Junior Hi Students
to Present Play of
Early Pilgrim Days

THE Captain of Plymouth" will be
presented at, the Horace Mann Junior
High school next Friday by students
at the school,. Here is what CLYDE An
drews, one of the Junior high school
press agents. has to say about the
play:
The Horace Mann Junior High
school is presenting play-well worth
the public consideration. The school
has given several successful plays,
but this promises to be the greatest
event of all. The Captain of Ply
mouth which is founded on the old
historical story of the Pilgrims, is full
of humorous situations which are al
most sure to force a SMILE from the
pessimistically inclined Volk of the
district, who have decided to attend
the play. Wouldn't it seem good to
be watching the quaint old scene of
our pilgrim ancestors, and recollect
the story of Miles Standish, Priscilla,
and John Aldon. And listen to Miles
and the presidency of the Indian girl
THE play will be presented at the
high school auditorium, on February
II. There will be room for all. Come
out and back up the school children
of the district and help make the play
IL success"

PONCE DE LEON FAILED TO FIND

Then she came here with her par

was a salesgirl in a big department
store here. Then she became inter
ested in combating war.
She began giving lectures. She
found this more interesting and lucra-
tive than acting as salesgirl, so she
abandoned her downtown position.
She became founder and head OF
the Anti-War Association with It's
branches in all parts of Kansas. She
gained the approval of congressman
and other political leader.
Then came her campaign for the
Republican nomination at the forth
coming primaries.
The Republican nomination practic-
ally means election or 1.-The ,.Kepup-
llcan candidate usually carries this
state by 100000 votes or more.
The political situation here favors
Miss Pettigrew.
There are 25 or 80 candidates for
the Republican nomination with hats
in the ring.
There's no outstanding candidate.
Henry ]. Allen, present governor,
says he'll not be candidate for re-
election.
So the lightning is just as likely to
strike Miss Pettigrew as anyone else
And she's making far more active
fight than most of her opponents.
The primaries will De held in Au-
gust. Other candidates are holding
up their campaigns until spring.
But Miss Pettigrew's touring the
state. And her platform is winning

fair to the children.
References to the war are not often
made, but when l explained that | was
returning to England the ex-empress
exclaimed: More than anything |
would like the English and the Amer
lean people to know that we did not
will the war.
1.-THE only fault that can be alleged
against my husband-if it be fault
is that he succeeded to the throne too
late. Had he been called to power
before 1914 there would have been no
war.
His heart was with the entente,
but called into power in the middle
of the great struggle he was power
less to stop it. He did what he could
to mitigate its horrors and history
will yet do justice to him for that"
Ex-Empress Bitter
Common interest in music drew us
together Ia good deal. and at her own
request spent several pleasant after
Moons in the company of the ex-emp-
ress either on the hills or in the villa.
She gave me the impression of be-
ing subject to fits of depression, and
at times spoke bitterly of the way in
which the allied nations had punished
Austria.
She said she was greatly disap-
pointed in President Wilson. She
thought that in him Austria would
have found friend to back up the
French tendency toward leniency, but
when it was found that America was
making no move to distinguish be-
tween the guilt of Germany and Aus
tria she and Karl realized that moth
ing could save the unhappy country
from its fate.
Both cherish the hope of return
to Austria or at least to Hungary
when conditions improve.
The ex-emperor, according to his
consort, has but one thought. to work
for his people so that they may be re-
lieved from the misery that has over
taken them.
The ex-emperor is preparing for ul-
innate publication his private diaries
of events leading up to the war, but
is hampered by the absence of refer
ence works to check important de-
tails.

forever all mortals who should drink
of it," as one chronicler puts it.
Ponce de Leon fitted out three
small vessels at his own expense to
go in search of the fountain. He left
to the present generation the discov-
cry Of the gold and potent waters,
however, for after cruising about the
Bahamas during the winter of 1913
without sighting the island he heard
there was land in the northwest,
steered in that direction and on Eas-
ter Sunday, March 81, landed on the
beach a few miles north of where
st. Augustine now stands.
Prohibition officials credit the In
dians of Porto Rico with having
known what they were talking about
when they told Ponce de Leon he
would find gold at Bimini.
"Bimini is running over with gold
these days." said one official, land it
is certain from the expuI icuve we
have had with liquor runners the last
year or two that the marvellous
waters Of the fountain still flow
freely"

KARL AND ZTA
LIVE IN Luxury
ALTHO IN EXILE
Ex-Empress Says Husband
Would Have Prevented War
Had 1t Been Possible

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE first real
story of. the exile life of Ex-Emperor
Karl of Austria and his wife Zita on
the Island of Madeira has lust been
brought here by Mrs. Lillian Hartley
Bevans, an Englishwoman.
Mrs. Bevans, just back from Mad
EZRA, spent much time in the company
of the exiled ex-empress and talked
with her regarding the war and the
chain of events succeeding it that led
to the Punishment of the one-time
little tropical isle.
The Review gives you here Mrs.
Bevans' story. 1t was obtained just
before Zita got the special permission
of the allies to visit her son who is ill
in Switzerland.
BY Mrs. Lillian Hartley Bevans
Ex-Emperor Karl, exiled with his
wife. Zita, ON Madeira Island, is long
way off from being a Napoleon. Long
wood, where the Corsican was kept
until his death, was little more than
a plainly furnished farmhouse and the
few servants were just so many
warders.
Karl has Zita to share his life. He
lives i'm a beautiful villa, luxuriously
appointed. ss1%
There are more than enough serv-
ants to make sure that the two exiles
do not have to lift finger to help
themselves and they are saluted by
attendant guards with all the cere-
mony due to royalty.
No more are they troubled with the
cares of state, nor do they have the
worries of the ordinary citizen.
They are spared even the trouble of
going to church. for a chapel has
been fitted up in the villa and they
have their private chaplain. Soon they
will have their own movies.
Spend Much Time in Prayer
The exiled couple spend a great
deal of thei rhine in praying. They
start the morning at with prayers
in the little private chapel. Their first
thought is for their absent children.
Their next plea is for the distressed
people of the former Austrian empire
and then husband and. wife join in a
pathetic appeal to forgive personal
transgressions and to clear both in
the sight of the world of responsibility
for the war.
The day is spent out of doors as
much as possible, the eXiled pair max
ing pilgrimages over the island, but
returning to the villa for meals. When
out of doors they make friends with
the kiddies, and seem deeply touched
by the marks of respect shown them
by ali whom they meet.
In the evening there is reading and
musics Zita has the preference for
classical pieces, but Karl seems hap
piest with lively jazz music.
In the chief sitting room portraits
of the children of the exiles are prom
inently displayed and the ex-empress
has confessed to me with tears in her
eyes that but for the absence of the
children the peace and quiet of their
life would be preferable to the noise
and hustle of the world from which |
they have been exiled.
Planned to Take Children
She added that their natural incli- |
nation had been to take the children
into exile, but they agreed it was not
