fonso called to counsel several promi-
nent men Of the Spanish political Left.
Among other representative personali-
ties there went to the royal palace Pro
fessor Azcarate. Although no publicity
was given to the interviews, both these
men admitted privately that the king
had made on them the best of impress
sions. simultaneously with this royal
move the right wing Of the Republican
party detached itself from the old fold,
made clear its acceptance Of the mo-
narchical regime and formed a new po-
litical party, which was styled the Re
fOrmist party. Everything then seemed
to point toward future Of close CO.
operation and understanding between
the crown and the democracy.
The king, however, If not unwilling,
was at any rate unable to follow
energetically the path of liberalism and
reform, and as far back as three years
ago the disappointment of the Spanish
people had already begun. Then came
the war and the sharp division of the
country into pro-Germans and pro-al-
lies. The king was credited with pro-
ally leanings. He devoted himself to
the relief Of prisoners of war of all ma
tionallties and did very good work,
particularly in locating prisoners be-
lieved to have been killed. He has
been in personal communication with
thousands of families In all belligerent
countries. But when all Is said It must
be recognized that kind heartedness and
willingness to oblige are poor substi-
tutes for craftsmanship.

Yokohama.-Nineteen boxes brought
here by Russians from the United

were found when opened to be filed
with sand instead of Socialistic itera-

The Russians said that they had In
tended to take the literature home for

the pamphlets in the course Of the

PRESIDENT BEARS HIS
WAR WORRIES WELL
Takes Mild Exercise and Reads
Detective Stories For Diversion.

Washington.-If you have pictured
President Wilson carewOrn, haggard
and breaking under the strain OF his
tremendous war problems, change the
portrait. It's wrong.
On one Of his unannounced strolls
from the White House to Secretary
Bakers Office In the state, war and
navy building he gave press men an
opportunity of a good closeup Of
Woodrow Wilson In war mood.
Swinging out from Secretary Bakers
room and down the tiled corridor, the
president had more the manner Of a
man who had Just concluded a pleas
ant chat with an old crony about moth
ing In particular than Of a nations
leader who had just discussed a vital
world problem.
Clad In snowy linen coat and trou-
sers, a fat topped, broad brimmed
straw hat set squareiy on his head, the
president moved at brisk pace toward
the stairway. There was spring In his
step. His smile was genial, his cheeks
ruddy with the glow Of health.
Realizing the vital importance Of
keeping himself fit, the president Is
exceedingly careful to play with his
work. Early every morning, long be-
fore most WashingtOnlans are so much
as turning over for their pre-getting up
nap, the president Is out in his knick-
erbockers and of around the golf
course. Mrs. Wilson usually accompa-
MES him.
Golf, walking and other mild forms
Of exercise take care Of the presidents
physical health. For mental diversion
and rest he turns from the problems Of
war to intricate, complex and quite
thrilling detective stories.

Barcelona, spain.-Five years ago a
Spanish republic was but wild dream
IN the minds of a few irreconcilable
extremists. The Republican leaders
had no prestige whatever in the coun-
try at large, and their following was
being reduced to a mere handful. The
causes Of this were, of course, many,
but everybody agreed that among them
the personal influence of the king was
paramount. That young sovereign
seemed to be chosen by fate or Provi-
dence to gather around him all sections
Of his people and lead them united to
great destinies. Today things have al
together changed. This is no exagger-
alton, but the naked truth plainly
stated.

Berlin, via London. - Germany's
trained police dogs are proving Of value
In running down violators Of the food
laws. Near Berlin the dogs located q
man who had been pilferlng from vege-
table patches Of truck gardeners, lead
ing officials to the house where the
stolen vegetables were hidden.
In Munich q constable attempted to
seize a man caught with nfty pounds
OF meat from an Illegal slaughter
house. The man escaped, leaving the
burden behind. but was tracked to a
hayloft by police dogs. When the off,
Ger returned to the spot where the
meat was left he found the meat gone.
The police dogs were again summoned
and located It In house where 1t had
been hidden by a woman. When
brought TO court the meat speculator
pleaded he was without funds. The
court was inclined to doubt the story
and, suspecting the meat smuggler had
hidden his purse In the hayloft, again
requisitioned the police dogs, which
found the mans pocketbook well nIled
with currency hidden In the hay.

himself to be a ruler with an open

his undeniable qualities as an all round

crop profitable one for the farmer if
the farmer can produce the wheat. Con-
gress has fixed the minimum price at 81
per bushel between July l, 1918, and
May l, 1919. This will insure the farm
er who sows wheat this fall that he will
receive at least 81 per bushel for his crop
next year aud gives him about 10 months
in which to market it. 1t is also proba-
BILE that the government will fix mini
