EX-CROWN FRINGE LEADING 4 SIMPLEI LIFE AS RECLUSE|
Frederick Would Like To Come To U. s. And Start
 Anew, Friends Say

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 22.-(By As sociated Press.)-Friends of Freder- ick Hohenzollern, at one time heir to the German throne, who have vis- ited the exile on the little island of Wieringen, in northern Holland, say that he would like to go to the United States and begin life afresh. He relaizes there is little chance of his being allowed to return to Ger many. and on that account he would like to try his fortunes in America.
 It is difficult to say how Freder- ick would get on in competition with other men, thing he has never ex- perienced. The life that would suit him best, his friends say, would be that of an American country gentle man. But the present indications are that he will never be anything for years to come other than an eX ile, something halfway between q tourist enjoying an island holiday and Napoleon on St. Helena.
 Frederick has been living at Wier- ingen for five years. He is now fl years old. His hair has turned com pletely grey since the war. His face is much fuller, but 1t is also more furrowed, and his forehead is more

 Not Thinking Deeply.
 His attitude toward life is simple. He Is not given to deep thinking. He takes things as they are without worrying over their ultimate con- cn al fwn from Illusions, particularly from the Illusions that fill the world in which his imperial father lives at Doorn.
 The former crown prince Is a con- Yinced monarchist. At the s6mo time he Is not embittered because Germany is a republic. He does not mediate the overthrow of the re- public. his friends aver. He accepts it With a shrug of the shoulders, al- though ne believes the monarchy would be better for the German people.
 The prince is liked by the fisher folk of Wieringen, and they never fall to greet him whenever he passes by. It often happens that when they catch particularly fine fish they bring it to his house, and he buys 1t from them. His library consists mainly of American and English fic- ton There is one bookcase with the inscription in capital letters, My Works" It holds his own three books and the translation of them in numerous languages. his book on big game hunting, his war book and his memoirs.
 The prince is not allowed to leave the island except In car and ac- companied by a Dutch officer. When he Is on the mainland he is not al- lowed to leave the automobile. He Is ( ( |, Avn sterdam or the Hague, and when he goes to see his father at Doorn he has to make long detour to avoid Amsterdam.

FLAGGING THE SHERIFF

NAGPUR, India, Sept. 22-(By As sociated Press.)-Because of their persistence in displaying the national flag of India, the local jail now shelters $40 Indians and the number is growing. The flag Is purposely carried in parades, with the know ledge that the marchers will be ap prehended.
