HiS YOUNGEST KING
BY MILTON

LONDON-If Boris Third. tsar of
Bulgaria, comes to America this fall
as announced, Americans will see not
only the youngest monarch in
Europe. but one who Is at the head
of the most democratic people in
Europe.
Boris reigns, but does not rule. AS
a matter of fact, the rulers of Bull
garia today are the peasants acting
through the Agrarian party. Peasant
farmers constitute IS per cent Of the
population. Their wheat and pigs
are the country's chief source of
wealth.
Boris came to the throne when his
country was all shot to pieces. 1t
had been in two wars in recent years
and lost both. The first was when
Bulgaria battled with Serbia and
Greece and was thoroughly trounced.
Then in the recent war Boris faith
err, Tsar Ferdinand. was SO pro-Ger-
mar that he took his country in on
the side Of the Central Powers and
once more Bulgaria was licked.
Son Makes Good
Ferdinand fled. His Oldest son,
born January 80, 1894. was called to
the troubled country's throne Octo-
Der 4, 1918. He has made good.
His Idtner ndQ Deen q llttle auto
crat who changed his title from
prince to king and from king to tsar.
Boris found a parliament in which
the peasants dominated, and was
content to have 1t so.
Ferdinand sent M. Stambouliski,
the leader of the peasants, to prison
for warning him against taking Bull
garia into the war on the side Of
Germany.
Under Boris this same Stambou-
liski is premier and he has the farm
ers back of him.
Ferdinand was always dreaming
Of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT which
meant war with Balkan neighbors.
Boris dreams of peace with his
neighbors and development Of the
resources of his country.
Ferdinand was a physical coward
who shrank from mingling with his
subjects for fear of assassination.
Boris doesn't know the word fear
mingles freely with his people.
He lives almost a monastic life in
the palace, part of which he has
closed up. He is practicing the
economy he feels Is necessary for

charge of beating up his wife. and
in the course of his testimony it "a
brought out that yesterday. accom-
panied by a friendly ease of "2.75,"
beers little brother, he was having
a game of pinoehle with some
friends. When called to dinner by
his wife he was a little slow in his
response, doubtless due to his in
tcrest in the game. The ire of his
spouse was aroused by the delay,
and picking up q pot of coffee, she
hurled fiat Seckowski, who prompt
ly executed a strategic retreat" In
stead Of striking the target for whom
it was intended, the pot of hote coffee
struck the residence of the family
'anary, abruptly ending the career
OF a promising warbler. In turn. the
ire of the head Of the house was
aroused, and ne proceeded to ex-
tract vengeance from his better half
for the untimely demise of the a
nary, the result being his appear
ance in court.
Mrs. Seckowski was unable to de-
eide what she wished done with her
husband and the case was adjourned
until July IS to give her an oppor-
tunity to think Of a fitting punish
ment.

OF the British dominions returned to
London to arrange details for his
meeting with Eamonn de Valera
which may open relations of ireland

would be abandoned. There were
other serious questions to be debated
among them the boycott Of Ulster
