HOW SUGAR MADE CUBA
A WORLD FL DORADO

Sugar. like shoes. we once took for
granted. But procuring enough for
the preserving season was a problem
and sugar speak easles' are stlll not

Writing to the National Geographic
society, William Joseph Showalter
says;
"With sugar production nearly
doubled and prices more than quad
rupled since 1912, one can readily see
why Cuba Is the worlds III Dorado of
1920. and why sugar is its king.
"The Imagination is almost over

MONKEY BITE ENDS

KING ALEXANDER OF GREECE

June, 1917, When His Father
Abdcated in Response TO
Demand OF Powers.

Athens.-King Alexander OF Greece
died here at 500 D. m. Monday, oc.
tober 20. His death was due TO
wounds received when a pet monkey
attacked him early I'm October, the
King being badly INITIATED.
The death of King Alexander gives
rise TO the question of succession To
the Greek throne. Former King Con-
stantlne was reported. according TO
Swiss dispatches of October II. as in
tending TO take advantage OF the sltua.
ton created by his sons grave illness,
by returning to Greece and claiming
the throne.
1t Is probable that the old chamber
VIII be reconvened. owing TO the kings
death, to consider what steps are TO
be taken before the new chamber
meets.
Alexander succeeded TO the throne
OF Greece in June, 1917, when his
father, King Constantine, abdlcated in
response to the demand of France,
Great Britain and Russia. the three
powers which had guaranteed the con.
stltutional liberties of the Greek poo
pie. Alexander was the second son
of Constantine and at the time OF his
accession was not quite "a years old.
Ills elder brother Crown Prince
George. was considered ineligible for
German sympathies.
Alexander took the oath OF office
at Athens in August, 1917, and promis-
ed TO carry out the policy Of his father.
This was said TO have shocked the
entente powers. II soon was reported
that he was at odds with Premier
Venizelos and had refused TO abandon
his idea OF continuing his fathers pro-
gram. Some doubts were raised as
TO the ndyisablllty OF permitting him
TO assume the throne unless he dis
continued what was characterized as
an obstructive policy.
Reports Of lack of harmony between
lated In the sp,ing Of 1920. but the
premier disposed OF these In state
mcnt in which he paid tribute TO the
kings patriotism. One respect in
which the P'ng and his premier were
said TO have been at odds was over
the kings morganatic marriage TO
Mile Manos. daughter Of former
aide-de-camp 10 his father, which Is
said to have taken place In November.
1919. No record OF the marriage was
obtalnable. owing TO the fact that II
was not recorded with the metropol-
itan OF Athens. the supreme ecclesl-
nstical authority of Greece.
