"I have not renounced anything and
I havo not signed any document what
ovor." Frederick William Hohonzollorn,
who still claims the title of crown
prince of Germnny, thus answered the
Uiiestion or tho Associated press in
tho course or a lengthy conversation
which took placo In tho small cottage
or tho village 'pastor on the island ot
Wlorlngon, where ho is Intorued.
"However." ho continued. "slmnM
tho Gorman government decide to
form a republic similar to the Uni
ted States or France, I shall bo per
fectly content to return to Germany
as a siniplo cil'izen ready to do any
thing to assist my country. 1 should
even be liappy to work as a laborer
In a ractory. At present everything
appears chaos In Germany but I hope
thlngH will right themsolvea'"
Asked what, in his opinion, was tho
turning 'point ot tho war, ho said:
"I was convinced early In October,
1014, that wo had lost tho war, I con
sidered our position hopeless after tho
nauio ot tno Marne, which we should
wal staff had not suffered a base of
nerves'. I tried tn norsnnrli thn run
oral staff to seek poaco then, oven at
a great sacrifice, going so far as to
give up Alsace-Lorraine. But I was
old to mind my own business and
-onflno my activities to commanding
my nrmics. I havo proof of this."
What finally brought about tho
downfall of tho Gorman military pow
. r. he declared, was. revolution in
duced by four years of hunger among
tho civilians and tho troops In tho
rear, together with tho overwhelming
superiority in numbors attained by the
"iitoute powors since AmorIca'? ontrv
Into tho war. which had untibrmlned
're ccnfldonco of tho Gorman fighting
Tore ob.
"Mv soldiers, whom I loved and
wttli whom I lived continuously, and
who, ir I mny say bo, loved me, fought
with tho (utmost courage to tho ond,
ovon whon tho odds were itupossiblo
to withstand."
Tho rcrugee prlnco wont on: "Thoy
'mil no rest,, and sometime an entire
division numbered only (100 rifles.
Thoto woro opposed by fresh allied
troops, among whom woro Amorlcnn
division containing 27,000 men."
