ROYAL COUSINS ON
CORDIAL TERMS

During his short reign King George
probably never has entertained a guest
SO thoroughly after his own heart as his
cousin. Prince Henry OF Prussia. What
ever contemporaneous historians may
have said about the late Kings dislike
Tor his imperial nephew, the German
Kaiser. and whether 1t be true that Ed
ward was jealous OF his younger k,ns-
man, who assembled a throne in his voutb
there is no such feeling between King
george and his uncle William, and as for
Prince Henry, the King and he are reeu-
lar chums.
Unlike William. King George and
Prince Henry have preserved the manly
hlrshte adornment OF their ancestors
They also are pretty much alike in age
and temperament, both real sailormen
and more nearly related in blood than
any other of the British reigning family
with members OF a foreign royal house
For Prince Henry is not only the Kings
hrst cousin his mother, the late Empress
Frederic, having been HIS fathers sister
(Prineess Royal Victoria). but Henrv's
VIE Is the daughter OF King Edwards
other sister, Princess Alice.
Yet there is one difference between the
royal cousins. King George is a noted
sportsman. while Prince Henry never has
done much with a gun. and his appear

This was the third visit OF Prince
Henry to England within one year. The
KING and the Kaiser are the best Of
friends also. What has become Of the
political wiseacres who were so sure that
war between the two countries was inmi-

Austria who was seen at the ShOreham

He is an enthusiastic pan-Gernan and

Austria and Germany combined can
dictate 10 Europe. They are the guaran-
tors of peace in the Old World. No pow
er or combinations OF powers would dare
10 embark In warlike enterprises against
the dictum and permission or Germany

are armed camps is true. but it should
be added that they are armed TO pre-
serve the peace. The moment Germany
and Austria should disarm, peace which
is now lowering over Europe would be-
a thing OF the past. and the greatest war
which history ever recorded would at
once break out and deyastate all Europe.
The armies OF Germany and Austria are
synonymous with peace. and the rantings
and rawlings OF all the people who accuse
the German Emperor OF being military
dictator are of no consequence.
As soon as Franz Ferdinand ascends
the throne OF Austria-Hungary the dual

Thirteen Reasons, and May

The report persistently published

Railway Company. is now In New
York for the expressed purpose Of
purchasing the Hooking Valley road,
has created considerable amusement
in the general offices OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road. since nothing
definite of the proposed merger Is
known here nor can be known until
after the regular meeting of the stock
holders of the Chesapeake and Ohio

single intention of bringing back the
Hooking Valley road in his suitcase,
one OF the Chesapeake and Ohio off,

than anyone else, said.
This single intent proposition Is all
news TO me. AS matter OF fact. Mr..
Stevens went to New York for no less
than thirteen distinct reasons, none
OF which. as far as know, was the
purchase of the hooking Valley rail-
way.
