There was once a principality called
Idlewild. the prince OF which died,
leaving only one daughter. Narcissa.
She became the sovereign. Narcissa
from her earliest youth had been a
studious person
The principality of Idlewild was
very like those of Italy during that
period when great poets and artists
fiourished and the practical gave place
TO the sentimental.
Shortly after the coronation of the
new sovereign the prime minister was
replaced by a poet whose verses we're
setting the Idlewildeans crazy. This
change was followed by the repIac-
ment OF the secretary OF war by a lady
who had made a great reputation as a
reproducer of Greek festal dances
Then was the portfolio OF finance CIV
en- to a man whose performances on
the violin had often moved audiences
10 tears. The minister OF the interior
was replaced by a woman whose reci-
tations were considered marvellous.
Thus did Princess Narcissa replace q
practical cabinet by an artistic one.
with the new management of affairs of
state. but few shook their heads and
prophesied that the new departure
would not be successful.
The new cabinet had hardly been
formed when King Wolfgans " of
Tesseblanca sent deputatiOn TO Idle
wild asking for the repayment of
long standing debt due him by the
principally The prime minister re-
ceived the diplomats, addressing them
in hexameters. lauding their sovereign
and welcoming them 20 Idlewild, then
turned them over to the minister OF
finance. who poured forth such melo-
dies on his violin that they were in
raptures. forgetting all about the debt
they had been sent TO collect.
They were about TO return 10 the
king OF Tessebianca when one of their
number remembered that the king
would probably ask for the funds. He
venteured 10 reopen the subject and
was informed that the matter properly
belonged 70 the interior department
and the head OF that bureau would ad-
dress them. Having been introduced
10 her, she gave them one Of Demos
themes orations in the oriental Greek,
Transporting them with admiration.
The embassy departed. too full of
emotion for Utterance, and made their
way back TO Tessebianca. Before
home the spell under which
they had been brought had been dis
solved under the heat and dust of the
Journey. and they knew not what re-
port they should make 70 the king as
TO the results of their mission. After
a conference they decided to tell his
majesty that the government of Idle
wild had refused 10 discuss the ques- |

Freiburg. Correspondence
| OF The Associated Press.)-Few towns

7 OF American tourists bent on visiting
( the beautiful Black Forest.
I From a quiet. peaceful little city,
well equipped with schools, it has
+ become a city of hospitals TO which
] scores of the wounded are brought
daily from the west front, especially
from nearby Alsace. The Red Cross
flag floats over scores of buildings that
once were educational institutions,
theatres and amusement resorts.
Children now go TO the famous Uni
versity of Freiburg for their lessons,
because their own school buildings
now are used TO house the wounded
German and French soldiers. Fully
a dozen school buildings have been re-
Questioned for hospital work, all Of
them being administered by the Ger
man Red Cross in contradistihction to
the regular hospitals of the city. In
addition, every available amusement
hall and theatre is serving the same
purpose. In the auditorium. the gal
lery and even on the stage OF the fam
Gus old ''Festhalle" soldiers now lie,
or. convalescing, stroll in the adjoin-
ing garden that formerly was filled.
nightly at least, with devotees Of
Bacchus.
The Red Cross workers in Freiburg
are proud. and justly. of what they
have accomplished, for the present
quarters for wounded soldiers were
set up and ready four days after the
war began, before mobilization even
was complete.
The TurkishItalian war, one Red
Cross matron explained, taught the
German Red Cross that it must be
ready for emergencies. Consequently
there was on hand a vast number of
gray-painted iron beds. bed linen.
blankets. stretchers, and supplies OF
all kinds.
When the war started everyone in
Freiburg turned 10 and helped. The
scholars in the high schools in one
day succeeded in getting their benches
and seats out of the way and in stor-
age. In another % hours they had
cleaned the old buildings from cellar
10 garnet and on the third day had
carried in the hospital apparatus. 1t
needed only one additional day 10 put
everything in order and stand by for
the first consignment of wounded.
For nine months the fighting has
never been very remote from Fret
burg. and il has consequently been a
constant hospital center. Street cars
run over into Alsace. gather up loads
OF wounded and bring them back The !
official report OF a great battle, even |
though il spells victory for the Ger
man arms. is almost invariably the |
precursor of a big batch of wounded |

times French or English
