"but 1 Just hate to have to 20 to

He asked me IL had seen any mem
Der Of the court lately, and told hin
that the kalser's court chamberlain
Count von Eulenburg, had been to Sc,
me the previous day.
"Tm not surprised he has to 20 {,
the dentist; he eats too much I" tn,
! crown prince declared. "He can't ex
pect to have good teeth; he's always
eating. As for myself, eat very little
j want to remain thin. hate fat peo
pie"
The crown prince and I did not gel
along very well Mt that time. Apart
from the fact he was such a physical
coward that II was almost impossible
to work on him satisfactorily, he
seemed to have no idea of the meaning
of an appointment.
He would agree to be at my office
at $3.50 and 1 would plan my day ac-
cordingly. At about ten he was apt
to call me up to say he would be on
hand at eleven, and he would actually
arrive about twelve. This happened
several times, and I told him that I
couldn't have my work broken up in
that way.
Although I did not see the crown
prince again professionally until 1915,
the crown princess came to me In
1913, and from that time on paid me
more or less regular visits. She was
woman Of great charm and intelli-
gence. and although she was more
Russian than German In her ideas, and
for some time after her marriage was
rather generally criticized on that &C.
count, she soon became extremely
popular and today is very much ad-
mlred by the German people.
She was one Of the most democratic
and informal of my royal patients. I
remember one day when was work
Ing on Princess Hatfield, we heard a
loud "Hoo-h6o' from the anteroom.
The crown princess Ind heard that
the Princess Hatfield, who was n
great chum Of hers, was In my Office
and had followed her into my place
unannounccd.
The Princess Hatfield, may men
ton, was an extremely intelligent and
beautiful young woman, and because
OF her intimacy with the crown prln-
cess. took keen interest in the
views she expressed from time TO time.
Her mother was an American.
When she called on me on one occa-
sion after the war had started, / re-
peated to her the gist of n conversa-
ton had had few days before with
her father, Excellenz Won Stumm. He
Informed me that he had been trying
TO convince all Germans of influence
that II would be serious mistake to
annex Belgium.
''From morning to night have been
trying TO teach our people some sense"
he had declared. "wlth the history Of
Poland and Alsace-Lorrnlne In mind,
why should we take more responsible
tiles on our shoulders by retaining
Belgium The Lord only knows We
have our hands full as It is. ! don't
u
many can possibly win this warl'
'Your father seemed to be very pes
slmistic regarding the outlook" told
her.
"The sad thing about IT," she re-
piled, SIS that father Is always right
l never knew him TO make u mistake
In judgment"
When the crown prince called 10 see
me again l was surprised to find a
considerable change In his general up
pearancc. Although, OF course. he was
ten years older. he had aged more
than j would have expected. There
were lines on his face which made him
look older than his thlrty-three years.
In the outer world he was generally
believed 10 be one OF the leading splr-
It's of the military party In Germany,
but among his own people he was not
credited with sufficient ability or in
luence 10 be much OF factor. In
decd, within the past year he had been
criticized rather severely In army cir
clcs for his Indifference To the crisis
In which his country was involved and
for not taking the war seriously
enough, aud from al ! was able To
observe OF him during the visits he
paid me after the resumption OF our
relations, these criticisms We're well
founded. The newspapers, however.
which were naturally inspired, always |
brought his name to the front when
ever the army he was accredited to |
made any successful showing just as
they did in the case OF the kaiser.
During his various visits to me !
tried TO draw him out little on diff |
ferent aspects of the international sit |
uation, but the ideas he expressed |
were not OF much moment.
'The allies think we will run short |
of man-power," he said ON one occa-
sion, ''but we've got 100000 youths
growing up and Wen soon be able TO /
put them In the war. There's no dan
ger of our running short of men, but,
really, / wish II were Gil over. This |
war Is lot of damned nonsense, you
knOww He talked as If the two mil
lion growlng-up youths of Germany
were created for the Hohenzollerns TO
use as they pleased.
Another remark he made which In
dicated how sadly he misconstrued the
