EX-CROWN PRINCE < R LEAVES HOLLAND. 1 W Creates Something of a Stir and Sur- ] prise in Peace Conference Circles. -j i ji *V1 V Paris, June 26.?Frederick Wil- < liam Hohenzollern, the former Ger- 1 man crown prince, has escaped from ] Holland and made his way into Ger- 1 I many. , < ,News of the escape of the ex- < crown prince caused a considerable j Btir in peace conference circles. < While it is not felt he is a figure 1 around which the reactionaries and < monarchists woulr' -ather enthusias- s ; tically, neverthele'. nis act is regard- ,) > A/1 OC ovant nf considerable siemif- < f tu O0 CI1A WVWAV V- w r icance in view of the other German i ^ recalcitrancy. ! < I < ' J Hints have come from Germany 'within the last few days that the mili-. tary caste there would not be averse < to bringing about a military situation 1 Within the former empire that would l - xl ' , embarrass, the allies in putting xne ? peace treaty into effect, and it seems 1 not improbable that the move made i by the ex-crown prince is connected i with some snch plan. j J > The former crown ^prince made his ji way into Holland shortly after the, < ;:V signing of the armistice last Novem-I ber and was interned there by thej] ^L -AwmmimW folrincr nn His TPS- !

The ex-crown prince has given nu- 1 merous interviews to various corre- j spondents since his arrival in Holland ! and has in some instances complain- i ed of having been misquoted. As re- j] gards the Associated Press interview mentioned, however, the correspond-'j ent who obtained it holds and auto-j graph 3d letter from the ex-crown; prince in which the latter states that r I in thin interview he was Quoted cor-! | rectly in every particular. I Washington, June 26.?Confidentik a 1 reports that the former German ( crown prince and also probably thd Ik former emperor would attempt to re-' 9' enter Germany after the signing of J the peace treaty were received reI cently by government officials here. . I This became known today after an : Associated Press dispatch telling of j I the escape of the crown prince had ., F been received. I T Washington, June 26.?The formI er German crown prince was intern- ; ed by the Dutch government on the ' illand cf Wieringen and of he preserves his status as a soldier, the opinion of international law authori-| ties here is that the Netherlands gov- J erament may be held accountable by? the associated powers for his escape. J It was explained the rules of war! | ^ ! and neutrality require the govern-' - - . . i I ment of any nation that affords asylum to a fugitive soldier to intern I him for the period of the war ^nd L that in this instance that period tech- j nically had not elapsed. Officials Said one effect of the escape un doubtedly would be to cause auliv-' ities of Holland to renew precaut'c s to prevent the escape of former c .iperor. Because cf the bitterness mr fested by the extreme Socialist ?: > ment against the former royal fami y officials here were somewhat puzzle d by the action of the former crown prince. They assume, however, that tie either must have had some encouragement from his friends in Germany to believe that whatever government survived the present ro'fncQ +r> cnrrprHpr him iOlO VTVU1U X \^X UUW vv < WA.V.W. io the associated powers for trial under the terms of the. peace treaty should his name be on the prescribed list, or that a coup d' etat was in contemplation involving the conservitive elements and officers of the irmy who have strongly opposed signing of the peace treaty. New York, June 26.?The escape )f former Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany from Weirinjen was an action to be expected, according to James W. Gerard, formerly United States ambassador to Ger ?io-r?*T M* fiorn-rH sniH that, nersons liaujr 4TXA.* x* W? V- ?x familiar with German kultur and Prussianism had looked for some such move by one of the Hohenzoll?rns. Serious complications are possible Mr. Gerard pointed out, as a result )f the ex-crown prince's return to lis country. Any movement, howiver, to restore the family of the former German emperor to power nrould inevitably fail in the end, he "I have always considered the possibility of a plot to restore the Holenzollern dynasty from the moment ;he ex-kaiser and his son entered 5olland," Mr. Gerard said. "It is loubtful whether the ex-crown mnce would dare lead a forlorn lope back into Germany without expectation of a strong support from ;he old Prussian military caste. He ;ould count almost to a certainty up>n that support." BOLL WEEVILS ARE DOING MUCH HARM. Fuller. Finds Cotton Acreage Increased in Some States. Luther D. Fuller, agricultural field igent of the Southern Railway, isrnes Ihe following statemnt in