GERMAN IDEA OF TRIUMPH NOW TO "HOLD OUR OWN" N'e Moment More Unfavorable For Germany Than Now, Crown Prince Says Amsterdam, Sept. 4.—The German idea of victory as defined by the Ger man Crown Prince. in an Interview published In the Budapest Az Est, is an intention "to holdour own and not let ourselves be vanquished." The Crown Prince is quoted as saying that this was clear to him the mo ment England entered the war. The Crown Prince denied he was a "fire-eater" and continued: "It Germany had wanted war we should not have chosen this moment. No moment could have been more unfavorable for Germany." In reply to the question as to how he thought the end of the war would come, he replied: "Through the enemy perceiving the colossal stake which they are not equal to the win ning, and that they cannot win as much a* they are bound to lose." In discussing the present opera tions on the western front, the Crown Prince said: "The enemy attacks and the with drawal on our front at several places are often wrongly interpreted in some circles, Some of our people are too accustomed to a continuous ad vance and when a battle occurs wherein the enemy attacks and we have to defend ourselves, the situa tion not always is correctly under stood. In Judging the situation, both military and political, we must never forget one thing—that we are wag ing a war of defense. The war is one of annihilation only for the enemy, not for us. We want to annihilate none of our enemies. We mean, how ever, to hold our own." Regarding the American forces in France the Crown Prince said: "I've found that the majority don't know what they are fighting for. but we feel, of course, the effect of the entry of the Americans. They have sent over very much material and row are sending very much human material." "We speak openly of victory," the Crown Prince said. "The word vic tory must not be understood to mean that we want to annihilate the enemy but only that we mean to hold our own and not let ourselves be vanquished. The moment England entered the war that was clear to me and I always emphasized it." When the interviewer remarked that the Crown Prince was consid ered abroad as a fire-eater" he an swered: "I am aware of these occusations. t>o I need to say that not a word of them is true."

Lieutenant William Marks has been assigned to Fort MePherson, Georgia, for permanent duty at the internment camp German Deaths Are No Longer "Heroic" By NICHOLAS KLEIN Since the beginning of the war it has been the custom of German trade unions in Germany to honor fallen members by insert ing in the labor papers death no tices in honor of members who met death on the field of battle or in the service. The forms are all set up and the deceased mem bers's name is inserted. in the first year of the war the death notice gave the name of the fallen member and this phrase: "Died heroically on the field of honor." In the second year, the notice was changed to read: "Gave his life for his fatherland." The third year's harvest was thus noticed: "Fell in a foreign land in performance of his duty." German papers just coming here now show a great change In the German labor spirit, and here is the sobering notice used in the fourth year of the war: "Died as a further sacrifice to the horrible war."

This was in dicated yesterday by Provost Mar shal General Crowder, who after a visit to the White House with Gen eral March, chief of staff,* explained that the principles which prevailed in the selection of men between the ages of 21 and 31 would be retained in large measure for the guidance of those operating the selective machin ery.

But what these are the government is not prepared to announce, but it | is believed that rules to cover all J questions that can be foreseen now will be sent to draft boards within a few days. General March and Gen _ eral Crowder conferred with Presi dent Wilson for an hour to-day. They were summoned by the President, who wished to familiarize himself with all details of the manpower and its proposed method of operation.

France Has Fought All Except America "I visited a public school in a small French village," says Stephane Lauzanne, in the September Forum, "and asked of an 8-year-old boy, 'What do you think of America?" "The reply came quickly: " 'America is the only country in the world with which France has never fought!' "The child's ingenuous reply was accurate as a matter of fact; between America and France there has never been the smallest quarrel, or the slightest disagreement. Better still: throughout history we have an in finity of points in common. We were conquering our interior liberty at the very time America was conquering her exterior liberty. We have always had the same ideal of independence, the same passion for democracy. And we have the same color for our Hag."

A Great Change Enters Into Life Of Storekeeper A certain unassuming gentleman in this city who happens to be a prominent dealer in furniture and who up to a few weeks ago had be come a recluse because of his phys ical condition tells this remarkable and most interesting tale: "For a number of years," he said, "I have beer so closely confined to my business, working zealousy to make my store representative in ev ery respect, that wear and tear finally got me, my face became drawn and haggard and my disposi tion seem..d to urge people to evade me. It was then that I began to despise my own company. My book keeper, who has been with me a long time, one day suggested that I needed a rest and that my nerves required attention. She told me that her father had been in the state of health which I was experiencing and that he had taken Phosphated Iron. 'Look at him now,' she said. "He works ten hours a day and appears to be the happiest man in the world, which he believes he is, he says.' "All this happened less than a month ago. I followed the advice, and took at me now. Back in the harness with a smile all the while. I am feeling more fit than ever. When I see a tired-looking face the name of Phosphated Iron immedi ately comes in my mind.
