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.

WINDMILLS DISAPPEARING.
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. |

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.
