GETTING FAT
NOW ONLY
WORRY OF
CROWN
PRINCE
He Tells Correspondent That
Food is 0. K. in Holland, But
That He Eats Very Little So
As to Retain His Slender,
Sportsman’s Figure
Amsterdam, Nov. 21 (Delayed).—“l
hope when peace is signed America will
remember that she and Germany were
once friendly,” Friedrich Wilhelm, the
former German crown prince declared
in an interview with the United Press
today.
The correspondent traveled with the
former crown prince to Wiermgen,
where he was interned this afternoon.
He appeared in good health, smiled
frequently and was well dressed in a
sporting suit of brown tweed. He
was accompanied by Major von Muel
ner and Major von Zobelitz. They
rode in a first class compartment but
it was unheated.
Friedrich Wilhelm was discovered
by the correspondent at a time when
the former was temporarily alone.
"I am unable to make any formal
statement as my mouth has been clos
ed by orders,” the former crown prince
said.
'T do not know how long I will stay
in Holland, where I have been accord
ed nice treatment. My future depends
on the revolution. I hope to see Ger
many again but 1 must be patient.
“My only knowledge of events is
obtained through the newspapers. I
have not seen my family for weeks—
even my father, who I/am told, also
lives in Holland., I have not heard
anythin" regarding my wife, my chil
dren or my friends. But have I
friends left?
“I hope that when peace is signed,
America wiil remember that she and
Germany were once friendly. That is
all I can say.”
The former crown prince was ef
fusive regarding food questions.
“The food in Holland is very good
but I eat very little. I wish to re
tain my slender, sportsman's figure.
I cannot afford to get fat.”
Friedrich Wilhelm hopes to indulge
in skating at Wieringen, which is a
lonely island w r here a rented parsonage
is the only good house. He has or
dered a piano and billiard table sent
there. He also plans to dictate his
war memoirs.
Offering the correspondent a cigar
ette he terminated the interview with:
"Greet America for me.”
HUN ARMISTICE
ENVOY TELLS OF
SIGNING TERMS
Amsterdam.— The armistice confer
ence between the German delegates
and Marshal Foch and his associates
early this month were carried out in
the reost business-like manner possi
ble and apparently without notable in
cidents, according to a long account of
the conference given the Berlin Vor
waerts Zeitung by a member of the
German party.
After the French met the German
commissioners they were driven for
ten hours in automobiles to an ap
pointed rendezvous.
“It seemed to me," says the narrator,
“that the drive was intentoinally pro
longed in order to carry us through
the devastated provinces and prepare
us for the hardest conditions which
hatred and rvenge might demand. One
of the Frenchmen pointed to a heap ot
ruins, saying, ‘behold, St. Quentin!'
"We entered a train with blinds
drawn in the-evening and awoke in
the morning in the midst of the for
ests of Compeigne. surrounded by sol
diers.
"There were two trains, one occu
pied by Marshal Foch and his staff
and the other by the Germans. In
these we lived, worked and negotiated
for three days. We had everything
in abundance. There was nothing to
find fault with. Thg great enmity and
hatred that apparently prevailed
against us were shown, however, in
the negotiations and in the terms im
posed."
The narrator remarked that the
French officers and Vice-Admiral
Weymss, British representative,’ main
tained a cold attitude, “never temper
ed by a friendly word.
“Marshal Foch, whom we saw only
twice, at the beginning and at the
end of the conference, is a stern, plain
man. He did not speak a single word
to us in the tone which formerly dis
tinguished the chivalrous French na
tion.
"It is not true that Foch told us
there could not be any questoin of ne
gotiations. only the imposition of con
ditions and whatever coldness he dis
played was never ill-mannered or
rough. ,
"Really, there was nothing to nego
tiate. We pointed out the technical
impossibility of some conditions. Fi
nally we were obliged to sign.”
During the discussion the French
handed the Germans the Paris news
papers announcing the abdication ot
.Emperor W'lliam.
“We observed no smile of triumph
on their faces," adds the writer, “but
we could discern their hatred.”

CLEMFNGEAU
CIVILIAN
HERO OF
FRANCE
By FRANK H. SIMONDS.
(America’s Foremost Military Writer.)
(Copyright, 1918, N. Y. Tribune, Inc.)
Special Dispatch to The Herald.
New York, N. Y., Nov. 27.— The en
trance of Feta in into Metz, of Cas-
telnau into Col
mar and Foch into
Strasburg, with the
hardly less moving
return of Hirsa
hauer to his native
city of Muihouse at
the head of a French
army, t’..ese ceremo
nies, marking the
coming of France
to her "lost prov
inces,” have been
necessarily military
in character. It was
the right of the sol
ders who made the
great triumph pos
sible to ride at the
head of their victo
rious armies into
CLEMLNCL’Ab
the conquered cities of Alsace and Lor
raine. Yet even the soldiers, great <ia
has been their achievements, must
yield to the claims of a civilian when
history comes to bestow the final palm
for the restoration of Prance.
Not even Foch would deny the fact
that his military victories would have
been impossible but for the aid, the
support, the unfailing assistance of
Georges Olemenoeau. It is this won
derful old man, this republican of re
publicans that France, in the last an
alysis must return thanks for present
possession of Alsace-Lorraine. Forty
seven years hgo when Th' rs and Fa
vre sorrowfully yielded to 'Bismarck
and ,<ut their names to the document
which made the sacrifice formal,
Georges Clemenceau was one of the
French deputies who protested against
the act. proclaimed that the represen
tatives of the nation had no right to
surrender any portion of its territories
or its citizens, and now, after almost
half a century, as the civil chief of his
nation, he has made good his protest.
Looking back over the little more
than a year that Clemenceau has been
the civil executive of France, the prime
minister, it is possible to measure his
achievement. He came to bffice when
the army had failed at the Aisne and
for the first and only time was shaken
in its morale. He came to power when
a monstrous defeatist campaign had
begun to march over France. He came
to control when the reins of govern
ment had slipped from impotent hands
and first a “break on the home front
and then on the firing line was fore
casted on all sides.
Not willingly, moreover, did France
turn to Clemenceau. His strength all
men recognized, hut his strength and
weakness alike terrified his contempo
raries. If' his eloquence in his news
paper had again and again aroused the
nation, his long history of political
struggle had made enemies, and his
destructive course over half a century
had left him few political friends and
a host of enemies.
"Briand will fall and go, there nrny
be another and then will come Clemen
ceau, who will try and fail, and then—•
fh en _l will come.” This was what
Caillaux said in Rome in 1917. The
whole game was set up for Caillaux to
come and to make pea with Ger
many when Clemenceau came—but lie
did not fail, he has not fallen. Cail
laux is behind liars. Malvyn an exile,
the lesser defeatists have faced firing
squads or fled —and French armies are
in ittrashurg and Metz.
The first impossible task of Clemen
ceau when he came was to restore the
home front, shaken by defeat in
field and defeatist propaganda behind I
the lines. France, after all the ter
rible sacrifices of past years, with the
Russian revolution destroying her
great eastern ally, with n new invasion
in sight, faced a rrlris which had but
Iwo solutions, collapse or the discovery
of a leader France, the true France,
was as sound and determined as ever,
I,tit without leadership nothing more
was possible

