NO HOHENZOLLERN CAN
WEAR GERMAN CROWN

London, March 16,--U. n. S)-The
allies are determined to prevent the
restoration Of any member Of the
Hohenzollern family upon the German
throne or the e-Prussianization" of
Germany While this is known to be
the attitude of the allied chancellories
today. no responsible allied statement
will make any pronouncement on allied
policy toward Germany. Nor will any
decisive move he made by the allied
governments until the situation clari-
fies.
The position OF the allies is that they
cannot dictate the sort OF government
the Germans shall have so long as the
government al Berlin does not menace
the rest of Europe. II is politics to side
with the Ebert regime openly. although
Il is no secret that allied sympathies
are with western Germany (the section

olutionary followers of Won Kapp dis
play their true colors and proclaim
them. elves for restoration of the
Hohenzcllerns, the allies will be pre-
pared TO act instantly TO re-estahlish
the economic blockade of Poemrania,
Prussia and such areas as Won Kapp' s
followers may control, and at the same
time extend the occupation OF the
Rhineland and the industrial area Of
Prussia Wi hout her industries Prus-
sia must necessarily wither up.
The supporters of Won Kapp are re-
ported to be working with all their
might at Berlin to influence the allied
representatives. but so far they have
been unsuccessful.

USE THE WATCH AS COMPASS
How the Tlmepieee May Be Employed
II One Should Lose His Way
in the Woods.

What would you do to find your way
If you were lost in forest without
a compass?
F. c. Armstrong, sportsmen's repre-
sentative of the Canadian National
railway'at COchrane, Ont, in the heart
of the summer tourist camping and
fishing country. asked the question.
How would you tell north from south,
east from west? Remember that in
the summer months the sun does not
rise in the east or set in the west.
How, then, would you orientate your
self? It's easy If you know how.
'I.ny your watch fiat. face upward"
said Armstrong. "POint the hour hand
at the sun. The south will be at
point half way between the hour hand
and the figure - as the hands turn
in the morning and backward In the
afternoon"
So IL you go after muskellunge this
summer in the Rainy lake or Lake of
the Woods region, be certain to take
