lily, would become king OF France.
under the title OF Philip the Eighth.
II the royalists should succeed In
overthruwing the republic. He Is
now an exile from France and lives
In Belgium. whence the royalist prop
uganda emanates.
For the last 20 years royalists
have been working against the re-
public. They have tried TO create
the impression that the republic,
since its establishment IN 1871. has
been responsible for decadent moral
ity and for Frances small political
success In Europe.
Since the end OF the world war, the
royaiists have been particularly
active. seeking to attribute to re-
publican inefficiency the bad finan.
cial plight OF France and the failure
Of the government TO exact proper
indemnity from Germany.
The monarchists tried unsuccess-
fully TO make capital for their cause
during the Dreyfus crisis. SO years
ago. In 15ss-s9 a monarchist coup
attempted under the leadership OF
Gen. Burlanger also failed.
The present royals. leader in
France Is Leon Daudet. son of the
famous author. His wife is a grand
daughter Of Victor Hugo. Besides
the aristocratic descendants Of the
ancient regime. Daudet's principal
supporters are among dissatisfied re-
publican politicians who have not
secured what they consider their
just rewards.
