"Cabbages and Kings. u

The Spanish Ambassador officially
denies that King Alfonso is in dan

He is not to walk the plank like
Nicholas and Constantine. Spain Che
avers), is not yet ready to cast aside
her regal trappings and join the fast
growing ranks of democracy.
He cannot deny, however, that the
revolutionary ferment is at work. It
is a contagion which cannot be de-

Middle Ages, it spreads under the
noisome miasma of war; 1t is a dis

Minister Terestchenko told Mr.. Root
that Russia cast of her cruel autoc-

Of revolution it fell like leaves in

revealing a universal truth. There is
nothing solid, nothing final, about
governmental power anywhere except
popular opinion. Stripped of public
support, 1t is nothing without a mill
tary prop, such as Car Nicholas and
Kaiser Wilhelm have always had at
their beck and call. The army de-
serted the Czardom; therefore the
Czardom fell. The German army, de-
spite tradition, despite the flourish
and pomp Of militarism, is essential
ly a civilian army. and sooner or
later the scales will drop from its
eyes. When that day comes, the
Kaiser will begin to think of EIba and
st. Helena as excellent summer and
winter resorts.
The British royal family, of the
house Of Hanover and German-bIood-

Its German names. For generations
there has been an intermarrying
among the royal families of Europe
which has kept the reigning house
OF Britain from becoming Anglo-Sax-

time has come, according to II. G.,
Wells when it must either marry into
the British aristocracy-or perhaps
even into the British commons-or

The War Situation a. Pershing
Finds Il.

1t Is significant that the German
general stan is now concentrating the
fury Of its counter attacks on that
sector Of the French front upon which
the American expeditionary force will
in all probability be placed when 1t
reaches European soil. PershinR and
his men are to operate under Petain.
and undoubtedly will be thrust into
the tight at point where a new ac-
cession Of man power will yield its
greatest fruitage OF results.
The curtain has been drawn over
the Flanders front temporarily. 1t
Is clear, however, that the Germans
have abandoned their hitherto con-
sistent program of counter attacks
against the forces OF Sir Douglas
Haig. Whether this is done for STRAIT
egic reasons, or whether they are
postponed in recognition Of the over
whelming preponderance of gun
power and man power which the
British now possess, is a question
which only Hindenburg and Luden-
dorm can answer. The only certain
thing is that the Prussian in Flanders
and Northern France is now utterly
on the defensive, while the British
are preparing a new stroke which
will have as its ultimate offensive
Zeebrugge and Ostend, the Belgian
ports which the Germans are now
using as submarine bases.
A combined land ard sea attack
on Ostend is by no means impossible.
II the Flanders offensive progresses
consistently, indeed, it is inevitable
The Germans are apparently content
to be the anvil against the British
hammer. On the Rheims-Soissons
salient to the south, however, where
the French have been quiescent since
Niyelle was deposed, the Germans are
trying to turn the tables, making
themselves the hammer and the
French the anvil. The object, un-
doubtedly, is to reduce further the
waning French man power and create
pessimism in Paris. 1t was in no idle
mood that Joffre made his fight in
Washington for an American expedi-
tionary force without delay.
The Americans are going to the
aid of the French. 1t may well be
that they will become the very spear
head of the French forces. They are
picked regular troops of the American
army, ranking among the best pro-
fessional soldiers of the world. Small
in number as they are, they form but
the nucleus OF the forces that will
soon be sent, and it must not be for
gotten that there are five months Of
excellent fighting weather remaining
for operations in France.

Plans to Gain Control Of
Merchant Marine Now
and After War

Amsterdam. Oct. 24-The Germans
are attempting to obtain control of
the Dutch mercantile marine feer
during and after the war; Holland
having no iron and steel for ship con-
struetion and repairs is obliged to o..
sain these materials from Germany.
The conditions imposed by the Ger
mans place Dutch shipbuilders and
owners wholly at their mercy.
All Dutch shipyards receiving Ger
man iron or steel under contract with
German firms must make report of ali
details connected with the ship con-
struetion or repair work and state
the ultimate destination of the yes
sci. Should dispute arise as to the
Interpretation of the contract, the
Dutch shipbuilder or owner mus
bind himself to accept the decision
not Of Dutch court but of the Ger
man court at Essen.
Not content with this, the Germans
insist that ell Dutch shipbuilders ano
owners receiving German iron and
steel shall sign contract running for
five years after the war ends that
they win not sell any ship withou,
giving Germany the right of refusal
and that for FIVE years after the wa
they will not allow any of their ships
| to be employed directly or Indirectly
for the benefit of any of Germany's
present enemies. The Dutch govern
.nent iron and steel committee has
advised ship owners not to accept
these last two conditions.
No ship is to be repaired with Ger
| man iron or steel by any firm on the
herman blacklist, but the German
are prepared to waive this prohibition
on condition of a generous subscrip
