So far. William Hohenzollern has abstained from

not been caught at it, and the government keeps

To name Napoleon and then Karl Of Madeira Is
strongly suggestive of descending from the sublime
70 the ridiculous Yet it Is interesting to recall
that Napoleon also broke his parole-the unpar-
donable sin In the eyes of the civilized world.
Napoleon was compelled by the allies to abdi-
cate the imperial throne Of France in 1914. He
was treated with great consideration. He was per-
mtted by the allied powers assembled In congress
at Vienna to retain all his civic rights. de was
allowed to keep the title Of emperor. He was
accorded for life the sovereignty Of Elba one or
the most beautiful islands In the Mediterranean
The honOrs due TO a sovereign were left to him.
He was assured of an annuity from the treasury
of France and all that was asked of him In re-
turn was that he should give his parole, pledge his
most solemn and sacred word not to leave the
island or TO take any steps, directly or indirectly.

King Louis XVIII and against the royal govern

he threw down the gauntlet to all Europe. The
congress of Vienna, still in session, united at the
instance Of the French plenipotentiary, Prince

That is why Napoleon was not allowed to set
foot in England where he had begged to be per-
mitted to spend the remainder Of his days, and
was shipped off to the lonely and remote island Of
St Helena in the south Atlantic to spend the rest
