DESCENDING THE KINGS

The return of former Archduke e Joseph, a Hapsburgh, to power in Hungary has met with a storm of dis approval from all concerned, the Allies and the Hungarians themselves. There is evidently no wish to have the taint of former royalty upon the gov ernments that so recently lost their kings. Joseph, be his intentions good or bad, is slated for the exit toboggan worn smooth by his confreres of for mer Teutonic thrones He is not welcome as president, premier or anything that sounds like the head of Hungary.
 We are told that the Supreme
 Council in Paris expects to hear of I his resignation within a day or so Possibly it has already taken place. . We are also informed that he is not going to be entirely cast off but will of the Hungarian army. A new sabi- net is being formed. Thus the man. dates of the Allies are being observed, They stated, several days ago, in an official communication to the Hun garians that the present government must go or fail in recognition, as it was not a popular one and promised to breed further trouble. Withheld recognition spells withheld food and the Hungarians are seemingly willing To Lct at once.
 The distrust of royalty exists in every district of the world at present. owing to the mess which a true Emperor is able to get his country into, so aptly demonstrated by "BilT' Hohenzollern. Dictatorships under any guise are unpopular. It is being proven every day.
 Great Britain with it's King is one of the few exceptions to the rule of democracies. However, on the British Isles, Edward is King in name only. He has not the power of the Presi- dent of the United States and is merely a figurehead symbolizing gov ernment for the Britishe1 to adore. Thus he gives personality to English patriotism. Politics and political opinions may come and go, thex leader in Parliament suffers or benefits from the trend of opinion. The King has little to do with internal or external affairs To ask for his removal would be the equivalent of asking the Englishman to forget his patriotism,

for any honors. He went to do or die, and now that he is home again and working, he wants to forget,
 For the past two years the average pay of a soldier was fifteen dollars a month. He gave up everything when he went to war, and now that he is back, he asks for nothing but to be given a chance to make up what he has lost
 What will the soldier gain by the coming celebration?
 New York spent over half a million dollars for the welconie of It's boys. It erected monuments that are only wood and plaster. They will soon oe torn down and the boys will be for gotten.
 . When the boys were discharged they received a bonus of only sixty dollars. Not enough to buy an outfit of civ ilian clothing! They have laid away no money during the war. They have suffered untold hardships and have never complained.
 New Britain has over one hundred and fifty boys lying in. sacred ground in eFrance. They gave their all With sigh of contentn1ent. New Britain's
  and some not. What is a fitting honor that will be worthy for these boys? From a soldiers vieWpo nt, it is this: Give the boys ns share Of the forty thousand dollars you are going to spend on decorations and parades. A lunch basket spread will do them no good: neither will the badges that there has been so much argument over Show the boys you appreciate them and what they did by doing something worth while Southington has done something worth while. It has put up a monu- ment that will stand for years to come.
 The manufacturers of New Britain have consented to contribute 'S1O0 900. Do. not waste it on things that arc here today and gone tomorrow. That sum alone will provide for a suita ble club house for the boys, and nothing can please them more than to haze a place where they can como together and enjoy themselves.
 Old Home Week is all right for the merchants of New Britain, but dol1't forget the main object: What will the soldier boys of New Britain gain by it?
 The boys were willing to give their lives for you. and many did Are a tin badge and a few cheers all they are td have in return?

Havana, Cuba, Aag. 22, Correspond ence of The Associated PressD With the recent ''7sudden outbreak of cant nibalistic practices by Voodoo wor- shippers, which have resulted in the deaths of at least three innocent chh- s dren and A- half dozen of the Voo- doos, the latter by the application of lynch law for the first time in this countrN's history, fathers and mothers. are living in constant fear that their little ones. may be spirited away by the superstitious negroes to be offered up in sacrifice to "Chango," the god of the "Brujos, as they are called in the Castillian language.
 The Voodoos are divided in various sects, each with it's separate god. The latter include "Babagueye,y god of sickness; "Elecua," god of injury; "Olorrun," god of, misery, and Chan go," the terrible god, to whom human sacrifices are made '.'>

He,was slair by ElecAa, the god of mjlfy," and sscended into heaven from a Ceiba, Or god tree, in the month, of May. 1t is in the month of May therefore, that the 'Brujos'' observe their holy week when Change is expected to makeEa weekly visit to the earth, descending by the Ceiba, his sacred tree, always on Monday z ..t
 The followers of Elecua do not di- rectly offer human sacrifices, although their headers sacrifice the lives of some patients, by giving them pois- onous connections. supposedly mys- terious cure for some ailment, in order to restore to health some other patient Eleeua, being the God of Injury,"@ his followers believe that good can come to one person only through injury to another. ~ NJ
 Voodooism is not. practiced by the negroes alone.

DISCUSS NAVAL AFFAIRS
Admiral NiScOunt JcIiicoc Warns Aus
 tlalians of Necessity of Large

Sydney, Australia, Aug 20, (Corre- spondencc of The Associated Press.) Admiral Viscount Jeliicoe preached a policy Of preparation for war. in some of the speeches he has delivered here while visiting Australia to in form the Australian government con- corning matters of naval policy.
 When discussions take place on such subjects as the leag que of na- tions or the question of limitation of armaments. I trust it will never be forgotten that the existence of the British empire depends absQlutelxs upon the safety of it's sea s.oC s2Eun- ications,' said ViscOunt JHi1ilJ3" at Sydney, where he addressed the navy league. Before the war he said, Great Britain suffered from a lack of insufficient ships to guard the long lines of communication between Lon don and Australia and, he added, lit |. is up to the British empire to see that we are never in want of sutfi- cient policemen ahoat in the future"
 Speaking of the %deadly risks run in the last five years," the admiral said, "one can only hope that in the future sufficient provisions will be made both by the mother country and by the oversea dominiOns to insure the impossibility of defeat of the British navy" - After giving some information to show how long it took Great Britain to prepare for Germany's submarine campaign, Viscount Jellicoe said The lesson l am trying to preach is preparation for war. I would like to say very seriously that it seems 10 me the conclusion is forced upon us that the British empire depends now more than ever upon naval su- premacy.' Leaving Sydney early in July, the admiral started on a months tour to northern Australian ports and of the cost of New Guinea and adja- cent islands,

EBERT TAKES OFFICE.

President Ebert, of the new German Republic, took his oath of office at Weimar recently amidst a grand hurrah from an admiring pop- ulace. The conditions under which he assumed the Presidency, his words at the time, and the implied promises of the populace, were matters with which we should heartily agree, if there were not the suspicion of the Hun still in our minds. The history of many years of misrepresentation and national dishonor will prove a hard thing for the German to live down. His preliminary statements, Of honorable sound, unfortunately are unconsciously compared with similar remarks of the past. The German has "a hard row to hoe in proving his sin cefitg, but when it is proved, he will hood of nations again. t.f
 Herr Eberts new principle of Freedom and Right is in the hands of the people Of his nation. What will they do with 1t? Will they simply throw it as a scent upon the trail of lies and fdeceit to lead astray the other nations, or will they faithfully follow it.. for all to see? We believe that they will endeavor to proceed openly and with far play. They have learned their lesson and are ready to reform. If they are not, they have to believe implicitly in a nation that has fooled us often and broken our faith. But it has our best wishes 10 make good if it can.
