J3u JOHN T. PAKKERSOIf (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) (Copyrirrht, 1C13.) WIERINGEN, HOLLAND, Feb. 10. In one of the most remarkable

j statements on the war yet coming I from the German side, Frederick Willaim, late crown prince of Germany, who is living here in exile, 1 today disclaimed all responsibility for himself and the former kaiser and declared that the seeds of the conflict were sown when the entente cordiale was formed by Engi..nd, France and Russia. The former crown prince said he wants to go to the United States to live. He is now writing his 1 memoirs. iAMES IT ON TJS. The one-time heir to the throne still believes that Germany would have won if the United States had not entered the conflict. As to German politics, he asserted that he d:. s not object to a German republ.e. addinpr that he would rather bo a prHate citizen, "than wear a troubled crown." Th- interview, which took the form of a cross-table conversation, lasted upwards of two hours. The scene or It was the little cottage upon which the former crown prince is living on this Islnnd. Frederick William defended his part in the worlds Rreatest drama with a frankness that was Rlmost boyish candor, sayimr: BAYS EDWARD VII. STARTED IT. "If you want to .know who started the war I will tell you. It. was the late Pdward VII (of Enjsrlnnd). I have talked with ,.im for many hours and many times as we are talkinc now. I knew what was In his mind perfectly. He did not want ta fiht the Germans but wanted to souoc7.o them. The creation of the et.tenie was the war's beginning. It was neither my fn!h-r r-or myself. I knew as ivll as anyone else that, without war, Germany would pain commercial supremacy of the worl 1. I opposed

-. ted to put j war. I knew v.e could net hope to win s. ,i t-. lave, except by a miracle. What has happento k.'.l him- i'.as more than confirmed my views. j COULDN'T PUNISH HIM MORS, finally gad 1 "Now they talk of shooting father and the door. ! rne. How ridiculous! : ,-ound and i "It 13 absurd that men living- in the low with twentieth century should talk such non-

1 sense. i ney couiu not punisn us tnoro than we have been punished already." I I asked tho former German heir If it 'was not a blessing that it Is row over, i His ey es flash. 'd as he replied: "No. not as it is. The Germans are mad. Tli" who!-:- world is mad. What Germany needs is a strong army. It Is j madae-nine to think they can povern without It. Might! That Is it. That is what the entente, with nil of their boasted ideals pre using. That is tho only thini? that will secure the success of the kasuo of nations. It Is a case of the survival of the fittest." After a bit the speaker went on: "If Germany really desires a republic like the t'nitad States or France I will not object. I don't care for the crown. I love my country and will gladly rP turn to work at tho foreipn office or any place else they want to put me. "I would rather be a private cirtzen than wear a troubled crown."
