WAR MAKES BIG CROP
OF ROYAL SPINSTERS
International Enmities Stop Inter-
marriage Of Germans and
British Families.

LONDON. April 17.--One OF the effects
of war may be to produce record
crop of roYal spinsters.
The number of possible combina tions
in European royalty is necessarily limit =
ed. but with the International enmities
aroused by tho war and the loss of at
least some of the prncelngs. the
chance OF princess changing her name
is now comparatively slight.
In the case OF England. there arc
Princess Mary and the Princess Maud
Of Fife. Intermarriagc between tho
Engl sh and German houses. owing TO
the supply of princes from the smaller
Germanic states, Is traditional. But
that may not now be continued because
Of the bitterness aroused by the war.
Russia has seven grand dukes on the
eligible list. most of them enormously
wealthy. The young and handsome
Duke Constantine may be the more at
traCt've. but Duke Dmitri Paulovitch
stands nearer the throne.
Duke Dmtri's meme. however. has
been coupled with the Cars eldest
daughter. At the end OF the war
treaties between the Balkan states will
probably be scaled BY a number Of
royal intermarriages. But the British
do not look to the Balkans for royal
mates and the Germans and Austrians
can not.

tight position, might manage to move
his force to the western railroad line,
and transport 1t northward. There Is a
suspicion that this Is his purpose. His
force is composed mainly of Indians
from Sinaloa and Sonora, in the north
west part of the country; they are now
many hundred miles away from home,
are worn out by the exertions and the
homesickness of the last year and half
of campaigning, and are reported In a
bad state of mind, ready to make trou-
BILE unless they see a prospect of getting
home again soon. If Obregon should be
skillful enough to get them on trains
and hauled back to their own section,
he might thereafter recruit further
forces and keep the revolution alive in

Faith Is still pinned so far as Wash
ington policy Is concerned, to the idea
that Villa Is the man who can end the
revolution by military methods; and
after that. that he can lead toward a
restoration of something like orderly
government. IF he fails. the whole pur-
pose and policy OF Washington will fail

While the attorneys charge appeal presume that they otherwise they would not have been admitted to practice in Ari- zona; and. knowing a little law. they have that the appeal would be ignomniously dismissed rejected by the supreme court.
