BATTLE OF THE MARNE.

OBSERVATIONS BY THE CROWN

PRINCE

DISREGARDED COUNSELS,

(Reuters Telegrams.)

(Received Oct. 15, 7.10 p.m.) Merlin, uct. 13. The "Taglische Rundschau" publishes a. letter from the Crown Prince saying that the battle of the Marne was only such, a grave failure owing to the then army leaders losing thenheads. It was clear to him in the autumn of 1914 that the war could no longer militarily be brought to a successful end, and he then wished to conclude peace with France. He further complains of lack of resolute political leadership during the war and the failure to make peace with England on the basis of an economic compromise. -
