Prince Henry Urges
Return to Monarchy
As Best for Germany

LONDON, Feb. 10 British Wireless
Service). - The Hamburg "Nachrich-
ten" which recently, in series of
articles, has been dealing with Ger
many's future, wrote to Prince Henry
of Prussia, brother of former EN-
peror William, in order to ascertain
his views on the subject.
Prince Henry replied, according to
the "Nachrichten," that Germany, in
order to reach her future goal must
re-establish her monarchy and her
economic life on the pre-war basis.
The empire, he added, should be
placed again under the old dynasty
and under the leadership of Prussia,
while the "costly parasitic Workmen's
and Soldiers Councils" should be
speedily abolished. He also advocated
the formation of we'll disciplined land
and sea forces "in the old style" and
representation of Jewish influence in
commerce, industry and politics.
The events since November distintly
showed, said Prince Henry that re-
turn TO a monarchy was the first CON
dition TO GermaWy becoming strong
and healthy again.
Then" he concluded, will the old
song, Deutschland Uber Allies become
true"
