UNNECESSARY WAR"
'ORCED ON GERMANY,
SAYS CROIN PRINCE
Kaiser's Heir Tells Corre
spondent Fatherland Was
Compelled to Fight for
Her National Existence.
(Copyright, 1011, by EfuvlNH I.eoaea)
EADQtunTEns or the arms op
CROWN PKINCn IN FRANCE, Nov. 89.
"Undoubtedly this Is tho most stupid,
senseless and unnecessary war of modern
times. It Is a war not wanted by ucr-
any, I can assure you, but it was rorccu
on "Us, and tho fact that wa were so
ffectually prepared to defend ourselves
Is now being used as an argument to
convince, the world that we desired con
flict." In tho above words Frederick Wlllielm,
Crown Prince of Germany and heir to the
throne of the Kaiser, prefaced the first
direct statement made to the press by
any member of the Gorman royal family
ulnco the outbreak of the war.
I arrived at the headquarters of tho 5th
JGcrman army shortly beforo midnight.
At daybreak I received a, call from. Major
3Stde?Von Dor Plnnlte, personal aide-do-
camo an tho Crown Prince, who stated
thrtMiTS Imperial Highness wanted to wet
come me, but that ho was leaving for tho
firing line and would see me a little later
In the day.
When, some tlmo later, the Crown
Prince returned, I was presented. Ho
Creeled me cordially.
NATION LBFT NO CHOICE.
"I am a soldier and, therefore, cannot
discuss politics," said tho Crown Prince,
"but It seems to me that thla wholo
business, all of this action that you see
around here. Is senseless, unnecessary
kind uncalled for. But Germany was left
no choice In tho matter. From the lowest
to the highest We all know that wo ore
lighting for otjr existence. I know that
uoldlers 'of tho other nations probably
nay, and a great many of them probably
think, tho samo thing. This does not
niter the fact, however, that we aro
actually fighting for our national life.
"SInco we know that the present war
wan to bo forced on us It became our
Mghest duty to anticipate the struggle
by every necessary and possible prepara
tion for the defenso of tho Fatherland
against tho Iron ring which our enemies
have for years been carefully and stead
lly welding about us. The fact that wo
foresaw, and so far as possible fore
stalled the attompt to crush us within
this ring and that wo were prepared to
defend ourselves Is now being used as
mi argument In an attempt to convince
tho world that wo not only wanted this
conflict, but that we aro responsible for
it.
GERMAN PEOr-LE A UNIT.
"No power on earth will ever be able
to convince our people that this war was
not engineered eolely and wholly with a
view to crushing the German people,
their Government, their Institutions and
nil that they hold dear. As a result, you
'Will find tho German people are one
grand unit. Imbued with a magnificent
spirit of sclf-sacrlflce."
The scene of our conversation was the
drawing room of a small French villa,
located a few miles directly baok of the
German fighting line, and used by the
Crown Prince as a headquarters for hlm
eelf and staff. The young commander of
the German forces was simply dressed In
the gray-green khaki of his troops. In
. a uniform devoid of any decorations save
1 very small Insignia of his rank as lleu
Jmant general and his recently acquired
Slack and white ribbon of the Order of
nie Iron Cross. He carried no sword, but
jtyyed with. a short swagger stick similar
? those carried by English cavalry o fil
lers. Our conversation had been In progress
put a short time when It became clear to
J.TXB that the Crown Prince, llko K per
cent, of the Germans I have met on the
tiring line and off of It, holds England
responsible for tho present war. Tho
thing that Impressed mo most, however,
was the fact that, despite tho Intensity,
of, his convictions, he displayed none of
the Intense hatred or the bitterness to
ward the English which I have seen
manifest' so constantly among people of
all walks of life since the outbreak of
the war. On the contrary, there was a
note of regret and almost one of sadness
as he discussed this phase of the great
Issue.
PRAIBE FOn ENEMY.
I quickly gained the Impression that the
Crown Prince Is by no means tho man
, be has been pictured In England and
America. There is nothing of the fire
eater or uncompromising warrior about
him. He gave no evidence of gaining
pleasure from his military experience or
cf delighting In the conflict. He was ex
ceedingly generous at all times In his
praise of the enemy as he had come in
contact with them.
