UNJUST YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOUR
TROUSERS"

In the Wizard of o." Fred Stone
used to sing a most amusing song
about a gentleman who refused to
give his wife any money, so she
pawned his trousers and when he
missed that most important detail of
his wearing apparel, she saucily sang
to him song entitled, Must You AL
ways Have Your Trousers?"
Since that day, we hadn't come
across a good story of missing pair
of trousers until we read this months
Cosmopolitan. If you want a good
laugh, read Harris Dicksons story
''Breeches for Two" wherein there is a
pretty girl, several army officers, an
old negro servant, a dinner party, and
a practically joke-but what's the use?
All the ingredients for a wonderful
amusing story are there, and we adj
wise you by all means to read it, if
you want to have a hearty laugh.
In this issue also appear novels,
short stories and special features by
such world famous authors as Mere
dith Nicholson, Rupert Hughes, Har-
vey O'Higgins, Thomas Burke, Will
Payne, Peter B. Kyne, Dana Gatlin,
Jack Boyle, Frank r. Adams, Harris
Dickson, and a new poem by Edgar
Guest.

Joseph of Hapsburg, the man who
wanted to be King of Hungary but
whose aspirations were thwarted by
the Supreme Council at Paris.
I'VE have not deserved such treat
ment," he said to the Associated Press
correspondent whom he received in his
palace here. 1--WE did not want the
war; he continued: I'VE protested
against taking part in it.
The Germans felt the war was
bound to come, and inasmuch as they
were ready while the other nations
were not, they felt it was best it came
when an opportunity was presented
by the murder of the Austrian Crown
Prince, particularly as it was believed
Russia was thus inviting war
The archduke processes to be unable
to understand why the Allies object to
him. "Of course I am a Hapsburg,"
he said, but why should there be so
much enmity against the Hapsburgs
on the part of the Allies? Is it left
over propaganda"
His adherents argue that the people
of Hungary want a King and that

the Hungarian peace treaty, he said:
1.-The future of Hungary now, with
our restricted frontiers, appears mainly
agricultural, although I am sure soon

The Archduke formerly possessed
three estates. One of these of $4,000
acres is in TRANSATLANTIC which is oc-

headquarters of the Red Cross show
that to some two thousand men and
boys in the southeast the war means
as much today as ever it did in the
blazing autumn of 1918. They are
still lighting their fight, desperate,
bitter fight against invalidism and
suffering, fighting it, too, with a cour-
age and patience as SUBLIME as any
displayed on the battlefield.
Since last November the Red Cross
has been the only one of the several
welfare agencies to remain, by govern
ment orders, in hospitals, posts and
camps. At Fort Mcpherson, the ma

zone of the most difficult jobs is at
Oteen," said a Red Cross man today.
There are about eight hundred tuber-
cular patients there, and tuberculosis
is such a tricky, treacherous disease
that it's hard to make the boys do what
they should to get well. They can't
understand why they shouldn't go
home. and it's part of our job to
keep them cheerful. make them stay
and get treatment, and write to their
relatives so their relatives will en-
courage them to stay. Again, at Cen

Pherson, there are 657 patients, most
OF them surgical cases, some waiting
