 PRUSSIAN UNPOPULAR
 Rivalry and jealousy of power which have always existed between the states and particularly between Bavaria and Prussia, will not prevent the restora- ton of the monarchy after number of years said a prominent Bavarian, all though in his opinion the former Elm peror or crown prince lis out of the question"

German People for Next Sev- eraI Generations Will Resist MonarChiaI Efforts-They
 Have Had Enough
By Associnted Press

Berlin, March 19.-ZThe Kings party in Germany, which is seeking the res toration of the monarchy, has failed to arouse any enthusiasm either for the proposal to put Hohenzollern again in power or for the enthronement of a Ravaran or Wuerttemhurg prince.
 opinion seems to prevail that the re- Nulsion against the old regime brought on by the debacle of war cannot be wiped out in less than several genera lions. Even the men who stood close to royalty before end during the war, with the exception of certain militar- ists whose prestige and influence most ly has vanished, are only lukewarm to- ward the monarchist movement or flat ly oppose it.
 climatic to blame the former Emperor or crown prince for the damages Ger many has endured. except among the extreme radicals and some of the sol cialists, and these generally lay the fault to the old form of government more than to the Emperor personally, or to his associates
 Everywhere in the provinces, throughout Bavaria Baden, Wuerttem burg, East Prussia, Upper Silesia among business men and peasants alike, the opinion is firmly held that Ger many was forced into the war by Eng land and France, and this has tended to keep alive the Hohenzollern popu- larity.

 prominent Bavarian manufactur- CT told the correspondent the "Bavari- ans will always believe the war was forced on Germany" Business men in Baden, property owners of Upper Si- lesia, officials and farmers of East Prussia with whom the correspondent spoke. confirmed the prevalence of this feeling that Germany was not responsi- ble for the war
 "Regardless of this belief, however, the Germans are nat ready to restore q monarchy. said han who was closely associated with the Emperor during tn. war. "Perhaps in 40 or 10 years-yes, then it will almost certainly be re-es- tablished. You say you have heard the opinion that Germany will have a mon archy within 10 years. but believe that is not possible. Not before at least two generations have passed will the people be ready for q king again, and then never for a monarch with great power. It will be a limited monarchy, and very limited. Agitation now is untimely and useless"

The change to the automatic

Historical Pageant

The rural and city schools ex.
pect to present in Weldon on
the sixth day of May a joint pro-
duction of Halifax County's
picturesque history. The page
ant will be impossible without
the absolute cooperation of the
community people in each group.
The hearty support and loyal
service of each town and COM
munity will be needed greatly
in the interest of making our
pictorial presentation of Halifax
County's history worthy of her
glorious past, her ennobling
present, and her future great
ness.
The Pageant has been divided
into four periods as follows:
|. Indian and Pioneer Period.
2. Revolutionary Period.
3. Civil War Period.
A. Modern Period.
Roanoke Rapids will furnish
the attendant water sprites of
the Spirit of the Roanoke, a
chorus, also soldiers and citizens
for the Revolutionary Period.
You can assist to a great extent
by helping to locate and plan suit
able costumes for men, women
and children of the above men,
toned periods. The chairman
of the costume committee for
your community is Mrs. j. M.
Jackson. Report to her at your
earliest convenience what def
mite help may be expected of you
along this line for your Group.
No doubt you can get in touch
with a number of original
dresses, uniforms, hats, swords,
guns, flags, Indian relics, etc.,
that could be used in other pe-
riods than your own. If this is
possible, report same to your
chairman. Other communities
will share with you likewise. In
this way, we can be of mutual
benefit not only to our own Group
but to the County as a whole.
