The Princes sharpest criticism of I.udendorff is found in the books de- scription of the last phase of the war in October, 1918. and the "calamitous request for an armistice." Certainly 1t was calamitous. That also was the opinion of Prince Max von Baden. who did not wish to ask for an arrn- istice but for peace negotiations as long as the front could be main- tained. But who was 1t who so urg- ently demanded of Prince Max's Government that tho request for an armistice be sent of immediately be- cause the front could not be held for more than twenty-four hours?" It was Ludendorff, although he now tries to forget 1t as an article in the Sunday Pictorial of London, May ! and 14 shows when 1t attributes the whole blame to "a dagger thrust from behind" and to the German people who did not have sufficient moral stamina and endurance. The Princes word: "A liar is he who says that the fighting spirit on the front had given way" are directed toward Ludendorff, the same Ludendorff who Host his nerve" at that time and fed to Scandinavia.
 Returning to the political views ot the former Crown Prince, his profea sion of liberal views is poorly sub startiated. Although he maintains that he Is devoted to the English con- stitution and tells how he enjoyed lis- tening to the wise teachings of King Edward VIII. he does not seem to have learned Amuch. His whole pre- cepts might just as well have como from a Prussian noble except that the latter probably would have form ulated them more clearly and would not have tried to carry water on both shoulders by representing him. self as modern democrat"
 No, this Hohenzollern was not clever enough 10 act as instructor of the German people in time of need and the German people need not ex- pect enlightenment from him.

 Martigues abounds in a spacious local art color. The rambling old Hotel Chabas, fashioned from an ancient convent, whose onsT lhme chapel is now the stable where coun- try carts and mules and donkeys and automobiles on occasion are herded in disused shrines, has always been our favorite gathering place. In its garden, half flowers and half vege- tables, was brought the local butchers old white nag that served Hoffbaur for the model in his famous Luxembourg picture, "Cotn de Champs de Bdtdille."
 This same garden courtyard has been the battlefield of every Kind or artistic ammunition fired across the tables as we used to dine under the great grapevine pergola.

He always sat in real chair on rug, with his faithful old bonne crouched on a lowly stool beside him holding his black lined white umbrella over him and his work, clinging frantically to his easel when the "mistral," that frigid, er- ratio north wind of the Rhone valley, swept down like wolf on the artis-' tic fold.

prove his statement that before the war he was an advocate of the policy of approaching England.
 Especially remarkable Is the Grown Princes expression of high regard for Tirpitz. whom he repeat edly characterizes as really an ex- traordinarily great person--an orig inal, strong wilIed man." It was, however solely Tirpitz's rejection of the English proposals regarding an agreement with reference to fleet building that prevented an agree ment being reached with England. In spite of the adoption of Tirpitz's action through the blindness of the Foreign Office and Won Buelow's for eign policy. the author maintains that he did not agree with the opin- ion of Tirpitz that 1t was necessary to prepare for q decisive battle with England at sea. It Is perhaps pos- sible that he wants to keep the favor of this ambitious man to aid him in case he should return to the throne. Von Buelow, too. can be satisfied with his criticism, for the author expresses his regret that Von Buelow was not made Chancel- Tor in the summer of 1917.
 The Crown Princes attitude tow aid Ludendorff Is strange. At first he defends him against the criticism that he took more part in the prob- lens of domestic and foreign policies than he had a right to take as com- mander in chief of the army. He was forced to do so." says the au- thor. Otherwise nothing would have been accomplished in the way of solving the imminent problems" Later he criticizes Ludendorff indi- rectly, in his complaint that the man. ner of censoring the German press prevented the spreading of truth among the German people. Who other than the commander in chief was responsih for the censorship? Again, the Prince admits that he kept "dissuasive" papers from the men at the front. Tn the same man. ner of criticism he tells how unex- pected was Bulgaria's collapse for the chief command and accuses it of not having comprehended the situa- ton. He also speaks of Ludendorff's underestimation of the ability of the army to keep on fighting.

<<A oTHING Learned" might
 NJ we'll have been the title
 of "The Memoirs of Grown Prince Wilhelm" which is the latest addition to the autobiographies Of German and Austrian world war actors that have been flooding the market these last few years. Readers of the book will be thoroughly con- vinced that Germany's silent acqui- essence at the time of the abdication of William II. was the result of the belief that the Crown Prince would succeed to the throne.
 One need not be an admirer of William 1.-the author of this article never was one-to feel that there is . lack of good taste in the Princes book which may be accounted for in the fact that he is the son of his father. for 1t Is well known that the father also showed lack of this game quality. During all the years of his fateful government. from be- ginning to end. urbi ct orbi. he showed this sufficiently.
 Just as repulsive as the above is the Princes continued emphasis of his democracy. his little anecdotes of how he talked with common peo- ple." how he associated with his '1brave boys" on the field. It pro- duces an unpleasant effect, and will produce a more unpleasant effect on those who were really at the front when he speaks of the way he pressed forward to the front and on the field of battle." although no one ever heard of his going further toward the front than safe point behind the firing line. He need not be reproached for this, for in modern warfare the leader sits before table with his maps spread out, listening to the telephone in comfortable quarters far from the battlefield. while the human materier' out in the muddy and dirty trenches are starving and freezing and being shot to pieces. The man who really did risk his bones and in some cases did not bring them back whole-who was one of the heroes himself fought against the overwhelming forces with courage and endurance which aroused admiration among the enemy-may at least demand that, when he reads such a work, it con- tain little more respect for the truth. It Is scarcely probable that a reader of this type would be pleased with the patriarchal. affected and sentimental tone with which Mir. Rosner allows the Crown Prince to speak of This boys" The times have changed. but this the author does not seem to comprehend. Frederick the Great might have indulged in such an attitude. He was Frederick the Great And even the famous Napoleon, whom the Crown Prince Is supposed to have admired so much. spoke of his "grognards" in different tone.
 The same unpleasant impression is made when the author, discusses his role before the war. He underesti- mates too much the memory of his readers when he attempts to clear
