Still another crowned monarch has been
added to the list of those swept off their
thrones by the mighty tide of democracy
which is engulfng the world. This time it
is King Nicholas, Of Montenegro, who cast
his lot with the allies, but was forced to
conclude a separate peace when his little
country was overrun by the barbarians. 1t
is proposed to relinqush the national iden-
tity of Montenegro and merge it with Serbia,
a contamination which would add to the
strength of both and give greater security
for the future against possible aggressons of
neighboring enemies.

When shades are breaking into light

Shadowy figures saving gas,
