after Austria had been obliged TO lib

rived in France and ascertained for
the first time that the various Carlist

members Of his party. had sided in the
great war with the Central Powers
who had held him a prisoner. he was
beside himself with anger. They en-
deavored to excuse themselves by de-
claring that they had been led to be-
lieve that he had remained in Austria
of his own free will. and as a guest Of

aside as ridiculous, on the ground that

Don Jaime for Allies.
So that there might be no further
doubt about where he stood, Don
Jaime issued a manifesto proclaining
his devotion to the Entente cause. Wig

OF the Carllst party. espec ally the
Marquis OF Canalbo and Don VasqueE
de Mella, who. he insisted, had been
aware of his views and who had taken
advantage of his imprisonment to pur-
sue policy absolutely opposed thereto
and repudiating them as his lieuten-
ants and representatives; while he
likewise announced that he had en-
tirely reorganized the editorial forces
of all the Carlist press in Spain,
notably of the COrreo Espanol. placing
it under the direction OF Don Fran
cisco Melgas. a man Of letters Of con-
siderable note. and a warm friend OF
the Allies.
Since there can be no Carlism or
Legitimism in Spain without Don
Jaime, who is still unmarried, the In
nuential Carlist party in Spain, which
has always been a disturbing power in
the politics of the Peninsula, has no
alternative but to yield obedience to
his orders, and to renounce its pro-
Germanism. or else to go out OF bust

King and his dynasty, nor even against
the Cabinet now in Office, but against
the national system of government,
which, long blighted by reactionary
bureaucracy and by utterly selfish and
rotten politics, paralyzes all progress,
has no care for the welfare of the peo-
pie and remains an obstacle to every
reform and to the economic growth OF
the nation. No one realizes this more
thoroughly than Alfonso Kill, one OF
the most advanced Liberals of the
peninsula, born and bred to these views
by his mother, Queen Christina, who
throughout her sixteen years OF re-
gency found in the old Liberal states
man, Sagasta, her most trusted and de-
voted friend and political mentor.
Each Liberal administration in turn
has sought to clean out the Augean
stable Of Spain's political and admins
trative abuses but without avail, and
II now looks very much as II some
revolutionary coup would be needed TO
emancipate the nation, its popular and
chivalrous King. its industries and its
trade, from conditions that are daily
becoming more intolerable. A revolu-
ton would not diminish, but increase
the vast import trade from America,
comprising coal, oil, manufactures,
raw materials, and above all cotton-a
trade which, quadrupled during the
war. amounts now to considerably over

that both they and the English Gov

development and an intolerable handi-
cap upon their prosperity.
And now, to add to the general con-
fusion in that Land of the Hidalgos,
Don Jaime has reappeared on the sur
face. after four years of detention in
Austrian captivity. and has reduced
the Carlist party, of which he is the
chief. to a state of something akin
to chaos. Throughout the entire great
war the Carlists have been conspicu-
Gus by their ardent championship of
the cause of the Central Powers and
by their animosity to the Entente.
Germany's army OF agents in Spain
found in the Carlist party their princi-
pal ally. The various organs Of the
Carlist press were wholly at the SER
vice of the Kaiser. and published only
such news as was derived from Teu-
ton sources or colored to accord with
German views. Carlism Is very en-
tensively represented among the lower
classes Of the Spanish clergy and
among certain religious orders-though
not among the hrerarchy-and thanks
to this many a rectory, many a mon
astery and many a convent became
the centre of German propaganda.
The provincial aristocracy and land
owning class, which for hundred
years past has always leaned strongly
toward Carlism, likewise gave it's SYM
pathy and good will to the cause OF
Germany as against that OF the
Allies.
Suddenly there emerges from his
captivity Don Jaime, the only son OF
Don Carlos. the sole hope of the Car
list party. and to whom all Carlists
are supposed to accord the allegiance
due to those whose claims thereto are
based on legitimacy of descent and
right divine. rather than upon the will
OF the people or constitutional obliga-
lions. Don Jaime ever since the out
treak OF the war has been kept under
close arrest at the Chateau OF Frohs-

mother, to whom 1t was bequeathed

There Is still a third alternative,
namely, the subordination of the re-

even then there would be the difficulty
OF reconciling the economic interests
