KINGS ESCAPA AIDES
CAUSE MUCH TALK
Afphonso of Spain to Be Repri-
manded by Rivera for His
Affairs at DeauviIie.

Paris.-EurOpe Is looking for Spain
to get rid Of it's king at any moment,
or If not that, it is almost certain
that King Alphonso will get good
spanking before long-figuratively
speaking. King Alphonso is treading
the path once familiar to King Man
uel, Of Portugal, who showered good
coin of the realm on stage beauties,
/. SO much of 1t in fact that his subjects
rebelled and Manuel woke up one
morning to find himself without a
throne to sit on and crown to put
. on his head.
That's the way King Alphonso, the
Spanish monarch, is going, only he has
gone Manuel about five or six better.
Instead of having only one stage
beaut1, Alphonso has about Ave or
six at time.
Queen With Babes.
Meantime his wife, Queen Victoria,
and the six children stay in the royal
palace in Madrid wondering when the
Grant king Is coming home.
All Europe Is talking about the
royal scandal, the way in which AL
phonso Is behaving himself. The
-usTmic papers OF France ridicule and
1oast him. 1t Is in France that AL
NphonsO spends most of his time, at
the fashionable seashore resort, Deau-
Vile. The reason he spends so much
of his time there is because all the
noted stage beauties, chorus girls, and
lot of women, whose respectability
is not matter of overmuch concern
to them, congregate at Deauville.
Squanders His Money.
There's hardly good king in the
whole European lot any more, but
Alphonso is absolutely the worst one
they still keep over here Instead Of
attending to affairs of state he squan-
ders his coin in gambling parties and
drinking bouts at Deauville; he plays
tennis with the chorus girls, or rather
plays at it; he referees prize fights;
he judges beauty contests. and in a
word, behaves himself just exactly
like king ought not to behave.
The taxpayers of Spain are begin
ming to growl about 1t. When their
monarch gives q diamond brooch to
one of his favorite stage beauties
the taxpayers Of his country foot the
bill. Besides they are getting pretty
much ashamed of Alphonso.
Rivera May Take 4 Hand.
When the army Of Spain revolted
several weeks ago and Primo Rivera
their leader, was given virtual ruler
ship Of the country, Alphonso hurried
to Madrid from the seashore, saw that
Rivera was a good man to have charge
spend some more OF the taxpayers
money.
1t is said in Europe that Rivera
is soon going to call the king to
Madrid for heart-to-heart talk Fur
thermore it is said that by the time
Rivera gets through with the king, the
king will behave himself-for a few
weeks, at least.

High Taxation Sends
Art Treasures to u. s.

LOndon.-Art collectors from Amer
lea have sent more treasures to Amer
lea since the war than were purchased
by Americans during the 20 years pre-
yiOus to 1914.
English collectors explain that this
Is the result of the need for cash
which Is being acutely felt in England.
Many formerly wealthy art collectors
are forced to sell their possessions In
order to meet high taxation and liv-
ing costs. There seems to be no such
condition among the American col
lectors, for their English. agents are
everywhere and always ready to seize
upon any treasures that are for sale.
In fact, so anxious are some Of the
agents to buy that they have adopted
the method of calling on well-known
collectors and making them offers for
various objects.
Art objects to the value of $4,000
600 were shipped to tie United States
last year.
