 In his book Berlin the capital of the Ge man Empire" the famous Danish critic, Geor has chapter called "Conservatsm, writt in 1881, 37 years ago. In this chapter Brand writes the following which sounds like prophe now being fulfilled:

And when that has happened Germany will lie here in the center of Europe, a fortress of cOnserva- atism, alone, isolated and hated by her neghbors. All around this land in Italy, in France, in Russia and in the Scandina- vian countries will find a generation who will have cosmopolitan ideals and will be working hard for their realization, but Germany will lie here old and defowered, armed to the teeth, armored and prepared with every scientific weapon for murder and defense.

At the Crown Princes Expense.
(New York World. )


 The German Crown Prince is convinced that the majority of Americans in France do not know what they fighting for. AS proof he describes in the Budapest Est the following incident: ''I asked American prisoner what they fight ing for and he answered, For Alsace, and to the question Where is Alsace? he replied, It's big lake ,"
 The English call that sort of thing "spoofing" |" On Broadway they call it kidding" But such dense ignorance puzzled the Crown Prince, and as the unconscious victim of irreverent American tower he fell for it hard" If he had searched further he might have found instances of the kind of amazing stupidity the part of American soldiers. It would probably have occurred to him that he was being guyed.
 The trouble is that the average American boy, in out of uniform. is disposed to regard royalty. especially of the all-highest Hohenzolern order, as sort of musca-comedy type. It does not ov9rawe him a Divine institution. It does not render him speeches with it's magnificent pretentiousness or reveal him his .insignifcance plain, free born American citizen. It is too solemn sham to treated seriously, and particularly in the august form of the German Crown Prince it is bound to pro yoke his sense of humor.
 It is to be hoped that the Kaiser's and heir will devote time to Investigating the lack of intelligence of the few American prisoners ip the Germans hands It would help to cheer them in their dreary days of captivity.
