HISTORY RECORDS
40 ALLEGATIONS

There have been more abdications
than is generally supposed. More than
forty since the beginning of the Chris
tan era, prior to the time the war that
has just ended began, are chronicled
by historians. They We're not all
strictly abdications but in all there
was a yielding of power, either volun-
tarily or under pressure-m mostly the
latter. Two English kings-Richard
II. and James II.-are in the list.
In France abdication has been quite
the fashion. The great Napoleon ad-
dictated twice, and he was followed by
Charles y. and Louis Philippe. Ma
poleon III. was forced from power
Four monarchs of Spain have abdit
cated-Philip V, Charles ", Isabella
H.. and Amadeus /.
Most of the other abdications were
monarchs Of kingdoms that have long
since ceased to exist, such as Bran
denburg, Poland, Scotland the Eastern
empire, Sardinia, Naples. and Tuscany.
Two South American emperors have
abdicated both of Brazil. Portugal LOSE
a Miguel in this way in 1884. and am
other one as a result of revolution a
few years ago. The most noted abdi-
cation next TO that of Napoleon was
that of Charles v, the emperor, which
was wholly voluntary.

poses.

AN -MORTEM
BALM LETTER
PROPHETIC ONE

SIDNEY, Australia, Nov. 23.-(Cor-
respondence of The Associated Press)
Albert Eallin, general director of the
Hamburg American Steamship COM
pany, who is reported to have COM
mitted suicide just before the signing
of the armistice, had predicted disaster
for the German overseas trade as an
outcome of the war. This is disclosed
by the publication here of a letter
which Herr Balm had written in De-
cember, 1917, apparently to DR.. Roth
enau, a privy councillor at Berlin. \
copy of this letter was made public
here by j. NJ. Paxton, a resident of
Sydney, who received it from a friend
in London. In it Balm declared that
whether Germany or England was vic
torious in the war the consequences
to German foreign trade would be dis
astrous. The letter reads in part:
Most of what we read in the news
papers as to our preparedness for
embarking on brisk trade and manu-
features as soon as peace has been
concluded is, l fear, written with the
manifest intention of heartening our
people who are VIGOROUSLY ignorant
Of our actual economic conditions and
all that threatens them
He said that the German mercantile
marine was in "a perilous condition.
and that the bill to re-establish and
strengthen it, which at the time of
writing was before Reichstag would
show no results for at least five years.
In that time Germanys great maritime
competitors, Britain, and United States
and Japan and the neutralS Norway
Denmark and Holland would profit
enormously.
Balm reminded his friend that he
(Ballin) vainly begged Berlin authori-
ties not to engage in unrestricted sub
marine warfare; and he continued:
You and l know that the Amer-
cans are probably the most idealistic
nation on the earth's surface In an
tagonzing America we have done a
disastrous thing. thing which will
throw a cold shadow on our economic
| life for a generation The latter part
of Ballin's letter reads:
"But if | am concerned about our re-
| lations with the United States, | am
still more anxious about our relations
| with Britain. I realize as never before
! that all the increase in our wealth, all
| the success which attended our enter
| prises in the year before the war, were
| owing to our intercourse with the Brit
| ish Empire. Her home ports. her do
| minions and colonies, were freely
opened to our shippers and traders.
! Sometimes l wondered at this gen
crosby, and even called it folly. Is it
| to be imagined for moment that those
old relations will return.
Il am not to be supposed. dear Herr
| Gehemrat. (Privy Councilor) as saying
one word in favor of Britain's policy
! in this war. believe that she en-
tered it from some base motives.
Consider what we are risking. We
/ look forward to resuming our sea
trade. We build our proudest expec-
| tations on this. How are we to resume
it in face of an Anglo Saxondom
which loathes and must loathe our
! presence among them?
But We must beat England. you
/ say. no matter what the consequences.
I agree. All I say is that whether we

unences viii he the same-disaster 20