Early in the conversation tho Crown
Prince assumed the role of the Inter
Viewer and mnde evident his deep In
terest In the sentiment of America and
Americans and his lack of understanding
of the general attitude of out country
toward Germany's position. Like a great
majority pf all Germans, he Is unable
exactly to understand why there Is not
tnoro sympathy In the United States for
Germany.
AMERICAN ATTITUDE PUZZLING.
"There Is no use nor purpose to b
served try our closing our eyes," ha said,
"to the fact that a very large part of
the world is against us. But It surprises
ma that America, to which we are
bound by ties of friendship and blood
as to no other neutral country; America,
where millions of our people have gone
and carried the German tongue and Ger
man ideas of liberty and freedom, should
be so totally unable to put themselves
lnV?ur place. I would not be frank un
less I admitted that It has been a sur
prise to me that Americans have not
een more clearly, up to this time, the
position of Germany, entirely surrounded
by Jealous enemies, fighting for her ex
istence; that they have not had a better
understanding, which would necessarily
mean a higher appreciation of the unex
ampled sacrifices and heroism of our
pecjtfe, making this gigantic strugglo
with no other objective than the saving
of the Fatherland."
Ho attributed the attitude of America
almost wholly to England's control of
the press and the world's channels of
communication. He frankly admitted
that in the past Germany has failed to
appreciate the important role played by
the press in world politics and in Inter,
national affairs. He made It clear that
Germany has learned a lesson In thl
rctpeot and learned it at the prtvs of be
ing branded in the eyes of the neutral
rations as a military menace to the
world's peace.

Many Found Dead on Field After
Kolubanv Battle.
VIENNA, Nov. 80.
Hfcavy losses, suffered by the Servians
In their defeats by the Austrlons, have
forced them to fill the gaps In their
army by enlisting women, according to
a report received here from Field Mar
shal Potlorek. He states that among
the dead left on the field by the Bcrvlans
In the fighting along the Kolubara Itlver
the Austrlans found many women.
He adds that old men and boys have
bee enrolled nnd that the Servians are
fighting with great tenacity to hold their
positions.
GERMAN LEFT IING
IN FLIGHT TO THORN,
PETROGRAD STATES
War Office Reticent About
Poland Battle, However,
and Curbs Extravagant
Expectations of Vast Vic-
lory.
PETROGRAD. Nov. SO.
The left wing of tho German army In
Polond Is In flight toward Thorn from tho
region of Gombln, according to the official
Army Messenger. It declares that tho
reverse suffered by the Germans at Lods
rivals tho worst defeats Inflicted upon
them during tho Napoleonlo wars, nnd
predicts that tho continued advance of
the Russian troops from the Bsura River
In pursuit of the retiring left wing of the
enemy will force the Kaiser's troops to
abandon the positions they sHllt hold In
the Strykow-Sglcrz-Lodz region.
It also Is stated that the German right
wing In Southern Poland Is completely
cut off, and that German losses have been
tremendous.
According to tho omcial Army Mes
senger the German left wing contains
six army corps (210,000 men), commanded
by General Mackenson. Advices state
that Cracow will soon be Invested, unless
tho Austrian troops dccldo not to defend
the fortresses there. It Is now con
sidered unlikely, however, that this great
stronghold will be surrounded without a
hard struggle.
A general statement by the War Of
fice tends to curb extravagant hopes of
a vast and Immediate victory. It an
nounces: "Tho public Bhould observe caution In
accepting rumors of a crushing Russian
vlctoyy. These rumors are based partly
on prlvato letters said to have been re
ceived from the front and made publla
In some of the nowspapers. The rumors
aro not, as a whole, based on fact, and
must bo received with reserve.
