Atlantic City. N. J.. July iS-with ths
vacation period in full swing the mum.
ber Of visitors to the resort during the
past week has witnessed a noticeable In
crease. and with Indications OF much
warmer and clearer weather. the resort
VIII doubtless be well-patronized during
the next two months.
One Of the most popular diversions OF
the season is dancing and many Of the
hotels and cafes, as well as ocean piers
are making every possible effort to meet
the demand Of this form OF entertain
ment
The Hotel Rudolf holds regular weekly
tango contests every Friday evening. Of
fering handsome prizes 10 the most skill
full dancers and on several OF the piers
professional dancers give instruction in
the art OF dancing.
The residents of the cottage colony
have been busily engaged arranging
social entertainments that afford many
delightful afternoons and evenings
Much activity has been recently de-
voted TO yacht races and the various
clubhouses are entertaining numerous
guests
A pleasant feature of the summer thus
Tar has been the total absence OF mos
quttoes. which in former years have
proved such pest during the summer.
The result of this condition is doubtless
due very largely TO the work Of the At
lantic County Mosquito determination
Commission. as under their direction the
marshes in the vicinity Of the resort have
been extensively drained, thus depriving
the insect Of breeding places.
An enthusiastic bird-man Is attracting
much attention in his flying machine dur
ing his hazardous trips through the air
There are many lively scenes along the
broad expanse OF bathing beach and
many Of the feminine costumes are very
elaborately and tastefully designed.
With the return OF warmer weather
there has been a noticeable increase in
the number Of bathers, who are all
equally enthusiastic over the splendid
condition of the water. with its warm
invigorating temperature.
Although George NJ. Cohan's mystery
farce, Seven Keys to Baldpate," has

PRINCE BONAPARTE
MAY RULE ALBANIA
Grandnephew of Napoleon Advocated
by French Royalists to Succeed
Prince IF Wied.
Prince if Wied.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, July ia Bonaparte to the
rescue is the cry which some Of the
French Royalists are indulging in over
the failure of the German Prince of
wied to maintain his rule over Albania
According to the latest dispatches
which have reached here. it is only a
question of days when the throne OF
Albania will be offered by Mussulmans
and Catholics alike to Prince Roland
Bonaparte, the grand nephew Of the
great Napoleon and father OF the wife
Of the heir TO the throne of Greece.
Not a little stir has been created here
by the news. Frenchmen, however much
they may differ in home politics, are nat
urally hattered by the compliment thus
paid to a scion Of the house Of Bona
parte, and no diplomatic difficulty would
be raised in the event of the prince ac-
cepting the honor thus conferred on
France.
Prince Roland has m~de his mark more
IN science and exploration, than in pub
lie life. He had always held aloof from
politics, but his work as president Of the
French Geographical Society has been
valuable. He has travelled much and has
devoted his vast wealth 10 exploration
work. The prince is no stranger in Al
bania- Egypt, Turkey, and the Balkans.

FIGURES NOT PSYCHOLOGICAL. &,
German Writer Data RidIcuIInr
Presidents Statement,

SPECIAL Cabs to The Washington Herald
Berlin, July R-One of Berlin's leading
economists, writing in the Tareblatt
makes short shrift of President Wilson 5
declaration that the existing business de-
preston in America is merely psyeho-
logical"
This statement, the writer declares, is
not supported by facts. The truth is
he says, that an excess OF economic re-
forms, including tariff revision, the new
banking law and persecution OF the trusts,
together with the Mexican troubles and
other political disturbances. has thrown
business out OF equilibrium.
1t is an actual and not a psychological
condition that is bIameable," the writer
continues, concluding:
Another mute testimony to the condi-
tlons OF depression in the United States
Is the falling OF OF $4,000 in the number

Belgrade, July 1S-King Peters virtual
surrender of his throne TO the crown

Prince Alexander is in his twenty-sixth

King Peter is nearly seventy and far

the crown prince has endeared himself
