AN INTERNATIONAL SECRET SOCIETY OF
MILLIONAIRES

In commenting upon Cecil Rhodes will and the In
ternatonal Society of Muonares that it is supposed
that he advocated the Baltimore sun compares Cecil
Rhodes to Victor Hugo and relates the story of the
friend OF the great Freuchman who found him in his
garden meditating upon what he should say to the
Creator when he should meet Him. Can you imagine
what would say?' asked Hugo. Yes" answered the
poets friend You would say, My dear confrere'"
Now while it is true as his will shows that Cecil
Rhodes did have idea of federation of all the Eng
lish speaking people and union OF the governments OF
the United States and Great Britain Is by no means
certain that he dreamed of International Secret
