LONDON, July 1.-THE sport of
looping crowns in Europe that be-
came so exhilirating during the war,
seems not only TO have subsided, but
also to have been followed by its
equal and opposite reaction.
Hungary. though kingless, is by
legislation of its own parliament still
a kingdom. Austria has small but
important royalist party. And Ger
many manifests a strong leaning to-
wards a king, and Hohenzollern at
that.
Constantine has come back, though
the regal supports are wobbly Old
King Peter OF Serbia, who pulled
through the war. more or less, has
found his new kingdom OF the Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes so pregnant with
spontaneous combustion, that he
leaves his son, Alexander, to do most
of the work. Ferdinand OF Rumania
still has his picture on the postage
stamps. but is refrainlng from all
other publicity. And Boris of Bull
garia, answering public welcome
on church festival day m Sofia,
was greeted by bomb which killed
and wounded several persons close
by him.
The thrones more familiar to
Americans are at present having lit
tie difficulty in weathering present
fair winds. In England. King
George has lost by his quletness the
little vestige of power his father by
his strong personality was able to
exercise. His popularity was under
going a slump until the Prince of
Wales came to bat
The Prince is undoubtedly the
most popular person in the United
Kingdom, and n he comes to the
throne. which some people though ad- .
miring him, doubt. he will probably l.
weld a positive influence.
The most stable throne of all. ap-
parently, is that OF Holland. Queen
Wilhelmina enjoys and cherishes the
genuine affection Of her people The
prince consort. Henry of Mecklen-
burg, is not popular. but the Queen
drives about The Hague In her car
with no guard The men in the
streets tip their hats and she bows
pleasantly There was an attempt
not long ago to hold a demonstra-
tion against her, but she drove with
out any guard to the place where 1t
was to be held, and the Hollanders
took the horses from her carriage
and drew her through the streets
in triumph.
