CROWN PRINCE EXPOSED
BY SERIES OF MESSAGES

BERLIN. Feb. "A series Of telc-
grams alleged to have been sent In the
early stages of the war by the then
German crown Prince Frederick to the
emperor, the imperial chancellor. Dr.
Won Bethmann- -Holiweg Count Ernst
Won Reventlow. editorial writer of the
Tagcs- -Zeitung, ana others, containine
criticisms of men and events, is pub
lished by the Norwaerts.
In February, 1915, the crown prince
is said by the newspaper to have
wired to the chancellor. expressing
disapproval Of an editorial in the
North German Gazette discussing the
war aims. He also expresses disgust
with Professor Hans Delbrueck of the
University of Berlin. and others
whom he designated as ''reclnse
idiots"
Tried His Patience
Delbrueck especially appears to have
tried sorely the patience Of the Inn
periaI heir, who, under date of De-
cember 20. 1914, wired his father as
follows:
professor Delbrueck of Berlin has
written an unheard-of article in the
Prussian Yearbook in which he dis
plays the most vulgar and most un-
patriotic sentiments. / urgently beg
you to remove this fellow from the
university If he has influential
friends in higher civilian positions
this circumstance does not alter the
case"
The Vorwaerts expresses the bellet
that Delbrueck, whom the paper des-
cribes as "Bethmanns Intellectual
a man who was pjous in his devotion
to the Hohenzollern's' will be sur
prised and amused when he learns Of
the proposed Christmas gift the crown
prince had in store for him five years
ago.
only One War Aim
In a message to Reventlow the
crown prince complimented the Pan
German editor for his rebuke to Edi-
tor zimmerman of the Lokal 9nzei-
ger. who, early in 1915. ventured to
discuss war aims. That same day the
HohenzoIiern scion telegraphed to
August Scherl, owner Of the Lokal An
zeiger, thus:
81 regret exceedingly that your edi-
tor Zimmerman, has been allowed to
write such nonsense. All Of us recog-
nize only one war aim; Down with
The Vorwaerts states that the crown
prince apparently inherited from his
sire not only the "gifht Of gab' but
,lso a fondness for telegraphing. The
paper concludes:
with such pleasantries this army

unused himself before the enemy"

Washington, Nov. 17.-Senatora
from the western and southern states
are considering urging legislative ac-

"A conference Of western senator's

The practice is to allow one repre-
sentative for each unit and each
major fraction thereof.
The Eeigel proposition would neces-
state increasing the size OF the House
by fifty members. There is no doubt
1t will be fought nthat ground, as
the House is already so numerous as
TO be unwieldy. 1t is the idea Of some
