AMSTKRDAM, Sept.. 4.—The;
Crown Prince, in an interview, said ;
that the German idea of victory was •

“I have found a mo;orit> of the Am- .
ericuns don’t know waht they are
lighting for.”

Now wouldn’t the above remark o;
the Crown Prince make your hair
frizzle? The poor offspring of a de- I
generate thing, a pampered kid of the
Royal Household of Germany, how

Americans to ascertain if they really
knew that they were fighting for?

heels during his recent rout from the
Marne to beneath the hod ot his mo
ther in the royal castle, and it is a
safe bet that he did not stop and ask:
’ “\Vh;tt are you guys fighting for.
any wav’d* The Crown Prince had.
been go back and get under the bed
again for the Americans and the oth
er Allies will yet show him and his
whole blame family what they are
fighting for and they also know what
they are chasing them from France
and Belgium for.
