tempt to leave Elba or ever move again to
disturb the peace of Europe.
Less than a year later, forgetful of all
his signed engagements and his phghted
word, he quilted Elba secretly, landed In
France, marched upon Paris and resumed
the throne, plunging all Europe once
more into war and finally being banished
for the remainder of his days to the re-
mote Island of st. Helena.
There is tendency TO regard Emperor
William in the same light as Emperor Ma
poleon, not as after his abdication In 1914
at Fontainebleau, but as after his defeat
at Waterloo. History, however, which
sees men and things in more just light
and with far surer sense of perspective,
viii have this to. say for Napoleon: that
however much he broke faith and vio-
lated his most solemn pledges, he was one
of the greatest military commanders ever
known who had won his way to the fore
most rank by magnificent courage, and
even heroism, under fire, and that he was,
as far as his own native land is concerned,
a great constructive force, many of whose
achievements endure to this day.
William Only . Sorry General
William, on the other hand, has been
but a sorry General, has never been noted
for conspicuous gallantry, and instead Of
constructive is destructive, since he found
Germany great when he came to the
throne and leaves her, at the close Of q
thirty years reign, ruined, plunged in
misery, discredited, with all the world
against her, and the enemy at her very
doors, battering down her gates.
A revolution in Prussia, such as Presi-
dent Wilson and the Powers of the En-
tente demand as preliminary to peace,
would result in a Socialist Government
at Berlin, which, confronted with the eco
nomic chaos of the people, would quickly
be overthrown as too conservative, much
in the same way as has been the case in
Russia, to make way for a reign Of Boil
shevik anarchy, far more terrible than that
in the land Of Museovy. 1t could not fail
to spread to Saxony and to Baden, where
the bulk of the population is Socialistic
and anti-monarchieal, and to most Of the
petty States, where many Of the rulers
are dissolute, degenerates or cretins.
In Bavaria the popularity enjoyed by
the reigning house of Wittelsbaeh, even
under the crazy King Louis H., who was
drowned while engaged in drowning his
medical attendant, has gone by the board,
and neither King Louis III. nor his odious
son and heir, the brutal Crown Prince
Ruppreeht, retains any hold upon the af-
fiction of the people. The Grand Duke Of
Hesse devotes himself, even in these times
of war, to embroidery, and his kinsman,
the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha,
as well as the Grand Duke Of Oldenburg,
are engaged in perpetual quarrels with
their subjects about money matters.
In fact, the only German monarch who
might be reasonably sure of being retained
on his throne is King William of Wurt-
temberg, who has been sensible enough to
win the good win Of the Socialists in hts
dominions by his liberal views, and who
has always made it clear that he considers
himself to be, not the despot, but the SER
want Of his people.
The sun., 1918-10-20
By F. CUNLIFFE.OWEN.

