Glrard Knows Him*
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct 3.?'Prince
Maximillian of Baden, new German imI
perial chancellor, is a "regular human
being," according to former Ambassador
Girard. "The prince," Mr. -Girard j
cjoi/? 'Ma nf the >nVh Germans whn !
WUV VI. _ |
seems to be able to think like an ordi- j
nary human being. T saw him with
reference to the prisoner question in
which he took great interest.
"The putting forward of a man of =
Prince Maximilian's personality and .
views in the nosition of chancellor to I
my mind means a very definite at- \
tempt to seek peace and an abandonment
of the Pan-German policy.
"I always suspected tliat when they I
really sought peace, they would employ
either Prince (Maximilian or Dr. j!
Sol*, the German colonial minister j i
who was ,so opposed to the break with
America that when relations were ;
broken he took to his bed."