regard ;o the boll weevil in the cotton ields: 5 "The mild winter and irequent showers of late spring and early summer have caused considerable activity of the boll weevil in the infested section. I have just returned from i trip through Alabama and Georgia, in a section that I have been engaged in with the boll weevil fight since it [irst entered, and in which I am acquainted and familiar. I visited a number of farms and fields which I have watched since Cr^weevil first entered, and ts^ked with a number of farmers and agricultural extension men who know conditions over Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. "In sections visited I found an increase of cotton acreage over last vear. and men who are in a position to know told me that this was generally true over that section and especially so in South Alabama, South Mississippi, South Georgia and the Mississippi delta. However, the weevils at this time are worse in most of the fields than they have ever been before on this date. In some fields I found many squares punctured, and some men reported 75 per cent, of the squares punctured in certain fields. This condition is unusual, and there is considerable anxiety in regard to the boll weevil, which has not existed to such an extent since it first entered and caused so much alarm. "Tw cnma #vF +Viaco aopfinriQ pvon i"f X&l OVillV VA viivwv vava.w V* VM ^ the cotton crop is a failure, very few men will be entirely ruined, because they have learned from experience that it is not safe to depend entirely on the cotton crop as a source of income. Everybody is hoping that the weather will be hot and dry, and that the cloudy, rainy days will soon disappear. If* the cloudy, misty weather which is prevailing in most of these sections continues the pros pects will be very poor for a good yield of cotton. "Some farmers are using a calcium arsenate powder to dust the cotton plant, which has been used by the government in an experimental way, but these men are generally using it as an experiment. The method of fight generally used is to pick up and burn the squares, and to give the cotton rapid cultivation with a sack tied on the singletree to brush weevils and infested squares on the ground in front of the plow. Many have adopted the system of working cotton until dinner time, and then doing other work, because the wee vils are more active in the forenoon. "I have been engaged in the boll weevil fight since it nrst entered Louisiana and I have -followed it closely throughout the South, but I have never heard farmers express themselves in an alarming way as j they do now. Generally on the first j appearance of the weevil in a section j people beeome alarmed, and then after a year or two they pay very little attention to it, but this year the cotton acreage is increased and the weevil is worse in most fields than it has ever been before at this date. I have heard some reports of farmers plowing up cotton, but I doubt the wisdom of it, because I have seen cases where men plowed up their cot ton, and afterwards it turned on dry and pretty good yields were made. { "In all probability the weevil will do some considerable damage in the lower part of South Carolina, where it first entered. Should the rainy weather keep up for two or three weeks, artd the weevil would be found very numerous like it was in [1916, there will be a1 wide advance up into the State, and especially if there should be a heavy wind blowing in a northerly direction during late summer or fall. However, if we should have a hot continued dry spell very little damage should be expected. The July rains will tell the tale." < TELEPHONE COMPANY DECLINES REQUEST. Principal Item Involves Recognition i of Union Acceptable to American Federation of Labor. j Atlanta, June 27.?After a series of conferences the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company j late today notified a committee of its striking employees that requests they:< ' made looking to adjustment of dif-1 ferences could not be granted.

A GREENVILL ETRAGEDY. f Man Shoots Two Neighbors; Then Surrenders. Greenville, June 26.?According to his own story, George S. Smith, jaged 44, shot both John and Pink ] Gosnell, his neighbors, on Callahan mountain about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, then jumped into the saddle on his horse without waiting to j ascertain the extent of their injuries and rode a distance of 25 miles to Greenville to surrender to the sheriff. Telephone messages received later in the night from the remote home of the mountaineer were to the effect that Pink Gosnell, aged 60, died almost instantly from his wounds, and that John Gosnell, aged 22, was in a very serious condition.
