Princess stephane and Prince Budi of windisehGraeta

Amsterdam, Feb. 14.-(SpeCial.)-
A Vienna newspaper just received
publishes an interesting story in
which two Of the royal children of
Austria figure in a very human and
realistic Babes in the Wood" ad-
venture The two tots are Princess
Stephanie and Prince BUdi. youngest,
children of Princess Elizabeth of
Windisch-Groetz, daughter of the
Princess Stephanie of Belgium (the
Countess Lonyay) and the Inflated
Archduke Rudolph, only son Of the
late emperor of Austria.
The children had gone to spend
Christmas at their fathers country
seat, the castle of Ploschkowitz. One
afternoon they were out walking
with a nurse and began plying her
with questions as to where their
father was. She explained to them
that he was fighting in Italy and
would come to see them again when
the war was over. Satisfied, they
ran on ahead of her along the road
and in a short time were out Of
sight.
Unable to find them after a brief
search the nurse fled back to the
castle and spread the alarm. The
household turned out in search of the
children, but for twenty-four hours
no trace Of them could be found.
A gamekeeper finally ran across
them in the depth Of a wood on the
estate locked in one another's arms
and fast asleep. They were none the
worse for their adventure and food
soon checked the walls which had be-
gun when the gamekeeper awakened
them.
They told their mother they had
gone to look for their daddy.

"A. c. Townley, President"
In launching the new weekly organ
for North Dakota, the National Non
partisan league is taking the first
step in a policy that has been found
necessary since the removal of The
Nonpartisan Leader from Fargo to
st. Paul. While The Leader was
published In the state, 1t was sue
cessful in keeping local issues we'll
to the fore, but the removal of the
publication to St Paul, where 1t was
obliged to serve the national field,
made ii impossible to concentrate on
the state situation.
Other Publications.
A weekly paper similar to that now
launched in Fargo will be establish
ed in Minnesota at once, and very
soon one will be established in South
Dakota, and another in Montana.
Members Of the league, II is under
stood, will be favored with copies of
both the national and state editions.
The NOnpartisans are just now
engaged in an intensive campaign in
Minnesota. Their schedule calls for
a total Of about 5000 meetings. and
they are using their best organizers
and speakers in an effort to capture
the state government.
Tbre will be no let up in the
league drive in that state, despite the
rather interesting experiences the
various organizers and speakers are
having in several communities.
When the Minnesota campaign IS
over. the guns will be turned on
North Dakota. and this state will
witness a drive Of no less intensity
than that being experienced in Min
resota.
There IS a great deal Of gossip as

| During the recent special session
Of the legislature, the story was cur,
rent that Mr.. Townley and William

cited az suggesting the substitution

however, that Mr.. Frazier viii be

little or nothing to the reported diff
ferences between Mr.. Townley and
Mr.. Lemke on that point.
The post OF lieutenant governor is
entirely uncertain, except that A. T.
Kraabel, present incumbent, will not
be recognized by the league peo-
pie.
State Auditor Karl Kositzky may
be endorsed for reelection although

he was beaten in the contention that
the justices were not entitled to the

misuse Of government funds.
The President also directed the
attorney general to work in con-
junction with Chairman Hurley, Of
the shipping board, in his investi-
cation. About $42,O0O,000 of gov
eminent money has been involved
in the Hog Island project in which
the American international corpora
ton, headed by Frank A. Vanderlip,

The Hog Island shipyard on the
Delaware river, near Philadelphia,

can, of Wisconsin. on the floor OF the
house that through laxness in the
letting Of the contracts the Ameri-
can International corporation and
its subsidiary were placed in posi-
ton TO loot the treasury Of millions
of dollars.

mat passed away while virtually in
his sleep at government house, in
the presence Of Lady Spring Rice
and their children, Betty, aged II.
and Anthony, aged 3 years.
Sir Cecil had complained of not
| feeling well and DIR. Thomas Gibson

night but the patient expired from
heart failure not long after he ar

for some time and his last public
appearance while ambassador was
made when he delivered an address
before the Canadian club, here, on
the diplomatic side of the war.
