Kings Must Stick Together

BY Edith NJ. Thomas OF the VigiIantss.
CThis Is time %hen kings must stick to-
gether,"-The Emperor Of Austria In a letter to
the King Of RUNAWAY
crown-it is in truth perilous bauble,
throne-a cobbled seat that goes to smash
When Demos and his fellows start to squabble--
Hark, then, to Karl, the Ready and the Rash,
Who turns off letters with dispatch and DASH
And yet foresees a spell of nasty weather
When all the elements shall round him clash:
This Is a time when kings must stick to-
gether"!
Karl hits the mark-saga cious counsel, surely!
Besides there's comfort In exchange Of woe
When now there's scarce a king that sits Sc
curely.
pity it's that they are scattered so!
VIII no one fix the place where they go
All in nock-tke8e birds of royal feather
Ere storms the People raise begin to blow?
This is a time when kings must stick to-
gether"!
If stick they can! But they are scattered widely:
There's Nicholas-away in cold Sibere;
In Switzerland, where he has been year,
because his freeborn Hellenes made 1t clear
Ne Hohenzoilem liege should brush their
heather!)-
The meeting ground should not be far-but near
This Is a time when kings must stick to-
gether!
o Karl Of Austria, we counsel you:
Since Whelmstrasse ends your shortening
tether,
Why not string of kings take with you, too?-
This Is a time when kings must stick to-
gether"!

Menace In Oriental PoIygamy
Increase in Far Eastern Population a Threat to
Caucasian Race.

Increase in Far Eastern. Population Threat to
Caucasian Race.
Tyler bennett in Asia: 80
The storm center of social reform in Asia fer
the next quarter Of a century Is likely to be over
the relation Of the sexes. If any statement of
the menace of poygamy were necessary to bring
home to American readers the immediaey OF the
subject, some recent statements from the edi-
tortal columns Of the Far Eastern Review would
seem to be suitable. The Caucasian population at
the world Is doubling it's number once In d huns
dred years; the dark skinned races, which cut
number the white population two TO one, are
doubling their numbers every Is years, e
At least such is the case in Korea, where the
most recent figures available. The editor OF
the Far Eastern Review figures out that at the
present rate OF increase the Caucasian element
in the worlds population will have ahrunk IN a
hundred years to scarcely per cent The Orien-
tal demands male children, as many OF them as
he can produce. The editorial in question says:
$50 long as the Oriental man is able to arregate
to himself the right te possess plural wives, Just
so long will polygainy prevail. But there is way
eut and one which is becoming broader and more
easy to tread each year, The wife with foreign
education is a precious thing In China IN the
eyes ef the returned students since sine 10 one on
few women OF bis own race that realizes and
understands his peculiar aspirations. She has
IL In her hands to be the one ana only wife, and
if the few examples that have GENE under tha
writer's notice are any eritsTtan, SHE will exert
that power to the utnaosts

In a month the Allies, by two gigantic
thrusts against the German armies in the
west, have freed Paris from the German
menace; they have opened the Paris to the
channel railroads by way of Amiens, and
they have freed the Paris to Verdun rail
road of the Hun threat.
Today the Germans are reported in re-
treat on several portions Of the front, with
indications pointing to attempts by them
to establish themselves in as strong posi-
lions as possible, particularly in regions
where impending attacks by the Allies
might give them trouble. Readiustments
of the lines in zones outside Of Picardy and
Marine are thus being established.

Mexico Denies
!. 49,: Violation Of
English Rights

Mexico City, Aug. 15.-Replying to
a protest from Great Britain against
the provisions, of the oil decree OF
Feb. %, which was declared to be
confiscatory and in violation of the
rights of the British companies hold
ing oil claims the Mexican govern
ment has declared that it does not
recognize the right of any foreign
government to protest DEGREES of this
nature.
1t holds that by virtue of it's SOW
ereign rights, the Mexican govern
nlent\ is forced to adopt such inves-
tigation as is necessary. 1t suggests
that recourse to the courts would be
the proper method of determining
whether the oil land decree is unjust
and confiscatory.

