LONDON, Nov. IS. (11:10 a. m )
The German crown prince was as
sassinated by his own troops, ac
cording to an Hxa hange Telegraph
dispatch from Paris today, quoting
advices from Herne.
The. body was found In a railway
conch.
In addition to being shot, the
crown prince had been bayonetted.
He was killed by the troops that
were escorting him Into Holland.
The- German crown prince, Fred
erick "William, was 36 years old and
has been held largely responsible for
the war by well known critics. He
was leader of one of the Junker
pro up. He was In command of a
Oerman army group between the
AI?ne and Meuse rivers and com
manded the troops that began the
Verdun offensive in 191. In 1905
the crown prlnc was married to
Duchess Cecile of Mecklenburg
Schwerin and six children were
born of the union.

AMSTERDAM. Nov. 1. That the
German crown prince was shot and
killed by German sentries while
making a second effort to escape
into Holland was officially reported
here today.
Being frustrated in hi first effort
to get across the frontier in an au
tomobile, the crown prince tried a
second time with fatal results.
Tt may be that the German crown
prince fell a victim of the deadly
discipline which he himself had
helped drill into the German sol
diers'. The sentries were tinder or
der? to fire upon any persons mak
ing their way into Holland and they
evidently slrw the German crown

Eighteen War
Measures Soon
to be Wiped Out
Proclamation of Peace Will
Erase Important Meas

International News Serrtce
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 2. Eigh
teen important war measures adopt
ed by the 65th congress in its two
war sessions will go off. the books
shortly after the proclamation of
peace by Pres't "Wilson, according to
a statement prepared for the senate
this afternoon by Majority Leader
Martin.
Most Important of these measures
are those for the control of the
transportation syst'n of the Unit
ed States and the U '-pnone and tele
graph stems of the country.
The rail control law provides
that federal supervision shall "con
tinue for and during the period of
the war, and for a reason ible time
thereafter, which shall n:t exceed
one year and nine months next fol
lowing the date of the (peace) pro
clamation." 11 nance Body to Close.
Federal supervision of telegraph,
telephone, leased cables and radio
systems continue "only during the
continuance of the present war,"
under the wire control bill.
The war finance corporation must
terminate its activities six months
after the termination of the war and
during that period Is permitted by
an act of congress to transact only
such business as is incidental to the
winding up of Its affairs.
The activities of the capital Issu
es committee, created by the same
act, also . must terminate six months
after the proclamation of peace.
The first draft act provided that
the men drafted under it should be
released from the military service
of the United States "within four
months after the date of the pro
clamation of peace, or as soon there
after as it may be practicable to
transport the forces to their home
btations."
The act extending the draft ages
from 18 to 4 5 years provided that
men should remain In the service
until "the war shall have been
brought to a successful conclusion."

flags!" There's only one flag to be
carried in this country now." Then
the riot started. The soldiers seize!
and destroyed every red flag they
could get their hands on. They were
attacked by men and women march
ers. Sailors rushed to the battle and
nniformed men appeared from all
directions.
Hundreds of riot calls were sent
in and police reserves were rushed

Sec'y M'Adoo Calls For Esti
mates on Savings in Ap
propriations Made Pos
sible by Peace.
Internntlonal Newa Service:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. Sec'y
of the Treasury McAdoo struggled
today to bring order out of the chaos
into which the sudden ending of
the war has thrown the financial
accounts of the United States. He
asked every member of the cabinet
to submit to him a statement show
ing Just how much can be saved of
the lavish appropriations made by
congress for carrying on the war
during the present riscal year.
Sec'y McAdoo frankly told Sen.
Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee, and Chairman Kitchln of
the house ways and means commit
tee, that he would not know how
great the indebtedness of the Unite!
States would bo at the end of thlj
fiscal year until he had this infor
mation in hand.
Until Sec'y McAdoo submits a
statement to the finance committer
giving the exact amounts required
by the treasury department to meet
the government's obligation, aB
work on the new revenue bill now
before the senate finance commit
tee, will be suspended.
Appropriate HI Billions.
Appropriations made at the pres
ent session of congress total more
than twenty-four billion dollars and
the urgent deficiency bill recently
passed brings the full amount up to
thirty-one billion dollars. On the
credit f-Ide of the ledger the gov
ernment has only the six billion dol
lars raised in the fourth Liberty
loan. A large part of this amount
will not come into the treasury for
many months, since many bonds
were sold on the long time payment
plan.
The revenue bill, as at present
written, will bring in only $6,000,
000. 000. instead of the $8.000.000.
000 Sec'y McAdoo said he would re
quire. This amount added to the
$6.000,000.000 from Liberty bond
gives the treasury only $12,000,
000,000 with which to meet an in
debtedness of $31,000.000.000. if all
the appropriations congress has
made are expended.
Two More Ixvum Coming.
It is obvious that at least two
more Liberty loan campaigns must
be made, and also that war taxation
cannot be lightened. Sec'y McAdoo
already has warned the people that
the financial burden will not be lift
ed because of the end of the war.
Chairman Kitchln of the house
ways and means committee said to
day that expenditures during the
present fiscal year would not be over
$20.000.000.000, that $10.000.000.000
of the war appropriations will not
be expended. Other leaders were not
so optimistic. Chairman Simmons of
the senate finance committee be
lieved that the savings would not he
over six billions. Simmons figured
that none of the three billion appro
priated for heavy ordnance would
be expended. Rep. McFadden, an
influential Pennsylvania hanker said
he believed the obligations to the
allies for goods manufactured abroad
with which to equip the American
Torces would wipe the savings made
by cancelling the contracts to this
country. Congress has received no
hint of the amounts of these obli
gations. Kicvt Many Requests.
McFadden added that he believed
Andre Tardlu's statement on the
things for which France would look
to the United States after the war
but the forerunner of formal re
quests for food and other commodi
ties from practically all the coun
tries of Europe. The needs of our
associates, and even of our enemies
could not be Ignored, he said. This
it is believed, would add materially
to the Indebtedness the United
States must cancel by the bond sales
and taxation.
Taking Kitchin's statement tha
the expenditures of the present fis
cal year will not run over twenty
billion dollars as a basis of calcula
tion, the treasury department will be
able to make ends meet on June 30,
next, only by successfully floating
two more Liberty loans of four bil
lion each.
Kitchin's estimate is, however, by

QUORUM QUESTION IS
INVOLVED IN VALIDITY
OF DRY RESOLUTION
Internat'en.'tl News SerrW :
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1". The
resolution enacted by concress to
submit national prohibition to the
states may be rescinded. According
to a statement by the Anti-Saloon
league of America, the vilidity or in
validity of this resolution revolves
around what constitutes a quorum
of congress.
This will be threshed out when
lh quorum question is submitted
for a decision to the United State
jsuprerfte court.
Attorneys representing liquor in
terests contended that two-thirds of
congress meant two-thirds of all
members elected, the Anti-Saloon
league statement says and ttu Anti
Saloon league attorneys hold that
nuorum meant two-thirds of the
I'members present and voting.
A decision by the supreme court
that a quorum is two-thirds of mem
