SPANISH TROOPS
ARE IN REVOLT
REVOLT AGAINST CORRUPT RULE
SPREADS RAPIDLY THROUGH
COUNTRY
FOREIGN MINISTER RESIGNS
soldiery Resent Ionemy Of Recent
Moroccan Campaign; King
AIfonson Indifferent

Madrid.-Spain is in the travail of a
revolution. A military coup d'etat,
originating in Barcelona, has spread
rapidly through various districts and
provinces Of the country and has
aroused the deepest concern to the
government.
AT the head of the movement Is the
captain general of Barcelona, Primo
Rivera, a man of strong influence and
powerful associations. Behind him are
the officers Of the army, who have
been chatting for many months under
the ignOminy of the Moroccan cam
paign, and with the officers are the
rank and file, who seem ready to fol-
low their leaders to the end.
King Alfonso is believed to be at
San Sebastian. There are various re-
ports as to his probable action in the
crisis and he may even now be on his
way to Madrid to take up c%onsidera-
ton of the threatening situation with
Premier Alhucemas.
After protracted meetings Of the
cabinet, a message was sent to Cen
eraI Primo Rivera, requesting MIN 10
abandon the movement for patriotic
reasons, but he absolutely refused to
do so. The foreign minister, Abba,
who is believed to be particularly OBJ
noxious to the revolving elements, has
resigned from the ministry, as well as
the minister of labor, Felix Arminan.
The under-secretary of war, Gen.
Castro, informed the CORE
.spondents that the minister of war had
had a long conversation OF the tele-
phone with the captain-general OF Bar
who informed the minister that
he had rebelled against some members
Of the present government. The cap
ta~in-general paid tribute to Premier
Alhumcemas and the minister of the
interior, the Duke of Almodovar.
Contradictory reports are very prev
alent here. Although the under-secre-
tary Of war told the newspaper men
hat King Alfonso had left San Sebas-
tan by automobile for Madrid, there
vas an authoritative report much later
the king was still sojourning there
md would not come to the capital.

hate.
He bought Synthetic Cheese Pfd.
And other stocks that palpitAte;
He thought all low-yield bonds
absurd
The more he thought and less
he ate.
But simpson read the bankers
ads,
And did just what they said to
do;
He used deposit slips In pads
And let the interest accrue.
The bucket brokers came in stads,
And likewise they departed. too.
And so when both their lives
were spent,
And they had left earth's grteks

A lesson was made evident
To cautious men and easy fallers;
For Jones he died without a cant,
While Simpson had $4,000.

The Flapper Passes.


Behold the flapper passing by
With mind quite low and skirt
quite high,
With napper language in hex
talk,
And flapper motions in her walk.
With flapper ways and flarper
Embodiment Of dapperness:
She is the thing you're bound TO
In tens and twenties on the
street;
She is the creature which. Of late,
Has brought about so much de-
bate
On morals having so declined
And girls becoming less refined;
She is the subject, to be sure,
That saturates our literature.
The topic Of each song and verse
(And critics say she makes them
worse):
You find her in the magazines,
You find her on the movie
screens,
You even see her on the stage;
There's little doubt she's been
the rage;
Perhaps she really knows her
stuff,
But still TOO much is quite
enough"
And I, for one, with fervor cry
Thank heavens, she is passing
byp' Brown jug.

"HE cost of bankruptcy Is
getting to be so expensive
- now that only millionaires
can afford to go broke.
Being poor Is one Of the luxu-

New laws are making it impos-
sible for q man to be a pauper
unless he has couple Of thous-

Some business men have tried
their hardest to be flat, but they
haven't got enough money.
You have to give your attorney
at least five hundred dollars be-
fore he'll let you tell him that
you haven't got dime.
A lot Of men have been saving
up all their lives just so they
could 90 through bankruptcy.
Then as soon as they get
enough money to go broke, a law
is passed raising the rates.
Our politicians are making the
pOcrhouse out Of the reach of the
average citizen.
It used to be q tragedy to- go
to the almshouse, now its a lux

Before long they'll be making

you're bankrupt he knows you're

You used to be able to go broke

thing has gone up since the war.
And the officials at Washing

They're making it difficult for

impossible to be poor.
But with tho cost Of bank
