.PRUSS|AN PRINCE
BLAMES ENGLAND
Former Prince Henry
Charge Great Britain
With Starting War
By Associated Press

Berlin. August 3-The former Prince
Henry of Prussia, in letter to King
George. published today by the Ham
burg Nachrichten, says the truth about
the war may be had from the allied
statesmen and he suggests that if the
former German emperor is placed on
trial the statesmen also appear.
The letter asks King George lin the
name of Justice and his own interests"
to desist from seeking the extradition
and trial of the former German ruler.
The letter, which is signed your hum
BILE cousin, Henry" charges that Eng
land plotted Germanys commercial
downfall.
If the allies want the truth, the fog
ner prince says, the leading statesmen
of Great Britain and her allies should
also be brought before the tribunal
as primarily and urgently suspected
of guilt in the world war
The letter continues: Germany and
her brave people have been hit severe
~. but they are not yet dead. The
German spirit, which now seems dead,
still lives and will one day awaken TO
full consciousness of the disgrace and
shame which have been inflicted and
will one day demand a reckoning"
| Tho letter charges that 1t was sole
| ly the British government which for
years prepared for world war, in order
| 20 eliminate Germany as a troublesome
competitor from the worlds markets.
Prince Henry continues:
Let me only remind your majesty
of your meeting with M. Sazanoff
(then Russian minister of foreign af-
fairs) in September, 1912, at Balmcral
and the utterances of your majesty on
| that occasion, which leave no doubt Of
| the fate planned for the German war
and merchant navy"
| Germany was overcome, Prince Hen
| ry says, not by the arms of the en-
tente. but by "a silver bullet" which
/! lodged in the back of the German peo-
ple. The letter refers to the hunger
blockade which failed as little in its
effects upon the German people as
| did formerly British ministers against
/ the women and children of Beers.
