SPADEATHBLOW,
PRINCE MAXSAYS
Tells German interviewer
That French Success Is
Near at Hand.
MAY TURN BoLsHEvIsT

One of the editors of the Neue Bad
isehe Landezeitung, OF Mannheim. got
an interview recently with Prince Max,
of Baden, some Of whose statements
are not without interest. especially
when taken In conjunction with nu-
merous similar statements which have
appeared In the German press during
the past year, hut more particularly
since spa" which show that Germany
feels itself TO be mistreated at the
hands OF the allies. who are accused
of bounding this broken country to its
death. Prince Max says:
since the peace of Versailles a death
sentence has hung over Germany. Gus
tom is dulling our realization OF our
danger but what Is now taking place
In the east and in the west should lead
the entire people to unite in nationai
concern. II must now soon come to n
decision whether or not we are to- con-
tinue to exist as a nation.
1.-THE Spa conference only served to
strengthen and renew the treaty OF
Versailles in letter and spirit. Our ar
guments were met with threats of fur
Their military occupation, and sigma
ture thus forced upon us by which we
agreed to promises the fulfilment of
something which cannot be assured by
our industrial organizations. Our gov
native was occupation now or occupa-
ton three. months hence. For France
is determined upon ultimate occupa-
tipn, and no longer fears England's OPP
position.
Occupation is the cornerstone of
Frances political structure. Its object
is not the assurance of its economic
needs, but the French know what they
have done to us and their bad con-
science gives them the fear that their
only safety lies in the crushing of Ger
many, and occupation seems to them
the best means of accomplishing this
end"
Prince Max said further that It had
never been more clear to him than IN
the days OF Spa that the enemy had
broken Germany body and soul"
"Our internal lack Of order and con-
troll only serves to strength the plans
France has made for military occupa-
tion. They believe that it would need
only a little push to bring our tottering
house tumbling down about our ears"
SAs to bolshevism, Prince Max said:

utilize such gases, particularly chlorine,
for cleaning and disinfacting clothes.
