May 2. 11 Thia morning, in company with two hun dred other uewspaper men who are waging a tour of the A. E. I teit a th French chateau at Stenay where the Crown Prince lived for two jears while he pretended to be direct ing the operations of the German ar my in the Verdun sector. Thin chat eau is one of the most beautiful in thi part of France: is owned by Count Miget. and is one of few old lmildin:s left standing in that vicini tj. It is now in charge of the same oman caretaker who was left behind to attend the Crown Prince. She met u -it ih huce iron Kate which she had nothing but good words for him. The Prince must hare been a se vere disappointment to the Kaiser. Instead of devoting his time and en ergy to acquiring a knowledge of mil itary science, or to cultivating a lust for power, he spent his time learning to paint under the tutelage of ti.'rliu artists. In some respects his conduci reminds one of the Russian Ciar who vearned to be allowed to cultivate flowers in peace. Now the Prince is said to be possessed with the desire 10 do engineering work. He says he is tired of palaces and kings and eui- . . . u i.. pires. and only wains 10 ui peace among men. Poor, simple Ut ile Willy. No wonder he disappoint ed hi vainslotioua father!

The Crown Prince's bedroom as visited first. There was nothing of especial interest about the room save for the fact that it had been the German hetr-appareut's own boudoir. It was plainly though elegantly fur nished. Opposite from the bed was a small chapel furnished with an altar on which lay a prayer book: but the madam attendant hastened to assure lis that little Willy rarelj ever used it- The bedroom waa on the second lloor.

I like the spirit in which jou handle a contro versy ;.you have snown me aoiiuy 01 a debatter all right, and I am of the opinion that if there is anything worthy in your sine 01 me question, that you are the man who can get it out.

I do not tnow. of course, any thing except hearsay about the overseas euenenc.. My idea of it. however, is that Sherman's detinition of it is inadequate; er muchly so. t mnni.l he dreadfully sorry if I thought anything I had even said or written had caused one f the boys to think that I was unappreclative of the monstrous sacrifice he made, or that I. or anone else, wa so- un grateful as to deny or try to leny; him anything that woi'id partially I yes. partially: that's as much at can h said reimburse him for his sac rifice. I am thinking. Just ble and a few chairs. It was in this page four columns in size; 0hr loom where artists from Berlin used to come to teach the Prince painting. We were also told that the Prince was an accomplished musician, which ac counted for the presence f the piano. This room, like all of them in the chateau, was beautifully furnished. The table especially would excite the Interest of most any collector, for it was certainly of a rare design. Ad joining the drawing room was the pri vate drawing room of the Prince, which, so the madam told us, was on ly used on the occasion of the Kai eer's visit to his son. In all the Kal er made eleven visits to the chateau. On each occasion, the Madam related, lie and the Crown Prince engaged In Violent quarrels. She left us with the Impression that the cause of these tjuarrels was the Prince's indifference to military glory; that it was a source of disappointment to the father that his son was not endowed with the Same militaristic ambitions. Connect ing with this room was the dining room used by the Prince's staff. The Prince ate at the head of this tabic when his father was not present. His wife made only one visit during his two years stay at the Chateau. Their married life, it seems, was unhappy; Bow, we are told, she is seeking a di vorce. The Crown Prince had a great fear ef air raids, and to protect himself side being the designed side of wall paper. ' "We are indebted to MaJ. Gillespie for a steak of Confederate beef alias meat.

So great was his fear of air raids that he had the roof of the chateau packed with sand taps.

From tttiff point of vantage the Crown Prince would fro from the Chateau every now. and then to view the progress of his army in the Verdun sector. Like the chat eau this tower was well protected against air raids, we found, by in spection. He had caused to be con structed a dugout of steel and iron from the heights of the tower on down to a number of feet in the earth. He actually watched the great Verdun fight In 1914 from this tower.

At last a German shell landed right in the hole with him, but did not go off. As soon as he recovered from his fright and could think again, he took a look at the shell and found it was a dud (a shell with a defecttre fuse which does not explode). Next he noticed the number of the shell and some thing about it struck him as being peculiar. It was 1.217,413. He reached Inside his shirt and pulled out his identification tag. The number which stared him in the face was 1.217,413. He walked out of the shell hole and back to his lines with the bullets singing all about him but was not hit. He reported to his commanding officer with a salute and a smile. "Captain," he said, "ask me to do anything now. They had one with my number on it, ana it was a auu.