w Of Hohenzollern, son of the So
called Great Elector of Brandenburg,
crowned himself as King of Prussia at
koenigsberg, making it perfectly clear
that he derived his title, not from any d.
vine source, nor yet from the will of his
people, but from his own might, none
could have foreseen that the doom of his
dynasty would come across the broad At
lantie from a great republic the very
existence of which was undreamed of in
those days.
Nor, when King William of Prussia,
after being elected by the rulers of the
twenty-odd sovereign States of Germany
to be the President of their confederation
with the title Of German Emperor, was
proclaimed as such in January, 1871, in
the royal French Palace of Versailles,
coul Bismarck, the creator of the con-
federation, or any one else present, have
imagined in his widest fight of fancy
that it would fall to the lot of Presi-
dent of the United States to pronounce
upon a German Kaiser the sentence which
is having the effect of divesting him Of
all his dignities and power and degrad-
ing him from the rank of the most auto
cratic Emperor in modern times to that of
an outcast and pariah beyond the pale
Of civilization.
Must Gust the Hohenzollerns.
For in each one of the recent messages
that have emanated from the White House
emphasis has been laid upon the fact that
there can be no peace until the destruc-
ton Of the imperial power and of the I'M
perial Government at Berlin has been &C.
complished and the Hohenzollern dynasty
deprived of the power of playing any
further role in the affairs of the German
nation.
That the Kaiser still hopes to save him
self and his dynasty from dethronement
is abundantly clear. The hurriedly ar
ranged congress of the rulers of all the
sovereign States of Germany held last
week at Berlin under the presidency of
the Emperor was for the purpose of dis
eussing the matter.
That the discussions at this gathering
were of an altogether amicable character
il doubtful in the extreme. The Kings Of
Wurttemberg and Of Saxony have not
been on speaking terms with the Kaiser
for considerable time past, and have
united with the King Of Bavaria in COM
planning that their troops have always
been sacrificed for the sake Of the Prus-
lan on every battle front, just in the
same way that their civilian subjects at
home have been sacrificed by the Imperial
Government at Berlin for the sake of
Prussia in the matter of foodstuffs.
They have openly resented the way in
which their own Generals have been side
u tracked to make way for Prussian COM
manders, for whose shortcomings they
. have had TO bear the brunt, the rsost re-

cent instance thereof being the effort of
Berlin to saddle Crown Prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria with the odium of the ignomin-
ious military failures of the contemplate
German Crown Prince. All the rulers of
the non-Prussian German States have had
much reason to complain of the insOlent
usurpations of their authority and of
their prerogatives by the Kaiser and by
the Berlin Government.
Since abdication is in the air it may
be as well to point out the difference
which exists between a monarch who has
lost his throne through abdication and the
sovereign who has been deprived Of his
crown either by internal revolution or by
foreign invasion. Abdications, no matter
whether voluntary or compulsory, have
the effe,t Of constituting a well nigh in
superable obstacle to restoration. There
would be a certain advantage in permit
ting the Kaiser to abdicate, provided he
was debarred, as was the first Napoleon,
from conveying in his deed Of renuneia-
ton the crown to any other member of
his family.
Some Other Abdications.
King Ferdinand abdicated the other day
the throne Of Bulgaria to his son, Crown
Prince Boris, and has sought refuge at
Coburg. Constantine Of Greece was COM
PEELED to abdicate the crown Of Greece in
favor of his second son, King Alexander,
in 1917. King Louis Philippe Of France
at the time of the revolution of 1S48
abdicated in favor of his grandson, af-
terward known as the Comte de Paris,
who served on the staff of Gen. McClel-
Ian in the American civil war and who
was the father of the present Duke OF
Orleans and Of the Duke Of Montpensier.
In the same way Charles Z. Of France
abdicated in favor of his grandson, Prince
Henri, who died as the Comte de Cham
bord.
The i'll fated Nicholas II. of Russia alb
dieated last year in favor Of his only
brother, Grand Duke Michael, who de-
elined, however, to accept the throne Of
Russia until the people had been afforded
an opportunity of expressing their views
about the matter in a constituent as
sembly. King Milan of Serbia, King
Louis I. of Bavaria, Kings Pedro w. and
Miguel of Portugal, King Otto Of Greece,
King William II. of Holland, King
Charles Albert of Sardinia, father of
the late King Victor Emmanuel of Italy;
King Amadeus of Spain, Emperor Fer
dinand of Austria, Emperor Pu-Yi Of
China and Queen Isabella II. of Spain
have been among those who abdicated
their thrones more or less voluntarily.
King Manuel Never Quit.
King Manuel of Portugal, on the other
hand, has never abdicated and has thus
far resisted all efforts to induce him to
sign an act of remuneration Of the throne
of which he was deprived through the
revolution at Lisbon In October, 1910.
Napoleon III. failed to abdicate in 1870
and for that reason the leaders Of the
Republic of France we're in state Of
continual apprehension Of an attempt to
reconstitute the empire until his death in
England IN 1873.

to build the navy and support it, and to furnish
