Thueringen regiment OF Uhlans-
The prince is IS years old and lives
with his father in the castle OF Reich

American Girl May BE Queen
The marriage OF the prince to Miss
Stewart took place in Tulloch castle,
war ends with q victory OF Germany
and Austria there Is a strong proba-
biIity that the American heireSs may
become queen OF Portugal
The extinct throne Of the new re-
publican nation OF Portugal Is not the
only one whose possessions hinges d.
rectly on the outcome OF the great
war.
Besides the obvious possibility that
the victorious side may unseat some
or all OF their monarchical enemies.

The Germans and Austrians have not

Next. he modified his army. Tins
kept the majority OF the population
from voting and prevented VenizeioS
the popular idol. from taking the place
