Former Crown Prince
Is Writinu Memoirs

The former kaiser is chopping
trees after the manner of a Glad
stone or a Roosevelt, while not to be
outdone the former crown price is
keeping himself in physical trim by
working in the village blacksmith
shop on his island home of Wierin-
gen.
This is not the only pastime of
the crown prince, as he also sketches
and takes long walks and mingles
quite freely with the fisher folk Of
the island
The main occupation of the crown
prince is writing. Like his father,
he is writing his memoirs. Nearly
all the former German leaders, in
Guiding Ludendorff, Won Tirpitz, Won
Hindenberg and Won Falkenhayn,
former chief of staff, are also en-
gagged in writing their accounts of
the great events of the war and
leading up to it. These will make
interesting reading some day, and
it is likely that the memoirs OF the
former crown prince will not be the
least interesting. Frederick Will
liam is suffering from sense of in
jury and this circumstance favors
the flow of criticism and the reVela-
tiOn of secrets

You've all heard reports like these:
The war DEPARTMENTS selling mo
tor cars it doesn't need for $l00
apiece"
"You can buy an airplane from the
government for 500 now"
The army is selling army blan-
kets for little or nothing"
They're all false.
1t is true that the army has a lot
of war material to sell, but it isn't
letting go of it at such heavy loss.
Nor is it true that thousands of
dollars worth of ammunition and high
explosives have been destroyed. The
only ammunition the army has de-
stroyed is captured German shells
which were piled on the deserted bat
tlefields of France and blown up.
One modern weapon which has been
destroyed is poison gas. Tons of 1t
have been dropped into the ocean,
for the war department believes that
never again will poison gas be used
in warfare The United States, at
least will not be the first to use it
again.
But nearly everything else owned
by the war department is being put
in storage or sold at market prices.
TINE Turned to Reclamation work
Recently $1O,O0O,000 worth of INT
which was on hand in various eastern
munition plants was turned over to
reclamation work, Alaska engineering
work. the national parks and other
places where blasting is necessary.
The war department had planned to
send this dangerous accumulation OF
explosives into the sea after the pois-
on gas, but Secretary Lane rescued
it and said it would save his depart
ment lot of money it has been
spending for dynamite. Q
For the disposal Of other war ma
terials, such as lumber, steel copper,
motor cars and chemicals the war
department. has organized a sales di-
vision, to which everything no long
or needed for the army is being turn
ed over.
None Of this material will be sold
at bargain prices, because to do so
would disrupt the commercial mar
kets and raise a howl from industry.
The sales division has reached an
agreement with the copper producers

War Every Two Years

There is a war somewhere on the
earth, on an average, every two
years. That is the record of history
which confronts the peace confer
ence when it turns aside from the
urgent business of debating a peace
to Germany, to think about contriv-
ing some plan that will make war
impossible hereafter.
A casual glance down the list of
wars since Napoleon's time. indeed,
might suggest to some minds the
question if it would be really wise
to set up an agency that would
guarantee" the world against war
assuming the possibility of secur-
ing any such guarantee.
Il The apparent fact is that wars
have sometimes accomplished a
great deal of good for the world.
They have settled important moral
questions perhaps about as often as
they have the question of which
side is stronger. There are many
indeed who believe it is we'll that
the greatest of all wars, through
which the world has just passed,
was not postponed indefinitely, in
view of the fact that Germany was
what If
