Court Case Recalls
Romance of Royalty

STOCKHOLM, April ga royal ro-
nance intimately connected with re-
markable case is pending in Stockholm
courts against the Swedish crown.
The plaintiff is member of the
Diet named Johanssen, and he is
bringing an action against the Royal
house to deliver up possession of four
letters which Anna Helga de la Brache
gave in 1912 to the then Crown Prince
of Sweden, afterwards King Oscar /.
The plaintiff alleges that King Gus

othea Wilhelmina of Baden, who were
divorced, secretly married again in
Germany and had daughter, who was
named Anna Helga de la Brache. For

tly not permit their government to aid
the Japanese against their own kins-
men. There is no denying that England
is jealous of America. For all this,
there is an undercurrent Of feeling in
England that Englishmen and Ameri-
cans are united by blood-ties which
should hold them together against out
siders.
Fear Rest of Europe.
Britons are chronically afraid of a
great European alliance against them
and there is never discussion of in
ternational politics to be heard in the
country that does not lead up to con-
temptation of such a possibility. Nor
does il ever happen, this point having
been reached. that the disputants fall
to agree. that anyway, in situation of
actual desperation, America would be
sure to come to England's assistance.
The truth is that England would
never have entered into the Anglo-Jap-

Irwin. summer resident, still Island In
abundance.
Miss Irwin, as anybody north of Wa
tertown will tell you, is one of the Thou
sand Islands's oldest inhabitants. And
that is no reflection upon her age. She
was one of the first New Workers to rec
ognze the advantages of the st. Law
renee between Cape Vincent and Alex
andria Bay for a summer home. Long,
long ago she purchased an island oppo-
site the village OF Clayton, the principal
business of which Is to welcome the ar
rival of New York Central trains, and
built a modest little shack which she
and Cecilia LOTUS used as a background
for their professional photographs.
Subsequently Miss Irwin plunged and
erected q spacious cottage of granite and
hardwood with all the modern improve
ments. Being a thrifty woman, she de-
cided a year ago to make her summer
vacation pay dividends. and she opened
her cottage to the public under the name
of May Irwin's Inn.
The inn was a comfortable and invit-
ing place for the St Lawrence fisher
man with money and thirst Some
times, under the soothing influence of
beverages, as mixed by most capable
putler the nshermen would forget to
fish, but would sit idly on the spacious
verandas all day long.
Alasl All this is changed. The village
of Clayton last fall fell a victim to the
prohibition wave that swept over certain
parts of the country. and Miss Irwins
inn is within the village limits. Or
course, there remained Miss Irwin's ia
nous cooking to sooth the tourist and
the transient, but the buxom Coincidence
decided that food alone would not sat
isfy. Therefore, she has closed the inn
to the public. She herself is already in
stalled in her summer home and sends
word that the bass are biting more
greedily than Hackensack mosquitoes
But there is paddock on the sideboard
and the door leading to the wine cellar
is bolted. When the residents of Irwin
Island desire a rickey or a cocktail they
must cross to the Canadian side.

SOME GHOST LAKES
=. AND LOST RIVER

From the Washington Post.
George s. Meyers of Salt Lake City,
Utah, in speaking of the lakes of his
country, said that in the great basin be-
tween the Rockies and the Sierra Neva-
das lie the ghosts of many dead lakes.
"Rivers will flow down to the dry edges
and are licked up by evaporation and the
chinook winds. OF all the lakes that once
lay there, only Salt lake. Lake Tahoe
and Bear lake are left The Southern Pa

stroyed years ago.
akin to these ghost lakes are the lost
rivers of the southwest" continued Mr.
Myers. drivers that flow with all the
swiftness and clearness of other streams
near by. then disappear into the earth as
mysteriously as If they were spirit
dreams. In the valley of the Rio Grande
there are many little rivers of this kind
Just south Of Santa Fe is the River
Hondo, which flows broad and deep for
many miles, then suddenly spreads out
over a sandy plain and disappears.
"a few hundred feet from where it goes
out of sight there is only sand, as dry
as dust itself. Some of these streams end
in tiny brackish lakes, but most of them
disappear in the sand beds. On the coast
of Mexico there are clear water streams
that discharge into the gulf from under
ground channels many feet below the
level of the sea, thought to be the same
waters that disappear further up in the
states. In the valley between Pecos and
Rio Grande, beginning near Sandia noun
tains, is the head of an old river, with
all its fascinating bends. 1t is 200 miles
long and many feet wide, but 1t is only
the ghost river, for there Is no water
there. 1t passes by the ruins of Gran
Quvaria, its bed is strewn with broken
lava, and It terminates in a salt marsh.
The Indians have a legend that long ago
the waters were deep and swift there,
until one day a great fire swept down
the valley, tapping UP the waters, leav-
ing the bed empty, the banks barren, and
the valley depleted forevermore."

CHARACTER AIDS BEAUTY

THE people want them, not that

that the people seem crazy over pretty
girl pictures.
'They. want them in magazines, on the
covers of magazines, in books. on calen-
dars, on posters. It's even hard for the
artist to work man in. The publishers
keep telling how many more copies they
sell of magazine number with pretty

The Cost of War

Ever see batttleship?
There it swings at anchor, out in the
harbor, a monster. hard iron fighting
ship.
Cost 100000.
And in 10 years that s1Oooo,ooo war ma
chine will be fit only for scrap iron.
F or lavish waste 1t is the limit.
Figure the cost OF the expensive en-
gines of destruction aboard, the cost
of ammunition for mere target prac-
tice, the cost of the food, drink and
clothing OF the half regiment of the
crew traii.cd to kill men and destroy
property.
| Figure the cost of the mountains Of
coal needed to move the monster. And
of the wages for the men.
| Waste!
When you have computed the ire
mendous cost of this war vessel null
tiply the sum by the number of war
ships maintained by our navy-and the
navies of the world. And then
Supplement your calculation by visit
to one of our forts. Note the cost of
the buildings, barracks, stables, drill
halls, etc, etc. Put into your estimate
the cost of forage and food and wages
paid the officers and men. Multiply the
sum by the number of our forts, add the
lcost OF our war department and then
guess at the tremendous millions paid in
Europe for land ornaments.
All this in times of peace!
And why?
Because civilization is slow In COM
ing to the world Because nations are
prizefighters, bruisers rather than gen.
tlemen
Do you say the war vessel and the
drilling soldiers thrill you?
Yes, because of the savage that re-
mains in all of u.s.
But, rightly viewed, all the pomp and
circumstances of war is a profoundly
sad spectacle. Soldiers and cannon are
the indices of an immature and cropping
world, cropping slowly toward the day
when the war drum throbs no longer.
War is waste.
1t Is waste of great treasure and preci-
Gus human life. And as the nations
build their Dreadnoughts and drill their
troops they admit they are ages behind
their own citizens, who get along without
killing one another.
However
Civilization grows, and the nations slow
y are adopting arbitration. That white
palace of peace at The Hague is an
earnest of the time when the battleflags
slall be furled
