Many Times a King

1t was suggested above that Herr
SHINES has no title. That is not
quite accurate. He is a king; he is
more than that; he is a whole college
or chapter of kings rolled into one.
He is coal king, railroad king, steam
ship king, lumber king, woodpulp
king, celluloid king, newspaper king.
Ut will be seen below that the very
sequence of these titles has its sig
niticance.) He is also a deputy to
the new German Diet, where he is a
member of the German Peoples
party. That is to say, he is a men,
ber of the party much in the same
sense as Mr. Rockefeller is men,
Der of Standard Oil. He does not
belong to the party; the party be-
longs to him. Nominally he is
member; actually he is ''It."
Among his many kingdoms he re-
CARDS coal the most important. the
very foundation of his reign. II build
on coal" he once in the days before
the war said to an American news
paper correspondent. From coal
you go The meant, Of course, II go"
to iron and steel, and then to vari-
Gus industries, to ships and COM
merce; and coal will lead you to for
ests, to wood pulp and paper" There
he modestly stopped, emitting to add,
"and from paper to newspaper;
but there can be no doubt that even
then he had in mind what the COM
mand of country's paper supply
implied. To-day he commands the
paper supply of Germany; he owns
forests and mills; he owns printing
presses; he owns about sixty dailies;
and he is thus majority stockholder,
so to speak, of German public opinion.
This is not mere way of speaking;

Whirligig of Time

But not for gold alone, such Is
the popular conviction, did he betrav
his country. Once, in his young
days, Nicholas was adored by his
own and the adjacent Slavic peoples.
Highly gifted, of imposing presence,
with a power of fascination that
took mems hearts by storm, he in
carnated the South Slav idea. His
song Oman onamo' (Yonder,
Yonder, Behind the Hills) voiced
the secular Serbian horror of the
Turk, the secular determination to
free their kinsfolk from that ac-
cursed yoke, and to this day it is
almost the national anthem of Jugo-
Slavia. All eyes, at home and
abroad, looked to him; all felt that
if ever union and liberty were to
come he was the man that would
compass them. 1t was in the bad
days of Milan, when Serbia lay
under cloud. Then, bit by bit, the
situation changed. For one thing, as
the worst sides of his character
showed themselves the affections of
his subjects began to cool.
"F'or another, Serbia was gradual
ly growing in strength and honor,
gradually asserting her claim to the
position of headship that rightfully
belonged to her. Meanwhile, he piled
up wealth untold; he married his
pretty daughters to grand dukes,
princes, crowned heads, and his am
bitions, instead Of accommodating
themselves to altering circumstances,
grew and grew. His assumption of
the kingly title in 1910. smiled at
by Europe, was an abomination t.
his subjects. There was no room,
they felt, for two kings in a united
Slavdom. 1t was an attack on the
very idea of unity, bid for the
position into which the King OF
Serbia had slowly and automatically
stepped.

will maintain that Ruth is far
worthier of idolatry than many other
sporting idols.
Observe this point. You seldom
hear of Babe Ruth quarreling with
the umpire. I know of other baseball
heroes who have wrangled with UNI
pires when they were in the wrong,
knowing that the mob would be with
them and against the umpire. Ruth
has the native sense Of fairness not
to do this. That in itself is a big
thing in a game where there is not
great deal of the spirit of fairness.

TIME reason that Babe Ruth
H. can hit ali pitchers and hit
them harder than any player?
1t is not his enormous strength, his
keen eye and his baseball cunning.
Many players have possessed either
or all of these to the same degree as
Ruth. 1t must be the perfect coor-
dination of eye, mind and muscle, the
reflex, some have called it.
This is not something that can be
developed, for many have tried. Jins
Thorpe, the Indian, the greatest all
around athlete in the world, had a
stronger physique than Ruth, as keen
an eye and as keen mind. But jim
Thorpe, though he willed it with all
determination, could not become even
a passable big league ballplayer
With all the attributes of great hit
ter, he could not hit.
The verdict when they passed him
to the minors was that he was a
sucker for curved ball" Babe"
Ruth has an uncanny instinct for

most striking picture I ever
saw of him was at Cleveland, during
the series there.
Ruth has one defective knee, a
knee that Sips out of joint every

bites at the arrows in a blind rage.
He tears at his own smarting flesh

much like that wounded grizzly.

You who have watched Ruth swing
will appreciate the difficulty of this
feat. He swings with every muscle
of his body. All his weight is be-

players who can check the swing,
and only Ruth's power that could

Shortly after Mr.. Steen commenced
this work his left side and hip COM
menced to pain him and on Novem-
Der 10Th he had to give up work on
account of the pain. On December
Sth, as he was no better. he consulted
DR.. A. A. Stotts of WoolWich, who
advised a period of rest. Acting on
the advice of his physician Mr.. Steen
did not return to work until March
2Srd, 1920, since which time he has
lost no time because of the injury.
At the time of the injury Mr.. Steen
was earning an average weekly wage
of s26.76.
In his testimony DR.. Stotts stated
that the injury was probably due to
the unusual pressure of the machine
on the parts of the bodJ affected to-
sether with the constant vibration OF
the reamer. When asked if he could
account for the injury any other way
he replied that he could not.
