GERMANY AND THE WAR
LETTER FROM EX-CROWN PRINCE. 1 BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT BERLIN, Aug. 15. The Jung Deutsche, the- organ of the Young German Patriotic Society, publishes a letter, in which it. is stated that the Crown Prince wrote in 1919 to a well-known manufacturer, in which he denies responsibility for prolonging the war, and adds: “If our statesmen had succeeded in avoiding war Germany’s development would have been increasingly satisfactory. “The Marne was the only serious reverse, owing to the stupidity and inertia of the higher command. “It was clear by autumn, 1914, that the -war could not conclude successfully. Therefore I often expressed the opinion that peace whs desirable. In latter years I vainly fought against tlie obsession that Germany was engaged in a life and death struggle.”
