Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Current Misconceptions About the War Headquarters of the Army of Crown Prince in France (by courier via Namur, Aix-la-Chapelle and The Hague to London, by cable to New York), Nov. 20. - "Undoubtedly this is the most stupid, senseless and unnecessary war of modern times. It is a war not wanted by Germany, I can assure you, but it was forced on us, and the fact that we were so effectually prepared to defend ourselves is now being used as an argument to convince the world that we desired conflict." In these words Frederick William, Crown Prince of Germany and heir to the throne of the Kaiser, opened the first interview he has ever given to a foreign newspaper man, and the first direct statement made to the press by any member of the German royal family since the outbreak of the war. I arrived at the headquarters of the Fifth German army in an automobile, shortly before midnight. At daybreak, I received a call from Major Edler von der Planitz, personal aide de camp to the Crown Prince, who stated that his Imperial Highness wanted to welcome me, but that he was leaving for the firing line and would sec me a little later in the day. When, some time later, the Crown Prince returned, I was presented. He greeted me cordially and without any of the stiffness or cool reserve that might have been expected. "I am very pleased to see you here," he said, "and I hope that you will find plenty to interest you. I want you to feel at liberty to go wherever you like." "I hope your Imperial Highness will pardon my Americanized German," I said, in stating to him some of the points in which I thought American readers would be chiefly interested.
