 MAMMALIAN lution never called
 HARDEN the emperor any thing but Carl Hapsburg, Time alone will show whether these superficial tiles are as unimportant from the viewpoint of popular education as republicans here declare, I myself do not believe it. Those who over threw the monarchy which existed for half century should banish its ornaments and not allow celebration of the Al Highest's birthday" nor titles like Majesty. Imperial, Royal Highness. etc. Otherwise the develop ment of republican spirit will be difficult
 DiseppOints Hope
 I was hopeful that young Wilhelm. after 42 months in simple Wieringen, would have acquired a serious out look on life counteracting an erro- neous popular conception of him as a malicious bloekhead. The book or this 40-year- old man painfully dis- appoints this hope. Written with the help of skillfu1 literary man, 1t discloses no new important facts It glorifies the military monarchy al- most without measure. It represents all Hohenzollerns as models of moral and intellectual virtue and repeats all that Ludendorff. Hindenburg and company have said about the conspir- acy against Germany. It tries 10 awaken in the reader the thought that no human being ever expert enced such ingratitude as this hard working crown prince who foresaw everything In war and peace. lived only for his people and his soldiers. and now Is obliged to live in misery. This is what this Hohenzollern calls frank. honest representation or facts" His mother is saint, his father noble in the highest sense Of the word. brothers brave and inteilt- gent. army commanders. wonderful strategists and heroes. Not word of manly. just recognition of the enemy armies and leaders. Nowhere the least feeling for the suffering or the people whose land was the scene of the war and in whose unfortlled towns German bombs made deep wounds. On the contrary. the worst invective is used to prove the malice of the victors and the unexampled ba seness of the peace treaty which this prince calls criminal and tht birth of blind vindictiveness. seem ing to forget what terms his family ard generals had decided to impose on the enemy.
 Mere Reptition
 The political contents are mere reptition of what already has beer said thousand times in Germany defense and are not worth contra dieting. Ministers are scolded in the tones of a general yet they were ap- pointed by the Noble Kaiser" and during the war were only puppets Of n IA Is .l,t arf blamed because peace was not con ciuded at the right time, before the great disaster, as if peace would have been acceptable to Ludendorff or to nation taught to believe certain victory always was obtainable. The fault Is always put on others and hls own blunders nowhere are recogniz- ed. He even holds ministers and gem erals responsible for the flight to Holland of the kaiser, and war lord by divine right, By his own confes- sion the All Highest war lord. who had sent millions of Germans to the firing line, fled because he might be 1 in danger In much less danger, or course, than any rear trench soldlei who would have been shot as de serter if he had tried to flee. The l hysicallys courageous crown prihe' has so little moral courage that ne follows his fathers bad example flee 1 ing over the Dutch frontier by nign' and stopping to call an old militia man a "miserable devil" and to swear al him because he complained thai his officers were well fed while nc himself was starving. The prince l relates this proudly not realizing the ! incongrufty of the deserter, who haa i not suffered a moment from the war but dared to preach to the old haif' starved warrior. who though com 1 plaining, leastways was doing hl' duty tending cattle.
 EuIenberg Affair
 He also boasts of giving his fathel information about the conduct 0 Prince Gutenberg and other friends of the kaiser. This information wa taken from my articles. which point ed gently to avoid scandal, to thi' conduct. The crown prince knew mi inform3 tion was true and he now re- lates that the kaiser was almost I'm mediately convinced and thanked him tremendously Despite this the kaiser summoned ministers and law yers to save his friends and to jail me as a slanderer. He pulled me TOT years with lawsuits. declared the oaths Of Eulenberg and his friends were authentic testimony and sue ceeded in having me condemned was able to protest only when fai from the Berlin court atmosphere The crown prince was silent before this ahominable farce of justice. He well knew an innocent man was be- ing persecuted and was daily In danger of his life for doing what tariff. McCumber can't cut loose and strike out for home as some of his colleagues are threatening to dao. He is stuck and the longer he stays in Washington the more hay his oppon- erts are making in the sunshine of