"Undoubtedly the Gorman scheme to
pierce our front on the left bank of
tho Vistula has completely foiled. It ap
pears from the communications of the
staff commander-in-chief that the Ger
mans have been compelled to fall back
from Rzgow and Tuszyn and through
Brzeztny on Strykow undor conditions
most unfavorable to them. The Germans
suffered enormous losses during the re
treat. "Tho fighting, however, Is not yet fin
ished. The battle on the whole front Is
developing very favorably for us. Tho
enemy continues, however, to offer' stub
born resistance. It Is Impossible, there-,
fore, to consider the operations ended,
nnd It Is necessary to. awnlt the revela
tion of Its flnul results in tho firm as
surance that the Russian troops are fully
conscious of the. necessity for concluding
successfully their heroic efforts In order
finally to shatter the enemy's resistance."
The hope of" Russian arms now rests
with the great reinforcements which have
been rushed forward to the battle line
In Poland. It 1b still confidently expected
that tho German armies on the line from
the south of Plock to the region of Lodz
will bo completely crushed. Terrific fight
ing has marked the efforts of the enemy
to cut their way out of that region, and
complete success has not yet been gained
by the Russians.
The official statement declares favorable
progress Is still being made by the Rus
sian forces, but It Is evident that the
various battles which have been going on
during tho past week have praotlcally
welded themselves Into ono vast engage
ment which must soon turn one way or
tho other.
The army of General Mackensen Is de
clared to have been virtually cut In three
parts, but one section has suoceeded In
extricating Itself from Its precarious
position, though only with tremendous
losses.
RUSSIAN PRINCESS GETS
AVIATOR'S POST AT FRONT
Only "Woman in Bervlce Becomes
Aerial Scout.
PETROGRAD, Nov. SO. Princess Bhak
hovskaya, tho only woman attached to
the Russian army aviation corps, has left
here for service with the northwestern
aimy.
When the General Staff failed to de
tail her1 for service she applied for per
mission to go to the front as a nurse
and Immediately received orders to take
up duties as an aerial scout.

Warm Work nt tho Front
From a cavalry officer of the British
army:
We havo had It pretty warm the last
few days. On Monday we reached a
town which the Germans were attacking
on the flank. Our squadron was advance
guard. The troop dismounted and got Into
n ditch, right In front of our own bat
tery In action, Tho noise was terrific.
After our guns had plastered tho enemy
It was thought thnt they had rotlrcd and
we wero ordered to mount and advance.
Tho country was very open, nnd tho
Germans waited until we were from CO
to 100 yards away nnd then let us have
It. But thoy shot very badly. I had a
lucky escape, as In turning sharp to the
right to avoid a morass my saddle slipped
round and I took a loss on my shoulder.
But thoy never hit cither me or my mare,
and wo got safely under cover.
Wo woro forced to retire when the
Germans brought up their guns against
us, but we only lost two horses and had
two men slightly hit.
We remnlned In tho town foV four
hours while the Germans bombarded It,
but their chief object was to destroy the
church and clock tower.
Had another narrow squeak next morn
ing. Found my shouldor too damaged to
ride, so went with tho transport, and tho
Germans brought guns up to within 300
yards of us. We moved pretty nulckly.
mcir anens ennsea us nil down a
but
long stralghtNroad, bursting cither sldo of
us, but not doing much damage. Near
enough, though I
I nm resting my shoulder for n dn' or
two nnd am glad of a sleep and to get
my boots off. It Is getting raw and cold
now. I hope to bo back In action In a day
or two.
Soldiers Find Money Useless
From Prlvato Frank Forsyth, of the
Irish Guards, to his mother:
I received the box of clgarotte3 will
right, nnd I need not tell you they were
welcome Though we get money (10
francs) It la absolutely useless, ns tho
"Gcrs" mndo sure there was nothing left
In tho villages In the way of food or
smoke. In fact, thoy did not leave the
houses standing In case they would pro
vldo sheltor for us.
I was offered aa much ns a franc for n
Woodbine, nnd flvei francs Is a common
price to pay for a loaf of civilians' bread.
It Is so Bcarco find money of so llttlo
value. Of course, we get our rations of
bread (,i lb.) and two biscuits, but eomo
blokes like to supplement It.
I enclose n cutting of a paper describ
ing how we took up our present position.
