RETURN
GERMAN MONARCHY
Bavarian Prince Gives
Present Government
Less than a Year

LONDON.-The Sunday Express
prints what it declares is the first
exclusive interview given out since
the revolution in Germany, by the
former Crown Prince Rupprecht of
Bavaria who is regarded as Ger
many's future ruler If the mon
archists succeed in their present
plans. In his interview the Crown
Prince said:
"Germany's financial breakdown is
imminent and will probably lead to
constitutional changes. l do not be-
lieve the present regime can last for
another year, because everywhere the
population is becoming increasingly
dissatisfied with the present govern
ment.
"In Bavaria the feeling in favor
of monarchy is growing daily, but
the change will not be made immed-
lately because of the rivalry between
North and South Germany, which Is
especially taking the form of dynas-
tic and religious intrigues. A mon
archy could be proclaimed in Bava-
ria but it might lead to trouble in
the rest of Germany. And this must
be avoided. We do not want Bavaria
to be separated from Germany.
Monarchy is not synonymous with
militarism. For my part, would alb
olish even the present reduced army
because it is too expensive and for 1t
1 would substitute the militia. The
Swiss system Of mercenary armies
is running Germany"

AS the time draws near for the
meeting of the newspaper men in
their after-Thanksgiving jollificatfon
of next Tuesday evening and We'd
nesday morning, the indications are
that it will be one of the biggest
editorial meetings that Idaho has
ever had. The campaign is over, the
legislatures have not yet met and
the only drawback to attending the
meeting is that it comes on Tues
day and Wednesday, whereas the
favorite days for editors to meet are
Saturday and Sunday. The hotels are
so full that Tuesday and Wednesday
were selected as the best chances
for accommodating them. The hotels
at Pocatello are always crowded on
Saturday and Sunday and Tuesday
and Wednesday were selected as the
best days for publishers to meet If
they did not take the weekend date.
OF all the different subjects on the
program to be discussed, the one that
is arousing the most interest and
attracting the most attention Is the
subject of competition and consoli-
dation of newspapers. That seems to
be the one big subject that all OF
them want to be enlightened on and
plenty of them seem willing to talk

"a great nation has demonstrated
that it is not dependent on revenue

part of their institutions from the
lack of buying.
"Derelict public officials schooled
in corruption under saloon domina-
ton and still permitting a wave of
crime in some places are being un-
covered and driven into a half
hearted action for law enforcement.

WASHINGTON.-Major Genera
George O. Squire, chief signal Of

During the year quantities oi
Photographic material was declared

General Squire in his annual re-

sales have been made to hundreds OF
individuals thruout the country"
In other words" said General
Squire the sale was conducted along
the lines of a mail order business and

great scarcity of print paper and

consolidation of newspapers seems to
be the only bright prospects for
