(Received Uovember 15, 10 p.m.) The Daily Chronicle’s correspondent at Oels. in an interview with the ex-Crown Prince, secured what is described as his last statement before his retirement into private life. “I am happy, after nine years, again to be in my own home on my own estate,” declared the Prince. "I am happy to bear with my countrymen the trials that have come to our Fatherland. I have only one intention, namely to devote myself to my private duties and within my sphere of work and duty to forward the task of reconstructing my country, concerning whose recovery I have no doubt.” The Prince displayed interest in the political situation in England and was surprised at the news of an election. He speculated on the likelihood of Mr Lloyd George returning to power.
