Next morning at daylight two par

In one party were Harry Needles car

Abe with u saw and ax and a small Jug
OF root beer and a book tied I'm a big
red handkerchief and slung around his
neck. When they reached the woods
Abe cut pole for the small boy and
carried him on his shoulder TO the
creek and said:
Now you sit down here and keep
order in this little frog city. II you
hear frog say anything improper
you fetch him n whack. Don't allow
any nonsense. Wen make you mayor
of Frog CITY,"
The men fell to with axes and saws
while Harry llmbed the logs and
looked after the mayor. Their huge
muscles flung the sharp axes into the
timber and gnawed through Il with
the saw. Many big trees fell before
noon time when they stopped for lunch

Il reckon we better saw out few

FOR MONAR CF1ISM

Great prominence has just now been

council against the liberty of in

in Switzerland. The Vienna govern

Even the formation of a new roy

In fact, the general belief of foreign
observers here is that in Austria at

of their class and the protection OF
their common interests rather than
any real belief they can put the yell
Iow-and-black banner of the house
of Hapsburg back on the Hofburg.
Behind this. of course. lies the hope
of some turn in European affairs that
may give them chance. and here lies
the danger from without.
Should Hungary crown king. or
rather if she can find one to crown. in
view of Great Britain's veto of Carl.
which has rather upset the movement
there or should reaction effect sue
cessful stroke in Bavaria. what the
repercussion here would be is a mat
ter of conjecture.
It is well known that the aim of
the more ardent Hungarian monarch
lists is another dual kingdom. and they
might try bold coup on Austria.
But there is no conjecture about the
cold fact that any attempt to restore
the monarchy-or monarchv-in this
republic would mean b1oodshed No,
only would the liberal elements fight,
but there is no concealment of the
program that Czechoslovakia Is to
throw troops into Austria in such ar
event and If she becomes engaged
with Hungary The south S1avs are to
come to her aid.

ATHENS. March 26.-Continued sue
cess against the Turkish nationaiIsts
in Asia Minor are reported from the
Ushak and Brusa fronts, according to
an official statement issued here. The
Greeks, it is declared, are not en-
countering much resistance in their
advance toward Eski-Shehr.
Thursday" says the statement.
"the Greeks continued to advance in
the Cshak sector. The enemy, who
feebly resisted. was driven back from
a fortified ridge between Agar and
Bonnar to a line tbout thirty miles
east of Ushak. Two hundred of the
enemy were taken prisoners.
"In the Brusa sector, the enemy was
driven from positions east of the
city and the Greeks occupied a line
running through the villages Of
aieuneu. vsreis and Diledtik, about
six miles from the town. The Greek
losses have been insignificant
The question Of King Constantine
going to the front is still being dis
cussed, but no decision has yet been
reached.
The faancial problem is causing
much uneasiness. as 1t Is feared that
any effort to drain the country's re-
sources at this moment would lead
to further depreciation of the

exorbitant cost of living.

VIENNA, March 25.-If monarch
| ism is to come to Austria it must,
like bolshevism, come from without.
This is the opinion of men whose
business it is to watch and weigh
royalist activity.
That there is royalist activity goes
without saying. Carl formerly en-
peror) and his followers. the little
court of semi and demi and near
royalty and adventurous gentlemen
of many nationalities. he has about
him in Switzerland, still intrigue and
plot and perhaps hope. Here Il por-
ton of the old ariStocraCy and great
landowners and military swashbuck-
lcrS keep up more or less con-
cealed restoration movement. but, on
the whole, the monarchic sentiment is
dccaying.
1t dies hard because it has power
ful support in Austria from. sources
that come into intimate contact with
the people in their daily life. and
from exterior quarters as well, but
observers say it has lessened decided
ly in the past six months.
They attribute that condition to
several causes. The royalist leaders
are, to say the least, hardly an enter
prsing or very daring lot, and also
they are sensible enough to realize
that even an anointed Hapsburg must
have a treasury to successfully run
a government and would present
sorry spectacle with bankrupt Aus
tria and an estranged entente. Then
the assiduous propaganda and teach
ings of the socialist and other liber-
al clements have begun to take ef-
feet on the great body of the peas
antry. always considered the back
bone of the royalist movement.
Loyal to Monarchy.
From this statement may be except
ed the provinces of Upper Austria,
the Tyrol and Voralberg. According
to the best Information the monarch
ist movement still centers there. and
the mass of the peasant population
supports it. This may be attributed
to the fact that these provinces lie
open. not only to the direct efforts
of the Carlist propaganda from Swltz-
erland, but the equally strong mon
archie emanations from Bavaria.
While it has been two years of hard
shedding for the republic as a whole
and apparently there is very rough n
road still ahead, the agrarian ele-
ment has not been very badly off at
any time. The farmers have made
more money than they can spend and
none of the many governments up TO
now have been able to take any very
considerable part of it from them by
taxes. They are enjoying luxuries for
the first time in their lives, because
they can get their own price for
their products and altogether the
lessons of the new liberty are seep-
ing into the wales and hills as well as
into the factories and mines.
Alleged Plots of MOnarchists.
Every now and then the Vienna
press gives prominence in scary
way to the alleged plots of the reac-
tionaries. to the comings and goings
