within the last few days that the mill
tary task there wo1ld not be adverse
to bringing about military situation
within the former empire that would
embarrass the allies In putting the
peace treaty into effect, and 1t SENS not
improbable that the move made by the
ex-crown prince IL connected with
some such plan.
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly, after the
! signiDg Of the armistice last November
and was inteffed there by the Dutch
government, taking up his residence
on the island of Wieringen, in the
Zuyder Zee.
Two days before the armistice was
signed decree issued by the German
imperial chancellor Prince Max Of
Baden. announcing the decision of the
former German emperor to abdicate
stated:
Imperial chancellor Will remain in
office until the questions connected
With the abdication Of the kaiser re-
nouncing by the crown prince Of the
throne Of the German empire and Of
Prussia, and the, settling Vp Of the
regency have been settled"
Denies Renouneins Throne.
This generally was accepted by the
public as official, announcement Of the
crown princes intention to renounce
his right.
Later, however, the crown prince
denied any such intention in an inter-
view, given to the Associated Press in
Holland on Dec. g. 1918. He said:
II have not renounced anything and
I have not signed any document what
ever. Ho~ever, should the German
government decide to form a a>republic
similar to the United States or France.
should be perfectly coptent to return
to Germany ready to do anything for
the good Of my country. I should even
be happy to work as a laborer in fac
tory
Notwithstanding this categorical
statement. the semi official Wolff Bu-
reau of Berlin three days later issued
what was said to be an exact sketch OF
the crown princes remuneration Of his
rights to the throne. This document
read
II renounce formally and definitely
all rights to the crown of Prussia and
the imperial crown which would have
fallen to me by the renunciation Of the
emporer king Or for other reasons.
Given by my authority and signed
by my hand. Done at Wieringen, Dec.
], 1918.

The ex-crown prince has given nu-
merous interviews in Holland and has
complained in some instanccg Of hav-
ing been misquoted. However, the AS
soc!ated Press correspondent learns an
autographed letter from the ex-crown
prince in which the latter states that
in his interview he was quoted correct
ly in every particular.

DENY SICKNESS
BATHING HERE
Doctors Say There Is Nothing
the Matter With Raritan
Water

Reports prevalent recently in the
city that the waters of both Raritan
river and bay are polluted with some
unknown noxious substances which
causes bathers to become infected and
break out with big red spots follow
ed by sickness. are wholly unfounded,
according to the doctors of Perth
Amboy, all of whom have been con
suited concerning the reports and who
declare that although they have heard
of such cases they themselves have
not been called to render medical as
sistance to any such here.
1t is true however, that some peo-
pie. ~frequenters of the water, have
been taken sick but II is thought that
this is no due to any impurities In
the water but to something which they
have eaten.
1t is also a known fact that hum
dreds of dead fish dot the shores or
the city but there is an adequate ex-
PLANTATION for this unusual occurrence,
provided by fishermen who are 40
quainted with pecularities of sea in
habitants. 1t is believed that there
Is such O vast quantity of blue fish in
these waters that they are extermi-
mating by their overwhelming num-
bers the smaller fish species by Bit
Ing them, which causes death. This is
only a theory.
Several persons who nave partaken
of sea food lately have been inter-
viewed and all declare that they have
noticed no i'll after effects. One of
them, a physician. ate some lobster
Sunday and remarked this morning
that he was feeling fine.
DIR. Charles S. Thompson, health
officer, has been conferred with re-
garding the alleged poison water"
He remarked that he knew for a fact
there were many dead fish in this
vicinity but the cause for it he knew
nothing of. He said however that
evidently something poisonous in the
water was killing the fish but could
not say whether the T. n. II. dumped
there caused it or not.
South Amboy has also been some
what concerned about the water scare
but those cases of sickness which at
first were thought to be due to i'm
purities in the water have been found
to originate from other causes. Two
children who have f%requented the
water have died, but the physicians
who handled the cases declare the
deaths due to blood poison and not
to poison water as was the opinion
at first. A canvass of the doctors OF
this city has been made and no one
under their care are suffering from
such disease. AS an explanation of
the hundreds or dead nSn DelnB Iounu
in the bay has been given the fact
that hundreds of moss bunkers" have
been hauled in the nets and the fish
factories would not handle all of them
so they have been put back in the
water.
This information will be welcome
news to the hundreds of people who
have not awaited themselves of the
eTFoTssntty TO get relief from the ex-
treme heat on account of the poison
water scare" All rumors were trac-
ed and nothing could be learned that
would indicate that the water was
unfit for bathing purposes. The
Board of Health has considered send
ing samples of the water for analysis
but have not done so yet and will
probably not take any action now
that the Doctors know what caused
the $5aths.
