his cry by shouting. Long live King
PeterI'
1t has never been proved that Prince
Peter was directly connected with the
murders Of Alexander and Draga. The
world suspected it,, and half the world
remains convinced OF his guilt 1t was
significant that he seemed ready for i'm
mediate departure from Geneva, where
he had been an exile forty-flye years, on
the day after the murder, or as soon as
the news arrivedThat the regicides were
willing to make him king. He took i'm
mediate occasion to deny his responsi-
bility.
The day after the assassination he was
interviewed in Geneva, and formally ex-
pressed his detestation of the crime, while
admitting that his partisans maintained
a complete organization in Serbia with
which he kept in communication.
Whoever the guilty, the prince was
formally chosen king on June Is, and
on June % he took the train 70. Bel
grade. He was careworn and depressed
when he took the journey, feeling that
a cloud OF suspicion hung over him, and
that his own life was none too safe, 60
ing home as he was to a country in the
depths of distress, rent by political strife
and hate. If there were any comfort at
all in his thoughts, 1t must have come to
grade could not have been worse than
they were. and that he had an oppor-
tunity, so long as he remained a strictly
constitutional monarch, of bringing to his
kingdom peace and prosperity and bet
ter place in the worlds regard
During that journey to Belgrade
Prince Peter must have spent many
questioning moments in recollection of
the past. There was his boyhood in Bel
Dc 70, ka,-. IL - L., 4.
Pesth and Temesvar, his visits to Russia
and his university days in Zurich, when
he was called ''rhe Red Prince" With
shame he must have recalled his spend
thrift habits and designations, and his
quarrels with Czar Alexander III over
questions of pocket money, and later his
quarrels with his father-in-law over his
princely allowance. His marriage with
the Montenegrin princess and the rels-
tions it established with the Montenegrin
and Italian courts must have been
a happy recollection, but he. could
not have felt any Joy in the knowl-
edge that his children had often been
kept away from him because of the life
he was leading. His years at the mill
tary college of st. Cyr, near Paris. paved
the way for the brave part he took in
the Franco-German war, for which he
was given the Legion of Honor. But
most of all he must have remembered the
lazy days that lay behind him in the
pleasant home from which he had so
suddenly been called.
Belgrade gave Peter splendid well
come. But the people were a little dis
appointed in his personal appearance. He
did not look like king. He was small
and thin, and even his fierce mustaches
didn't save him from a certain amount
Of contempt. He bore his fifty-seven
years rather heavily.
The coronation was a brilliant func-
ton, but there were few diplomats
present, and the new king knew all too
quickly that the official world and the
outside nations. with one Or two excep-
tons, had given him the boycott. 1t

Drug Famine
Is Imminent

he threatened famine in the drugs

and in the family practice of phy-
sicisns Is becoming more serious the
longer the European war continues. With
the end OF hostilities nowhere in sight
It is more than probable that the supplies
OF certain drugs will soon become entire
ly exhausted. As II is, prices have in
creased five and tenfold.
America depends on Europe for 7S per,
cent of the drugs commonly used in the
household. With the increased demand
In Europe for drugs Of all sorts and the
decreased production due to the demoral.s

America were the embargoes on shin
ments not in force. As it is, not only are
no drugs being sent to America, but Euro
pean dealers are making frantic efforts TO
get back the supplies they had already
shipped TO America. So prices soar and
soar.
An idea Of the increase in drug prices
may be gained by report of Wholesalers
made public few weeks ago. Perman-
ganate of potash had advanced from
twelve cents to S1.15; olive oil, fifty cents
to seyenty-fye cents gallon; Russian
cantharides, seyenty-fve cents TO four
dollars; dog-grass, six to sixty cents a
pound; codliver OIL (which comes from
Norway, forty dollars to eighty dollars

cents; licorice. six tb twenty cents; qui-
nine, forty cents an ounce to 1925.

fected. The leaves come from GERMANY
and Austria, and the wholesalers are
paying thirty-fye cents a pound more

harmonious effect entirely different from
the usual hard rays Of the ordinary
theater.
When he first began operating the
theater it took three hours to erect It
and an hour and a half to take It down
but this time has been cut to a much
shorter period.
Many performances have been given
in the theater at the Christodora House.
But 1t is the desire of the inventor to
have the various peoples who come to
this house give their plays entirely OF
their own making. Only then are they
to have the use Of the theater. He in
tends that they shall write the plays,
design and make the scenery and weave
and dye the stufs required for the
dresses.
1t is intended that in this way they
yil learn the value Of community work.
The eagerness with which these people
try to do the things that are necessary
for them to know before the theater is
theirs is said to be pathetic.

each week. But when he reached the
age of twelve he was told that he was
too old for such things and had to put
the theater away.
At college his old theater enthusiasm
came back and he and his classmates
played everything from "As You Like

When he left college his people put

live In the wilds of Arizona. But he ran
away TO become a stage manager for
David Belasce, with whom he stayed six
years.
His one great ambition at all times
had been to make the theater something
more than purely business proposition.
He wanted to reach the public that stays

people the assurance that he would faith

Serbians gave themselves. Since that

in Paris as a frequenter of fashionable

to be especially fond of Americans, who

 During 1915 the general markets for canned salmon have been very irregu lar. The stupenduous war has disar. ranged the trade, the transportation and the finances of the world. Lack of transportation facilities, almost pro hibitive freight and exchange rates. together with the closing ofthe Panama canal, have seriou-ly interfered with the prompt and ecomic distribution of the pack. Contrary to general im- pression none of the governments of Che warning nations have purchased canned salmon in large quantities. Only to Australasia have the salmon shipments been made normally and in usual quantities.
 During the year 1915, S2l6,0OO of the bonds of the Association were redeem ed and cancelled, reducing the bonded ind ebtedness to S558,000.

 The profits for 1915 were S559, ,29904.
