Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1922-01-05

Charles was dethroned and the Hapsburg dynasty
was ousted from Hungary by law passed by the
Hungarian national assembly.
Portugal which owns Madeira has consented to
the residence of Charles on the island and has
given assurances that she will prevent him from
making any further attempts to recover the crown
of st. Stephen. That may be another story, since
Madeira contains many Germans who largely con-
troll the trade and industry Of the island Beside,
the government at Lisbon is not the strongest IN
the world or the most stable.
Anyway it's pretty soft for Carl and Zita. They
are treated honOred guests by the governor,
Maj. Acacio Correa Pinto Their only guard is
plain clothes polceman-and his principal duty Is
to keep off the beggars.
'It's better'n saving wood at Doorn," the jingle
says. 1t may be so. Holland is not pleased with
the residence of William Hohenzollern in her
boundaries The only reason she keeps him is her
time-honored tradition of refusing to surrender
political offenders who have sought refuge on her
soil. He is to all intents and purposes prisoner
of state there, Queen Wilhelmne's government
being determined that he shall have opportunity
of making Holland the place of any intrigues or
conspiracies either against the German republic
or against the powers Of the entente.
So far William Hohenzolern has abstaned from
abusing in any overt fashion the unwilling hospital
ity of the Dutch government. Anyway he has
not been caught at it, and the government keeps
him under the closest supervision, censoring his
mail and kilograms and keeping track of his visit
ors So he has not been guilty of breaking his
parole And though probably the most-hated man
in all the world, he can not be properly called an
international outlaw, as is Karl of Madeira. But
If ne should ever take it into his head to escape
from the netherlands, and to return to Germany,
or in any way to disturb the peace of Europe he
would probably be promptly proclaimed by the
council of ambassadors international outlaw,
and would be fated to nternment in some remote
Atlantic or Pacific island. He knows this. And
that's why he's keeping quiet and saving wood
To name Napoleon and then Karl of Madeira is
strongly suggestive of descending from the sublime
to 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 compelled by the allies to abdi-
cate the imperial throne of France in 1914. He
was treated with great consideration. He was per-
mitted by the allied powers assembled in congress
at Vienna to retain all his civic rights He was
allowed to keep the title of emperor. He was
accorded for life the sovereignty of Elba, on3 OF
the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean
The honors due to a sovereign left to him.
He was assured of annuity from the treasury
of France and all that was asked of him in
turn was that he should give his parole pledge his
most solemn and sacred word not to leave the
island or take any steps, directly indirectly,
to plunge once more all Europe into the horrors
of
A few months later, in 1875 Napoleon deliberate
ly broke his parole quilted Eba in secrecy landed
in France, raised the standard Of revolt against
King Louis XVIII and against the royal govern
ment which had been re-established in Paris. Thus
he threw down the gauntlet to all Europe. The
congress of Vienna still in session, united at the
instance of the French plenipotentiary Prince
Talleyrand in prOclaiming him an international
outlaw and as beyond the pale Of honor and of law
That is why Napoleon 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
