where he and A. I. Sandbo have been
busily engaged in getting the Sandbo
Auto Starter manufactured and ready

ness of Detectives-Oth-
er Democratic Traits

Paris. April 1.-THE late Kins
George of Greece was particularly
averse to being under the surveillance
Of detectives, and he often derived
amusement, when travelling abroad, in
concealing his movements from the
men who We're assigned to watch and
protect him from just such attacks
of an assassin at Saloniki last month.
French detectives tell many stories
of the kings devices to elude them.

sibility for his safety. The king
would from time to time seek ou the
men charged with his protection and
expostulate on the futility of follow
ing him. The answer always was an
tion that the orders Of superiors had
to be obeyed.
One day at Aix-les-Bain King
George was walking along the road up
Mount Reward when he noticed two
men Of the Paris political police shad-
owing him. Here was an opportunity
to play the sleuths a trick. The kins

q few moments he slipped quietly out
a back door. pulled out Of his pocket
a cap to take the place of the hat he
had left behind, climbed a fence, and
got away unnoticed.
The watchers soon discovered their
mistake and began at once a search
for the trail. They found the king
three hours later talking to some wood
choppers on the high cost of living.

ences Of this democratic monarch.

per cent Of all the votes cast.

MEXICO HAS Many
HARD PROBLEMS
IMPOVERISHED State Of Ma
tional Treasury Presents
Big Difficulty.

Mexico City. April 1.-THE failure
Of the Washington government to ac-
cord recognition to the Huerta admin
istration created grave anxiety in the
Mexican capital, a condition which was
noticeable. during the last week in
March. even in government circles.
Under some circumstances Wash
ington's GOODNESS would not have been
SO serious, but with the impoverished
state Of the national treasury COM

row 100, 900. 900 pesos $3.50, 00O, 000),
comparatively simple.
Even the armed enemies of the
government concede that President
Huerta will pursue a determined pol
icy in restoring order, but his closest
personal friends admit his Job is going
to be increasingly difficult unless some
means can be found for replenishing
the national funds. A month after
Huerta was made president there was
not enough money On hand to pay the
expenses of the government for n
but a short period. He and his coun-
sellors continued making their plans,
however, on the assumption that the
money necessary would be forthcom-
ing in due time from some source or
other. But 1t has not yet appeared,
and people are now asking whence it
can be expected.
There Is Of course no denying the
TACT that he Withholding Of American
recognition makes it more difficult for
Mexico to borrow. Local bankers do
not hesitate to declare that If the
United States persists in turning her
back on Mexico. money loaned to the
Huerta government would be a risk
not lightly to be assumed, and that
the possible overthrow Of Huerta
would leave the holders Of the new
