EX-CROWN PRINCE.
BEIiT.IN, August IS.
“ Jung Deutsche,” the organ of the Young German Patriotic Society, publishes a letter, which, it is stated, the Crown Prince wrote in 1919 to a wellknown manufacturer, in which lie dor nies any responsibility for prolonging the war, and adds: “If our statesmen had succeeded in avoiding the war, Germany’s development would have been increasingly satisfactory. The Battle of the Marne was our only serious reverse, and it was owing to the stupidity and inertia of the Higher Command. It was clear in the autumn of 1914 that the war could no,t conclude successfully. Therefore, I often expressed the opinion that peace was desirable. In the latter years of the war. I vainly struggled against the obsession that Germany was engaged in a life-and-death struggle.”
