UNLUCKY SECONDS"

Sophie E. BEDFORD enumerates some interesting MS
torical facts in the following Jingle in. Cartoons maya
zine:
Some curious facts on which we'd not reckoned
Are found in the histr ny OF Monarchs THE Seconds"
In Great Britain, the last Of the Saxon Kings
Was Harold 1.-THE Second" who fell at Hastings:
King Edward 1.-THE Second" was murdered in Jail,
BY a trick of his wife-and-so runs the tale
King Richard 1.-The Second was, sad to relate.
The victim. likewise, of a similar fate!
King William 1.-THE Second" was also cut down,
While James The Second lost Kingdom and crown!
Charles The Second his brother was felo de SO,
For he killed himself by his debauchery!
Alexander THE Second Of Russia was blown
To atoms by nihinst bombs, be it known!
Bavarias Louis 1.-THE Second" was drowned.
Napoleon 1.-THE Second" dethroned and uncrowned,
Charles 1.-THE Second" Of France was strangled, they tell!
James THE Second" Of Scotland, on the battlefield fell,
Car Nicholas 1.-THE Second" his Kingdom has lost,
Like A. Hamid 1.-The Second" he's counting the cost!
King Manuel 1.-The Second" is deprived of his throne,
And. Kaiser Wilhelm Tho Second" will soon "r.+ hi.
ovn!"
or course, if one is looking for trouble he can US
ually hnd it, and quite an imposing array of misfortune
can De found in connection with other kingly numerals
Take some Of the '"drsts,' for instance. William of Eng.
land vas killed in a rather mean little nght; Richard
was denied the realization Of his ambition "a free
Jerusalem, and spent long months in prison; John. mean
and treachercus, was forced to relinquish the power
which he had welded SO unwisely: Edward died on his
way to Scotland. with that country unsubdued; Charles
lost his head; Mary. lived in an atmosphere of bitterness:
Elisabeth died an old maid: Mary, Queen Of scots, va.
executed; Duncan Of Scotland was murdered by Mac
beth; and Macbeth has been murdered by countless gem
erations of bad actors. And there you IRE.

DENIES THAT HE
SPOKE FOR CHIEF
L. A. Harmon, Superintendent Of
Schools at Yaknton, on
Special Session

Yankton, S. d., Feb. 20-Denial OF
statements made in news dispatches
that he had announced in speech at
Mitchell on February 10 before the
convention Of the South Dakota Press
association, as q representative of
Governor Norbeck, that special "war
session Of the South Dakota legisla.
ture would be called by the governor
early in March was made in state.
ment given out today by L.. A. Har
mon, superintendent of schools here.
In denying the accuracy of the report
OF his speech, Mr.. Harmon said:
~ did not say that was a repre-.
sentative Of the governor I did say
that / did not represent the governor.
did not say that Governor Norbecl1
was going to call special session of
the legislature early; in March or at
any other time"
Mr.. Harmon also denied the state
ment that he had asked the conven-
ton as a body to pass a resolution en-
dorsing the calling Of the session.
A similar statement, supporting Mr..
Harmon's assertions, signed by E. B.
YLle, president Of the South Dakota
Press association, and w. c. Lusk of
fankton. chairman of the executive
committee, was issued today Harmon

the German terms included the reten
ton of Poland, Lithuario. Riga and
Moon Island and an indemnity OF 500,
100000 pounds, it is pointed
out that the proposed treaty will be
in direct violation, not only Of all
peace principles laid down by the en-
tente spokesman and President Viii
son, but of the often quoted Teutonic
declaration Of mo annexations and no
indemnities. However, it is taken
for granted that there will be an at.
tempt to disguise these demands and
deny that they constitute either in
demnity or annexation.
WHAT REiCHsTAG MEANT
1t is fully expected that the effort
will be made to show that what the
German reichstag meant in declaring
against indemnities were punitive ex-
actions and not repayment for the ac-
tual damages sustained through the
tremendous Russian drives into Pc.
land and Galicia in the early days OF
the war. Also it is anticipated that
the claim will be made by the Ger.
mans that their continued occupation
of the western Russian provinces is
not really annexation in the Objec.
tionable meaning of that term; the
occupied provinces are to be held only
as a pledge for the payment Of the
indemnity.
It is realized, however, in diplomat
ic circles that the signing of such a
treaty will serve to strengthen tire
mendously the military parties in Ger
many and Austria, where they have
been seriously threatened by the So
cialistic elements because of the in.
adequate peace arrangements they
have made with the Ukraine.
TO RELEASE HUN TROOPS
AS the treaty must mean cessation
of the Bolsheviki attacks upon the
Ukraine, the German troops which
were to have been sent to the defense
of Ukrainia will be released for west
ern service. Otherwise it is not per
ceived by the officials here how the
compulsory signature Of Russo-Ger-
man treaty can have any further eff
feet upon the conduct OF the war, as
the transfer Of the German eastern
army to the western front has been
fully anticipated by the entente mill
tary commanders, who are confident
OF their ability to cope with the rein
forced German armies.
It developed today that the officials
here are awaiting with the keenest
interest confirma ton of reports that
Turkish and Bulgarian troops in large
numbers are being sent into Belgium.
1t may be stated on authority that
such a movement would have the
gravest consequences so far as Amer
lea is concerned, and that it would be
regarded as justifying an immediate
declaration of the existence if state
of war between America and Turkey
and Bulgaria. -... U.s.

Causes Mo Surnrise


Washington, d.. c., Feb. 20.-An
nouncement of the purpose Of the Boil
sheviki government of Russia to sign
a peace treaty upon the humiliating
conditions imposed by the Germans
caused no surprise in official circles
here in view of the failure of the at
tempt Of the. Russians to influence
the German socialists to prevent an
attack on unresisting people.
WHAT. "PEAcE" HAS DONE
An irresistible demand by the great
masses of the Russian people for
peace had brought about the downfall
in turn OF three successive govern
ments; that of Car Nicholas; that of
Prince Lvoff, and that of Kerensky.
Lenine and Trotzky, according to the
Official understanding here, were fully
aware that their regime would share
the same fate if they failed to respond
to the Overwhelming demands of the
public.
There was danger Of overthrow
from the more patriotic Russians
through accepting degrading terms OF
peace, but having calculated the
chances it is believed that Lenine and
Trotzky decided in the face of the
renewed German advance into Rus
sian territory that their only hope Of
control Of the government
lay in complete submission to the Ger
man demands.
REPRESENTS BUT ONE FACTION
Such a peace treaty as now may be
signed, according to the official view
here, must depend for its vitality ana
legality entirely uron the outcome or
the war. Being made under absolute
compulsion and by what is regarded
as nothing more than faction OF the
Kussian people, the allies in peace
conference would demand that 1t be
disregarded.
sAcceptfnE DIS accurate the statement
credited to Trotzky is mis- report upon
the Brest.Lit0ysk negotiations, that

fronts:
