WIERENGEN. July 12. "What would happen if I should demand of
ths German supreme court, now try
ins the so-called war criminals that
inasmuch as my name Is the first on
the extradition list, they immediately
call my case and try me?" With this question the former German crown prince answered my question as to what happened to the allies' case againd him and his attitude toward it. ''Accusations have been made aeainAt me. which, while they are ridiculous, shou'd be put to the test and cleared up. It is. my right, like that of any other clt'zen, that the charge.-) should either be proved or formally dropped." "Would you also volunteer to stand trial by a neutral court?" I asked. "Certainly. I can promise you tnat the trial would develop some Interesting; surprises on the question of the
responsibility for the wir. As far as ths charges aralnst me personally are concerned they are simply absurd. I am accused of having caused a massacre at Etes-Gomey, a place in which I have never been. Or I am accused cf pillaging.
"I have witnesses who can Rive some surprising- testimony. I've done countlesa things for the citizens of the occupied territories, and I firmly
believe their gratitude Is not dead.'
The crown prince began to discuss
the propaganda campaign direcie-d
against him during the war, with
frankness which shows he has no il
lusions about the stories circulating
About him.
"As far as my responsibility for the
war Is concerned, that's too rldicuous
In September. 1314. I foresaw that the
war wouli be prolonged to Infinite
length and made no secret of my opin
ion that It would be better to come to
an understanding: wjth our antagon
ists.
"Before the war I constantly urged the conclusion of a treaty with either Russia, or England. Such a treaty
would have prevented the war. But
my influence was not great enough to
make this program effective. "J knew King Edward well and had eeveral conversations with him about
Anglo-German relations. 'Germany is
prersiag us too hard commercially,' he complained. It must stop, r we will bave to put a stop to it.' "Th terms of the recent ultimatum (how how thoroughly King Edward's program has been carried out. "If we had wanted war. why didn't we precipitate !t during the Boer war, or the Rysso-Japanese war? It is evidently a little known fact that before the war France maintained a larger army than Germany, although France has a population of approximately 4 5.OoO.OOO a-nd Germany had nearly 70,000,000. "Bethmann-Hollweff Insisted that the kaiser carry out his plans for a trip to Norway despite the Sarajevo murder. My father didn't wish to leave Berlin, but the chancellor insisted that as the trip had been announced a change of program might arouse suspicion in the neighboring countries. My father has since bitterly regrette?, he did not remain in Berlin at that time. I am firmly convinced that Ids pretence in the German capltol In
those critical days would have made it possible to have reached a paeeful settlement."
