1918 PROVES HARD
IN KING BUSINESS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 1.-THE year
1918 was one of the worst the king
business has ever known. 1t was the
year that thrones tottered and crowns
rolled in the streets. 1t was the big
gest topping of royalty in all history.
King Ferdinand OF Bulgaria quit
Then followed the emperor Of Austria,
the kaiser Of imperial Germany and
then followed the passing Of a long list
of other rulers: King wilhelm ii of
Wurttemburg, King Frederick August
III Of Saxony, King Ludwig III of Ba-
varia, Duke Ernest August of Bruins
wick. Grand Duke Frederick August Of
Schwerin, Prince Henry of Russ, Grand
Duke Ernest William of Saxe-Weimar,
Prince Henry Of Lippe- Detmold and
well there were a dozen of others Of
the German royalty suddenly out Of a
job.
And it is a certainty that had Amer

out OF the fight these emperors, kings
and princelings would still be on their
thrones. And furthermore democracy
would be a vanishing aspiration of the
world. The kings would be In the sad
die and the common people would be

have taken the kings long to have
looked across the Atlantic and we would
have been the next target. Think that
over the next time you have a look at
| your Liberty bonds, the next time you
clip the coupons. Just think of the
year 1918 as the year of the great wind
| that blew thrones and crowns and royal
ermine into the great abyss Of Oblivion.
And then consider what would have
been the feelings Of America had de-
mocracy failed, had the war ended with
a Hun victory and the ships of the
kaiser approached the American coast

The Liberty bonds were the scraps
of paper that loosed the whirlwind
of armed force on the kaiser's hordes.

A Sunday Spectacle.

Trouble with the tribes was well
grown before Il was recognized Dis
affection was ripe, the bucks were
heady, the white mans silver acting
like wine. Few of the braves had
dreamed of ever possessing sums Of
money such as they drew down each
Sunday morning. Richard began to
suspect liquor again. In the Indian
camp Sunday was day of feasting,
followed by gorged sleep; the next
day one of languor, of growing lnco-
hesion.
Richard spoke of 1t to Coronel

With the next wages went repri-

bad Mondays. Richard then issued a

way, they're not tit for burning Mon

won't take the chance Of losing that

"They're not going to quit2"
They've sent word they won't work

Losing one day week! We can't
stand for that. Luck's been playing
into his hands, but this will show him

grily out of the office.
Richard seemed pleased when Mac
Lean made the announcement few
hours later.
His secretary was weighing him.
"What do you intend to do about lt?"
"Call their bluff" grInned Casey,
showing teeth tobacco had not had a
chance to spoil. Boycott them"
MacLean found Wooster ut the river
bank with Tom Hardin. The two men
were watching pile-driver set re-

to supplement the one which had been
bent out of line by the weight of set
