have been constructed in addition to saw mill, blaming mill and wood working plants to cut and prepare timber for the erection of buildings on farms as fast as they are taken on by the settler.
 There Is also complete commissary or store fully stocked with general mer- chandise, hotel to care for the incom- ing prospective land purchasers, an of- flee building, tenant houses, tram rail- ways, switches, stock pens and every- thing necessary for the work intended, the farm having been stocked with a great number of cattle hogs. sheen. poultry, etc, with which to start inc new settler out in the business of farm ing and stock raising.
