OtOWN PRINCE TELLS HUN VICTORY IDEAS
Says Germany Entered War at Unfavorable Moment To Insure Success.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 4.—The German idea of victory as defined by the tier-mar crown prince in an Interview published in the Buda Pest Az Est is an intention "to hold our own and not let Curse} vbs be vanquished." The crown prince, la quoted as saying that this wa* clear to him the moment England entered the war, i- The crown prinoe denied that he was a "flre-ea ter" and continued: 'If Germany had wanted war we should not have chosen this moment. No moment could have been more un favorable for Germany.''
In reply to the question a* to how he thought the end of the war would come, he replied. "Through the enemy perceiving the colossal stake which they are not equal to winning. and that they cannot win as much as they are bound to lose."
In discussing the present operations on the western front, the crown prince said: a "The enemy attacks and the withdrawal on our front at several places is often wrongly interpreted in some circle*. Some of our people are too accustomed to a continuous advance and when a battle occurs wherein the enemy makes attacks and we have to defend ourselves the situation is not always correctly understood. In Judging the situation, both military and political, we must never forget one thing—that we are waging a war of defense. The war is one of annihilation only for the enemy, not for us. We want to annihilate none of our enemies. We mean, however, to hold our own."
Recognizes Amerca's Strength. Regarding the American forces, in FVance, the orown prince paid: "T've found that the majority don't know what they are fighting for, but we feel, of course, the effort, of the entry of the Americans. They have sent over very much material and now are spending very much human material." 'We speak openly of victory,** the crown pnnce said. "The word victory must not be understood to mean that w« want to annihilate the enemy but only that we mean to hold our own and not let ourselves be vanquished. The moment England entered the war that was clear to me and I always emphasized it."
IK* hen the interviewer remarked that the crown prince was considered abroad as a. "fire eater," he answered: *1 am aware of these accusations. Do need to say that not a word of them is true?"
Reverting to the question of what nation wanted the war. he declared that "it was clear that England would take advantage of the opportunity." "Belgium after all was only a pretext." he continued. "England intervened because German competition was unbearable. "We are fighting fnr our erlsfcenr*. repeat our aim, therefore can only be to safeguard ourselves."* "The enemy assault doubtless will continue for some time."

The crown prince said with reference to the fighting on the western front, "but our enemies must themselves see that they will not be able to attain their aim. Our troops are fighting splendidly and I attribute to k their courage the fact that such eoloe-

They do not hesitate at any sacrifice. With the English the individual man is very good and tenacious but the leadership is deficient. Among the Americans I've found the majority do not know what they are fighting for*. I asked American prisoners what they were fighting for and he answered. 'For Aisace,' and to the question, 'Where is Alsace?" he replied, 'It's a big lake!'

A Home Recipe for Removing Wrinkles
Who will blame the modern woman for trying to look as young and attractive as she reasonably can? Why should she be placed at a disadvantage in numerous ways by wearing wrinkles, if she can avoid these hateful marks of advancing age? Few women, however, know what to do to effectually rid themselves of wrinkles or sasrginess. Most of the advertised preparations are unsatisfactory and very expensive. But a very simple and harmless home remedy, which any woman can make, will work wonders where all the patent preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite at any drug store. Dissolve the whole ounce in a half pint of witch hazel and use as a wash lotion. The results are practically instantaneous. Marked improvement is noticed immediately after the very first trial. Wrinkles and sagging are corrected and the face feels so refreshed and smug-ltke.—Ad-V'tisement.

formed. The number of days the mine operated in the last three months as well as the tons of coal mined. This blank is signed by both the registrant and his superior.
Mr. Penna stated that the men were not clamoring for exemption, in fact the mines were suffering a serious handicap through the general exodus of the miners, who had enlisted and been called for army service, but that it would seem to be a necessary war measure to place the men in the deferred class in order that a sufficient supply of coal might be realised U cover the accentuated demand.
The district exemption board, with headquarters at Indianapolis, has realised the seriousness of the situation in the mining districts, resulting from the heavy draft made on coal miners and has begun placing coal producers in deferred classes.
The local board of Vigo county and the north side board of Terre Haute received Wednesday morning a list of 50 or more names of miners changed from class 1 to class 2C and class 2D, insuring their retention in their present capacity.*
Other lists ar? expected to follow soon until all miners not now in service are placed In it deferred classification.

if their movements are an indication of their plan of maneuver, the Germans plan to retreat bnck of the Aisne or to the Chemin Des Dames.

The British line west of Cambrai is almost where it was last March when the German offensive began.