Holland Is

Washington.-Holland is preparing

at The iiagu* , following the pence con

Dutch Minister Cremer told the United
Freae today.
The league of nations should he or
ganized at The Hague, he believes.
Clans are conditional upon acceptance
by the allies. All neutrals would sit
in at The Hague conference- making
it a world congress In contrast to the
rneatelng of belligerents at Versailles.
Holland, along wth other neutrals,
seefi hop** In a Wilson peace. The
Dutch people long for a league of na
tions which would protect ainall coun
tries against greedy and powerful
neighbors such as Germany was in
U»M, Cremer said.
A most significant meeting will oc
cur Friday when the new Dutch minis
ter confers with President WllHon.
Holland is on the eve of closer unity
with America and the allies. Home
form of freedom of the seas must he
evolved to meet the needs of small na
tions like Holland which have exten
sive colonial enterprises. Holland Is
looking to President Wilson for a Just
solution of this problem.
Holland Is probably us bud off for
food as Delirium, having been under
heavy blockade for four years without
such relief as the Belgians received
through the Hoover commission. Hlr.c*
!!)14 Holland has been held motion
less by Germany who kept her guns
levelled at the small kingdom until
Mindenburg’s army collapsed.
The menace of Germany's mailed
fist was scarcely removed until the
German Bolshevlkl began their activ
ity In Holland. Revolution war; then
threatened for a brief moment, but the
Dutch people, who have had demo
cratic* freedom for many years shifted
to middle g/ound and are now appar

Minister Gremer Is strongly In sym

Peace Trip to
Be Explained
By President
WASHINGTON.—Before leaving for France, President
Wilson will make a full statement to the country us to his
purpose in going and outline the work of the administra
tion while he is away.
It, was learned today that the President’s statement will
designate the delegates comprising the 'American peace com
mission, what this nation hopes to do at the conference and
who will direct the administrative work while the President
and other members of his cabinet are away.
President Wilson, It wan stated pos
itively today, will exercise all of his
executive functions personally during
his alißei.ee, leaving Secretary Tu
multy on this side to assist him in
keeping in touch with developments.
Either simultaneously with his
main announcement or at approxi
mately the same time the President
will name the two men he desires to
take up the post of Secretary of the
Treasury and Director General of
railroads left vacant by the resigna
tion of Win. O. McAdoo. He will con
fer with McAdoo Friday relative to
these two appoint meets.
Probably this afternoon some de
tails of the President’s trip will be
made available, covei ■ m particularly
the assignment of a transport to
newspaper correspondents who will
cover the peace conference.
Represent stives of the press asso
ciations will probably accompany the
PieaiOant on the George Washington,
other newspaper men will sail on a
separate vessel before the main party
starts.
The date of the President s sailing
will depend upon congress.
He hopes that both houses will as
semble promptly next Monday so that
he can deliver his annual message on
that day- He is now working on it
and will leave for France as soon after
It's delivery as possible—probably
the next day, December 3.
Four of the peace commissioners
have been definitely designated, it
was: learned today These nr© the
President, Colonel House. Secretary
Reusing and Ex-Ambassador Henry
White, the Republican representative.
There probably will bo another cabi
net member. Secretary Baker, who
was to have gone, finds be Is unable
to leave now, woing to the presenta
tion of the new army bill at the
forthcoming congress. Apparently the
President has not decided whether
Secretary Daniels or Houston will
lake Baker's place. ,
If there are to be any beyond the
five, it was not indicated by the offi
cials doss to the President today.
PRESIDENT WILSON NOT
CONCERNED WITH CRITICS.
Washington.—No weight Is attached by
President Wilson to the argument of crit
ic of his plans for attending the peace
conference that upon crossing the seas he
loses the right to perform executive dut
ies and must allow them to devolve upon
the vice president
It was said officially today that the
President will administer the duties of his
office us completely aboard ship and from
Paris as though he were In the United
Staten. He holds that there are no con
stitut'mal difficulties, and that wireless

standing is that at least one place on the
delegation remains to he filled, hut that

It seems aesu d that the party will