Don't Disturb Mark Twain

Let Him Rest in Peace, Unless Revelations
Concern U-Boat Chaser.
Agnes Repplier in The Atlantic Monthly.
The recent and most unjusttfiable attempt to
add Mark Twain to the list of ghostly authors
and counselors was based on his alleged desire
to help ruined world. 1t was said that the
spirit Of the great humorist was tortured" be-
cause he could not give mankind work which
would shed enlightenment where now there is
only darkness and dismay'.
If this means that he has formula for an in
vincble and uneudble submarine chaser,
hardly think that Mrs. Gahrilowttch would deny
1t to her country But II the projected volume is
to be only another manual of vague philoso-
ply, vapid admonitions and fantastic statements
submit to its loss and solace ourselves
Clemens did full measure Of work in his life
time, and received his full measure Of reward
The merry star" that danced above his cradle
shone him, fitfuly but fairly, until he died. 1t
were sin and a shame to plunge him into
the murky fogs of spirttualistic revelations.
Granted that he was what his friends called
him-"a mystic at heart; that be believed, or
fanced he believed. in thought transference, and
that he capable Of seeing something strange
and mysterious in very ordinary occurrences; the
finding Of a lost article which had been searched
for vainly while 1t lay close at hand, the pre-
montion of news contained in an unopened LETT
which have all of us practiced at times. But
a mystic at heart may be also author by pro-
fession with a Of values, and a nice per-
ception of the skill that goes into ho6kmaSng.
If anything could disturb Mark Twans spirit,
and bring it stormily back to earth, it would be
the linking Of his name to the volume called
Jap Heron.

be expected to spend it at the rate OF one million
per week. there revision or rather post
script to the statement which, in substance, was
to the effect that said Mulgan had to raise this
$50,000000 himself, or, in other words, that the
needed amount would be under his direct charge.
It gees without saying that If a man can raise
$50,00000O he ought to knew how to spend 1t.
Mulgan is lawyer and before he devoted
his energies exclusively to K. of q. war relief
work practieed his profession in Hartford, Conn.
He resides in ThoTnpsonville Conn. He is
graduate of Yale law school. Among the many
up, the predominating one is perhaps the power
Of organiza ton, His ability in this direction has
been proved by the accomplishments credited to
him as result of his tour abroad. In France it
only required so days for the chairman to put the
entire Is, of @. overseas organization in smooth
working order. Besides contracting for a great
number of f. OF G. huts, he ordered that there be
constructed so barracks and in addition pur-
chased a great quantity of tents which *. OF G,
secretaries and their attaches will use when they
follow the order AS Mulgan remarked to the
writer OF this article THE Knights Of Columbus
win be found doing war RELIEF work wherever
there are American soldiers.
Surveying the vast amount OF work already ac-
eompiished by Chairman Mullgan, it becomes evig
dent that he works by three rules-expedit ef.
ficieney and economy. When he desires that
thing ought to be done he does tired tape cuts
no figure with him. When he does thing, he

council has informally decided to
reject the bill of the Western Elec-

it's charge OF six cents per kilowatt

the company-those for the SUR

DISTINGUISHED AND USEFUL

Wisconsin bows IL reverence ior the
passing of two Of its distinguished
citizens-men useful in private and
public life-Former Governor William
Dempster Hoard, and Charles R. Van
Hise, president of the State Univor-
sity The first named had passed the
allotted span of life, but the latter
was just approaching the zenith of
his powers. Both were brilliant men;
both were noted for their simplicity
of life and character. Neither was
aspiring in other than ways that
might be of material service to their
fellowmen and the rising generations.
Both builded wisely and well for the
future of their country.
President VanHise was a native of
Wisconsin, 81 years old, a graduate
of the great institution he later be-
came the head of, serving in that ca
pacity for fifteen years, until suddenly
stricken.
Governor Hoard was true noble
man, one of the wisest and most use
full and personally lovable men Wis
consin has possessed in its galaxy of
notables. Unlike too many who pass
the zenith of life, he never ceased to
grow in useful wisdom, and he i'm
parted that knowledge and experience
to the very end of his eventful and
serviceable career at 80 years, when
he passed on, but the marked advances
in things material that he inspired
in others will develop and expand as
the years come and go.
The Badger state owes much of its
resourceful conditions to the genius
of William Dempster Hoard-grand
citizen, brave soldier, advanced farm
er, brilliant editor, patriotic governor
and man among men. May he be
crowned in that better world with the
hallow of spiritual life and love which
he exemplified on earth, and which
shall endure forever.
