THE NEW JACoBITEs.
The existence OF the Legitlmist Jacob
a, League has been known In England
ever since the league was founded by
Ne Marquis de Ruvigny and others
some years ago, but its operations have
not been taken seriously by the general
public. because there was vague i'm
preston that its members really had
the hope OF supplanting Queen Victoria
and the heir apparent-a design 80 pre-
posterous as to be entertained only by
harmless genealogical cranks.
But 1t appears that the league Is not
50 dreamy as all that. II has a MEM
beHhip Of between four and five thOus-
and, and q much larger number OF ao-
tive sympathizers who DO not wish TO
put their names on the rolls. II Is in
creasing slowly but steadily In MEM
bership; Il is spending good bit OF
money In making converts. and, finally,
Il has a definite ambition TO place Its
Queen Mary ~. or her heir on the
throne Of England, but not before the
popular prince Of Wales has had his
turn with the scepter When Prince
George Steps up for the crown then
look out for the league, for II has fig-
ured by that time the English people
VII want O change.
The royal lady for whom the league
has begun an active campaign. and
Who would have been queen today VI
the divine right OF direct descent had
not been oyerborne by the asserted
night Of the people TO choose their own
ruler, Is the wife OF the Crown Prince
Louis. of Bavaria. When King Otto,
The nominal sovereign of Bavaria, be-
came so hopelessly crazy that II was
necessary TO put him under guard, his
uncle LuitpOld. became prince regent.
Luilpold Is an old man now. and when
he Is called to lay down his earthly
crown his distinguished daughter-in-
law VIII become queen consort of Ba-
Varla besides appearing in bold type
IN LegItimist literature as Mary ~,
