STILL CLAIMS TITLE.
Crown Prince Declares He Has Not
Renounced Anything.
Oosterland, Holland, Dec. 3.?"I
have not renounced anything and I
have not signed any document whatever."
Frederick William Hohenzollern, i
who still claims the title of crown
prince of Germany, thus answered
the question of the Associated Press
in the course of a lengthy conversation
today, which took place in the
small cottage of the village pastor
on the island of Wieringen, where he
is interned.
"However," he continued, "should
the German government decide to
form a republic similar to the United
States or France, I shall be perfectly
content to return to Germany
as a simple citizen ready to do any-'
thing to assist my country. "I should
even be happy to work as a laborer
in a factory.
"At present everything appears
chaos in Germany, but I hope things
will right themselves."
Asked what in his opinion was the
turning point of the war, he said:
"I was convinced early in October,
1914, that we had lost the war.
I" considered our position hopeless
after the battle of the Marne, which
we should not have lost if the chiefs
of our general staff had not suffered
a case of nerves.
Wanted to Seek Peace.
V "I tried to persuade the general
staff to seek peace then, even at a
great sacrifice, going so far as to
aive ud Alsace-Lorraine. But I was
told to mind my own business and
confine my activities to commanding
my armies. I have proof of this."
What finally brought about the
downfall of the German military
power, he declares, was revolution
induced by four years of hunger
among the civilians and the trpops
in the rear, together with the over'
whelming superiority in numbers, attained
by the entente powers since
\, America's entrance into the war,
^v^which had undermined the confidence
pf^the German fighting forces.
'T&jrsoldiers, whom I loved and
with 1 lived continuously and
wh.0, if r^may say so, loved me,
fought with" the utmost courage to
the end, even when the odds were
impossible to .withstand," the refugee
prince went on. "They^had no
rest, and sometimes an entire division
numbered only 600 rifles. These
were opposed by fresh allied'troops,
among whom were American divisions
containing 27,000 men apiece."
Describing how he left the front,
/
Frederick William declared:
.
"I was with my group of armies
after the kaiser left Germany. I
asked the Berlin government whether
they desired me to retain my command.
They replied negatively, and
I could notv continue to lead armies
under orders of the soldiers' and
workmen's council.
"Therefore, I came to Holland,
without hindrance. No shooting or
bombing occurred and I quit the army
with the greatest regret after
having participated in the trench
life with the soldiers for so long.
"I have not been in Germany for
a year, and from the beginning of
the war I have taken only three |pr
four fortnight leaves."
Speaking of the beginning of the
war Frederic William asserted:
"Contrary to all statements hitherto
made abroad, I never desired war,
and thought the moment quite inopportune.
I was never consulted
and the report about a crown council
being held in Berlin to decide on
the war I deny on my oath. I was
enjoying a stay at a watering place
when mobilization was ordered.
Did Not J>esire War.
"My father, also, I am sure, did
not desire war.' If Germany had
sought the best opportunity for making
war she would have chosen the
period either of the Boer War or
the Russo-Japenese War.
"From the beginning I was certain
that England would enter the
conflict. This view was not shared
by Prince Henry add the other, members
of my family.
"People have credited me with
warlike intentions. But I was only a
soldier with a desire to see the army
kept thoroughly efficient, and I
worked hard to bring this about.
People blame me with the failure at
Verdun. But I refused twice to attack
there with the troops at my dis?
posal. On the third occasion my
attack was successful for the first
three days, but I was not properly
supported.
"1 thought the Verdun attack was
a mistake.' We should have attack
ed to the eastward of Verdun, where
there would have been great probability
of success."
The ex-crown prince was rather;
bitter regarding the work of the i
general staff, which he asserted was i
* responsible for numerous mistakes, i
including the attack in March, 1918,
which he was ordered to make, contrary
to his own view, and was compelled'
to obey. He declared that
Ludendorff was the mainspring of
Germany's warlike activities, while
von Hindenburg was a mere figurehead.
Ludendorff and his staff continually
underestimated the enemy's
forces, he declared, and never believed
that America's contribution
of soldiers was as great as it actually
proved to be.
Frederick William declared himself
to be an admirer of President
Wilson, who he felt assured would
bring about a peace of justice for
the German people, and concluded:
"Any humiliation of a nation containing
70,000,000 of people would
only leave a feeling of revenge.
Such a nation cannot be crushed."
Since the above interview the
ornvm nrince has formally signed a
decree of abdication, and has renounced
his claim to the German
tfirone.

NOT AN ISOLATEO CASE
t
Many Similar Cases in Bamberg and
Vicinity.
This Bamberg woman's story given
here is not an isolated case by any
means; week after week, year after
year, our neighbors are telling similar
good news.
Mrs. C. E. Simmons, New Bridge
St., Bamberg, says: "Several years
ago my kidneys were in poor, weak
and unhealthy condition for a long
time. I suffered awfully. My back
hurt me so badly that I would sometimes
have to press my hands Upon i
it to ease the pain. The action ot
my kidneys wasn't right and my
hands and ankles often swelled. 1
always felt tired out, depressed and
miserable and ached all over my
body. This Is the way I was suffering
when I started using I^oan'a
Kidney PiMs. I got them from Mact's
Drug Store and they brought me relief
from?the start. In a short while,
they rid me of all this trouble. Every
time I hear anyone complain of their
kidneys now I advise them to Use
