! London, England, June 15.-The re
cent appointment of Prince Alexander
of Teck, Queen Mary's brother, as gov
| ernor general of Canada, has not met
with the hearty response in the Domin
| ion which royalty had expected to see
In naming the blue-bIooded Alexander
the wishes of Canada were not consult
ed. and the defiant opposition of many
Canadians to the appointment may
make it necessary for the prince to
resign. His duties are scheduled to
begin in October.
Queen Mary assembled the throne
with the idea that as many places of
importance in the government as posi-
BILE should be kept in the family"
The best was none too good. in her
opinion. for royalty. She began to plan
with regard to the pie she would have
passed out to her relatives. The -ap-
pointment of the royal duke of Con-
naught to be governor general of Can
ada was in accordance with this pol
icy, which she forced upon the gov
eminent as soon after King Georges
accession as she could get the king
to lend his support TO it.
1t was said at that time that Queen
Mary had in view then the later APP
pointment of one OF her brothers. The
duke of fTeck, who married the sister
OF the duke of Westminster, was men
toned as Connaught's probable sue
cessor. He might. indeed, have been
accepted by the Canadians. He is
man of some ability, having served in |
the diplomatic corps with distinction, !
while the fact that his wife is non 1
royal. but still belonging TO the old |
would have been in his |
favor with the Dominion.
The queen considered his nonroyal !
a bar 10 his eligibility in
out her plans. She accord
ngly insisted upon the nomination of
Ter younger brother, Prince Alexander,
Who married King Georges cousin.
Princess Alice of Albany The cabinet
ook a decided stand against the APP
ointment, but the queen insisted 10

boy in the shop. Later the shop WON
an learned the identity of her royal
customer and she promptly hung out
a sign announcing that her shop pur-
veyed to the royal family of Denmark.
During the late motor show the king
evinced keen interest in the display
of American motor cars and when he
bought so lottery tickets he expressed
the hope that he would win an Amer
lean car.
The Danish policemen are threaten
ing to strike because the new women
police are started out at greater sal
airy than male novices.
The women police have been ap-
pointed to deal with delinquent and de-
fective women and children and the
new appointees are to receive $500,
more a year than regL\lr men police
when they first enter the service.
If the strike should occur the police
chief will probably use the new
women police as strike breakers by
putting them on the beats of the strik-
ers.

said the kind old lady who had owned

The children were wildly happy with
their new possessions. They called in
their father to help, and together a
very flne up-to-date rabbit house was
liked for them out of an old dry goods
box, while netting was put around the
box 90 fence in a tiny yard for the
new pets. A basin of water was set
te1nptingiy IN one corner and some fresh
green lettuce and new cut grass were
put nearby.
Now l guess there isn't anything
else we can do for them" said the old

comfortably they settle down in the
corner of the box?"

SAID the second little girl, i wish we
could just stay here all night and watch

But OF course they did have 10 20

little rabbits didn't do anything in the
night, anyway. They just slept p-ace-

but DR.. Solf, secretary for the COLO
MES, made such a convincing defense
of the proceedings that the reichstae
passed the appropriations called for b.
a large majority, only the socialists
voting against them.
Another phase of the controversy
has arisen. Recently the German CO
lonial government arrested Rudolph
Bell, chief of the Dualas, on charge
of treason. 1t was alleged that ne
went into the interior 70 foment an up
rising against the Germans with
view to attaching Kamerun to the ad-
jacent English colony of Nigeria In
connection with this affair another ar
rest has just been made at Berlin.
A native, sent by the Dualas to Ger
many to present their case to the
reichstag. has been sent to prison, and
1t is understood he will be sent back
to Kamerun for trial.
Plans are under consideration for
three new underground railway sys-
TENS in Greater Berlin, at an estima-
ted total cost of s6O,oOo,o0O. One line,
from the northeast to the southwest,
touching at the Royal opera house,
probably will be built in the near fu-
ture. The other two are not yet be-

newald, pass under the Brandenburg
gate and Inter den Linden, and then
branch off to the southwark. The 9TH

way both to the north and south. 1t
would connect the southern suburbs
directly with the main lines of the
city.
1t is announced that the five years

FOREIGN NEWS

Berlin, June 15.-The socialists and
other liberal parties in the Prussian
diet are protesting against ''the long
unkept promise of the king"
More than six years ago the en-
peror, as king of Prussia. declared it
TO be his desire that a modern fran
chise system be established in the
state. to take the place of the existing
three-class, non-secret ballot, which
Bismarck once termed the most in
iquitous system in the world" Since
Chancellor Won Buelow presented the
kings desire to the diet, only one at
tempt. and that wholly unsuccessful,
has been made by the government to
carry out the kings wishes. Minister
Won Loebell, the new incumbent of the
ministry of the interior, now announc-
es that he does not propose to present
any measure this year for alteration
of the voting system.
The liberal parties had hoped better
things from Won Loebell, who was
Won Buelow's right-hand man when the
latter was chancellor and who was in
office when the kings wishes were
made known to the diet. The conserv-
atives are greatly pleased with Won
Loebelrs stand, and the more so since
they had feared possible liberal ten

The little village of Crina, near Bit

official survey showing it to be the geo

a monument to proclaim the fact.
Copenhagen, June liking Chris
tan has decided that the newest of
his newest residences shall be furni-
shed in American style in every detail.
He will not initiate the home of the
American multi-millionaire. The style
he has selected to copy is that of the
simple and efficient equipment of the
average American home. He has long
been an admirer of the American arts
and convenience of home-making and
he has insisted that his newest house,
which is situated on the Skaw, will
lack none of them.
The excuse for so many residences
as King Christian has in so small
country as Denmark is his fondness for
keeping in touch with his people,
which. he maintains, he cannot do bet
ter than by living everywhere.
The king maintains an elaborate en-

most simple style. No ruler in Europe
