PRINCE ETHEL FRITZ KINDLY
TURNS DOWN AN INTERVIEW

tai. He had stopped TO play with
mastiff on :ne lawn. and looked up
when we appeared. A white-jacketed
porter inquired our business. we IN
formed the porter that it was Prince
Eitels duty to elaborate on the appeal
he had made to King George. in which
he and his four royal brothers offered
to take their fathers place before the
court of justice.
His eX-highness caught the drift Of
our remarks, approached and saluted.
Turning to his secretary. who had APP
peared he said: Tell the gentlemen
/ am sorry to be unable to crafty
! their wishes, but / cannot receive
them
AS usual. our elaborate arguments
poured into the secretary's ear failed.
From the white-jacketed porter we
| learned that the royal household had
been without meat for three weeks,
that Prince Eitel had only one auto
| mobile and three horses-which was
an outrage-and that Prince Joachim
also was living at Potsdam. Eitel
| Fritz is now the head of the royal
| family in Germany. Ingenheim is still
as luxurious and well appointed resi-
oence as any in Potsdam. To the eyes
of visitors the town shows no evidence
of Revolutionary Germany"
Royal uniforms abound in the streets
and quiet and order are uppermost.
Even the street cars are running-a
rare oddly to one from Berlin, where
not a car has moved for six days. En-
tering and leaving the town one is
stopped several times by police and
soldiers who demand peep at pass
ports and other credentials.

HAIG DECLARES BRITISH
SOLDIERS WON THE WAR
Natural for Him to Say So to Own
Men. Secretary Baker
Comments.

A London dispatch of Wednesday,
date says that Field Marshal Haig.
upon receiving the freedom Of the city
at Newcastle. in his address deprecat-
ed what he considered a tendency to
minimize the British army's achieve
ments in the war.
ut is right" Field Marshal Haig is
quoted as saying. Ito speak of our al
lies, but it was the British army that
won the war; it was Britain that bore
the brunt Of the fighting in the last
two years. 1 hope every one Will
realize that fact and stick by the fell
lows who fought and suffered. and by
their dependents"
Commenting on the statement re-
ported to have been made by Sir
Douglas Haig with reference to the
work of the British army, the Secre-
tary of War said
Sir Douglas Haig was talking to
his own soldiers and to his own peo-
Pile just as all of US at home have our
own troops first in our minds. The
valor and endurance OF the British in
this war were great beyond praise.
The American soldier made his own
demonstration of his worth on Eu-
ropean battlefelds. and l have no
doubt Sir Douglas Haig and all other
observers will bear cheerful testi-
mony to his greatness

the remains of some French soldier

Democracy's Beauty in Idea.

The idea is essentially democratic
and is not without genuine poetic
beauty. In the American military
cemeteries. at Beleau Wood. scissors,
Fissmes and the Argonne. are con-
siderable number of wooden crosses
which simply bear the inscription
"Unidentiled American Soldier" Per
haps the American people would like
to have the remains of one of these
obscure heroes exhumed. taken to the
United States and buried under an
appropriate monument in Washington
or some other city. A more fitting
memorial to the courage and devotion
Of the common soldiers could hardly
be imagined.