When we reached tho top of the hllli
mentioned wo lost six officers and about
30 men killed and wounded. We dug
trenches, and are hore still. Captain
Berners, Lord A. Hay, and Lord Guernsey
wero killed In this action.
Wo are now well supplied with news.
In fact. The Dally Mall Continental Edi
tion is given to us In tho trenches on
tho same day of publication. I think this
Is something In newspaper enterprise. Wo
can see an account of what has been hap
pening tho day before In our own lines.
We havo proper shell-proof trenches
dug now, and" our casualties for three
weeks have been only a couple of
wounded.
I see Redmond Is going to form an
Irish Brigade, I would not caro to bo a
German and face that lot. I'm sure It
has got quite a reception In Dublin, and
should give a grent fillip to recruiting.
God help the "Gers" when Kitchener
raises his million men, because with any
thing like even numbers we would swipe
them. Don't wotry.
Faced Shells for Seven Hours
From an officer who has been wounded
in France:
We were supposed to be surrounded,
but wo weren't certain. The colonel
called all the officers up and told us we
were In n very tight corner, but we were
not to let the men know. Ho said that
wo should be lucky If wo got out, and
for the honor of the regiment and Eng
land to fight to the last man. Well, I
was told off with my men, B0 altogether,
to watch all night. Nothing happened
until quite late In the morning, about
7 o'clock. Then I saw about a mile
away, on tho horizon, the Germans com
ing on In huge masses over a hill. At
the same time their big guns opened lira
with extraordinary good range. There
we were under Are from these big guns
for seven hours, without being entrenched
and we didn't lose a man. The shells
fell as close as 10 yards away at times.
1 but God was with us.
wa opened nro wnen they were about
Lady (In small Irish hotel) Waiter, take away that bottle and put some
clean water in it. .......
Waiter Faith, mum, the wather's all right; 'tis the bottle that's dirty.
I unch.
1000 yards away, and that made them
think a hit. They began to waver, and
went back over tho hill ngnln. The Bhell
flro went on as usual, only this tlmo they
were hitting us rather badly. Wo were
shelled from nil sides now, nnd you
coujl see tho men rolling over to get out
of the way of huge lumps of shell, which
camo hurtling along tho ground. It was
quite funny to see them. Tho Germans'
shells break up Into hugo chunks, and
you can see tho bits rattling along the
ground.
We could not fire back as we cotald
see no Infnntry anywhere, ns wns gen
erally the ense. They cannot stnnd our
rifle fire. Our guns had got hold of
theirs by now, about 8:30 a. m., nnd thero
was a fearful row going on. I had orders
to wnlt till 8:30 a. m., while the rest re
tired, nnd theii como back myself, I
watted till 8:45 n. tn.. nnd then collected
my men, now only 17, nnd wo went back
without seeing their Infantry ngnln.
Just ns wo were crossing u road under
somo trees, shells fairly poured on us,
nnd we wero covered with earth, stones
nnd bits of trees. I was hit all over tho
body with various objects and knocked
down, but got up again feeling a bit
dazed, nnd wo went on till wo passed
the noxt line of men, half a mile back.
Then I wns told that blood was coming
out of my boot, nnd that was tho first
I knew of my v cund.
Germans "On Their Last legs"
tl letter from Henry Thomas, an Eng
lish ptmtter, of the tid Battery, Royal
Field Artillery, to his mother, Mrs.
Thomas Ycadon, of 812 Hilton street,
Philadelphia.)
Wo nro fighting against a terrlblo
enemy. They lire not fair nnd arc looting
nnd dropping bombs on clvlllnns, who
can't defend themselves. But they nro
on their Inst legs. I havo fought In all
the big battles, Mons, tho Alsno nnd
Ypres. Tlicy wero hot places, especially
tho Alsne, where we lost many men nnd
horses. I hopo It don't last much longor.
I have to write with pencil, but a friend
of mine Is getting up a rafflo for a
fountnln pen, which will bo sent to me.
Any money left over will go for
cigarettes.
I was heartbroken to learn that you
sent me three letters which I did not get.
Address me caro of the British Expedi
tionary Force, and I will be sure to re
celvo nil letters. God spare you nil till
we meet again.
