Thursday, Feb. 19, 1920 LETTER FROM WILHEI.M. Crown Prince Offers to Suffer All the Consequences. President Wilson has before him a personal cablegram from Fredierick Wilhelm, former crown prince of Germany, suggesting "if the Allied and associated governments want a victim, let them take me instead of the 900 Germans who have committed no other offense than that of serving their country in the war." What action the president might take on the message wrhich presuma bly was identical with that reported in Amsterdam dispatches as sent to the rulers ;and presidents of other powers opposed to Germany in the war, has not been disclosed. There was a suggest'omat the white house that he might reply. In some quarters, however, the opinion prevailed that he would not even acknowledge its receipt since it was pointed out the United States is not a party to the treaty or a member of the league of nations and has no legal voice in any proceedings as to extradition of German officials or , \ officers for trial. The message follows: "To the president of the United States of North America: "Mr. Wilson, Washington: "Mr. President: The demand for the delivery of Germans of every walk of life has again confronted my country, sorely tried by four years of war and one year of severe internal troubles, with a crisis that is without precedent in the history of the world as affecting the life of a people. That a government con be found in Germany which would carry out the edmanded surrender is out of the Question: the consequences to Europe of an enforcement of the demand by violence are incalculable, hatred and revenge would be made eternal; as the former successor to the throne of my German fatherlanu, * I am willing at this fateful hour to stand up for my compatriots. If the all'eff and associated governments " want a victim, let them take me in- | stead of the 900 Germans who have committed no offense other than that of serving their country in the war. "WILHELM.

Holland is Doing Away With One of Its Noted Characteristics.. , Hollond is slowly but surely losing I the one characteristic of its landscape I made famous in art and known to I every school boy?the squat, fat, lazy looking windmills that for centuries i have stood out all over the country's Qat surface. These quaint structures are gradually giving way to highly practical but ugly steam end electric plants. Dutch technical men say the windmill is doomed. Now and then a large group of i them is replaced by one electric plant, and in the course of each year, a number are destroyed by fire?pre- I senting a spe.tacular blaze with the big burning wings wheeling around like fiery arms. They are never reconstructed. ; The existing type of Dutch windmills was invented about the year 1400. The great disadvantage of the windmill, of course, is its absolute; dependence on weather conditions. | For this reason, they are being replaced, when possible, by modermmachinery. \ The Dutch windmill, however much it may look In pictures to be a toy, is far from that. It is a sturdy structure, a9 big as a good size house, anu the machinery inside is extremely .. powerful. | ~ foif mdnv nf thPTTI ! naiuianj, a gi tai uiuu; remain, but the number becomes less 1 year by year, and, so far as can be | ascertained, the erection of a new; one is seldom undertaken.
