Germany at Fault,
Must Admit Wrong,
Grand Duchess Says
Mother of Former Grown
Princess Pleads for Allies
to Save Her Native Russia
From Anarchy and Ruin

GENEVA, Dec. 15 (By The Assocat-
ed Press). - Germany made great
blunder in entering the war and should
admit that she was in the wrong, de-
clared the Grand Duchess Anastasie of
Mecklenburg- -Schwerin. mother of the
former German Crown Princess, in an
interview to-day.
The grand duchess, who is a Rus
sian and a cousin of the late Russian
Emperor, came to Geneva at the out
break of the war and is now about
to go to the Riviera for her health. She
had many relatives fighting against
each other on all fronts.
Says Wilhelm Is Down
The correspondent was the first
newspaper man she had talked with
since the beginning of the war. Re-
plying to question about the former
German Emperor anu the former
Grown Prince, she said pathetically:
"There is a splendid maxim in your
language, Don't hit man when he
is down. Let us observe this princi-
pie, this sporting principle, during our
conversation"
Asked why she had left Germany as
soon as that country began military
operations, the grand ducness replied:
Il could not remain in country which
had declared war on my own country
Russia. This war came as great
surprise to me and my son Frederick
tranz ~, Grand Duke of MecklenDurg-
SchWerln, who abdicated several weeks
ago, although we were in constant
touch with the royal families of Ger
many, Russia and Denmark. 1t has
been said that not more than twenty
persons in Germany understood what
a cruel mistake it was going to be- |
was one Of them. However, as never
meddled IN pohtlcs and never intended
to, l was not able to interfere
Says Germany Blundered
"But l continue to think that Ger
many made a great blunder in entering
this terrible struggle, not only from q
humane point of view, but also for
political and commercial reasons, as
her commerce was prosperous. Now
she has lost all. Germany should re-
create political, financial and artistic
nation by openly admitting, we acted
wrongly; we are sorry"
The grand duchess said she had no
news from her daughter, the former
Crown Princess, since September. ex-
c;ept through letter from her eldest
daughter, the Queen of Denmark, say
ing that both Of them were we'll.
Appeals for Russia
She made an appeal for help for the
country Of her birth, saying:
"If the Allies abandon Russia, Russia
is lost. The Allies do not seem to un-
derstand the situation clearly About
70 per cent of the Russians have re-
spect for only two things, God and the
Car; The peasants now say, we have
no Car; whom shall we obey?'
sit will take the population fifty
years to understand the meaning Of
the words republic and president The
Russian people want some one to wor-
ship, because it is their old custom,
their religion and their lives. Let the
Allies take note and help poor Rus
sia before it is to late"

WEEKLY WAR
NEWS DIGEST
Money Instead OF
Merchandise Should
Be Sent to Soldiers.

The original order rnat the APPROX
al OF a regimcntal or higher com
mander was necessary before pack
ages might be sent to members OF
the expeditionary forces has been
modified so officers with the rank OF
major and higher may approve ship
ments. The approval OF a company
commander is not sufficient.
The question OF the shipment OF
parcels to France first came to the
attention Of the War Department
when the commanding general OF the
expeditionary forces cabled that con
gestion of such articles had reached
such a point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. A
board appointed by the Secretary OF
War and the Postmaster General ex-
amined 5000 sacks of parcel-post
mail, and found that the articles be-
ing sent not only, in the main, were
absolutely unnecessary, but unde-
sirable The investigation showed that
the amount of such mail had reached
total of 100000 pounds week, and
was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according tC
a recent statement by the War De.
partment, will find they often can do d
greater service to soldiers by send
ing them money for the purchase OF
articles in France than by forward
ing the articles. Tobacco is now be
ing supplied as part OF the Army ra-
>.lons, ard merchandise OF nearly al
kinds may now be purchased ii
France through The hogc genera
store established by the Quartermas,

ed by retailers here.
