that King Boris contemplates leaving
the country until the storm is over.
Jugo- Slavia is massing troops on its
borders, ostensibly to preserve peace
on the frontier but actually to be
ready for intervention If the Com
munists gain the upper hand. The
council of ambassadors in Paris au-
thorized Bulgaria to increase her
armed forces by 1000 until the end
of May. This action was largely due
to the message from the .Iugo-Slav
cabinet asserting the menace was an
international one and that the Bulgars
should be aided.
CUTTING silent and unmoved, Joseph
- Caiilaux, exiled as traitor during
the war, the recent recipient of am
nesty, and selected by Paul Painleve
to be minister of finance, heard him
self abused to the limit by the right
wing of the French chamber of dep
uties. Then, after hearing the min
isterial declaration Of Painleve, the
chamber accepted his entire cabinet,
the vote of confidence being 304 to
21S. The new premier declared the
government would pursue the execu-
ton of the Dawes plan simultaneously
with settlement of the interallied
debts, hui he gave warning that it
would not accept the Luther-D' Afternoon
security pact to which Germany was
to have been one of the five. sigma
tories. He pledged reduction of
Frances ornaments as soon as her
security was guaranteed. What meas
ures are to be adopted to relieve the
| financial situation NJ. Painleve did not
say, but be indicated they would be
stringent and would require heavy
sacrifices. M. Caillaux, who spoke but
briefly, said he did not intend to in
crease advances from the Bank Of
France nor to force the consolidation
of bonds which would be harmful to
the state. In June, he declared, would
come an important monetary opera
ton to rehabilitate the country's
finances.

XXIHATEvER the outcome of the
w German presidential election, the
cause Of monarchy in that country re-
ceived a big boost last week when
former Crown Prince Rupprecht of
Bavaria came out against Marx and
in favor of Won Hindenburg. This
despite the fact that Rupprecht and
Marx are both Catholics and the field
marshal is a Protestant. The Ba-
varian is head of the Wittelsbach
| dynasty, rivals of the HOhenzOllerns,
and his announcement goes to prove
| the truth of the report that he and
the former Crown Prince Frederick
William have reached an agreement
whereby the return of the Hohenzol-
Terms to power would mean the plac-
ing of Rupprecht on the throne of
Bavaria. German royalists are re-
joicing over this evidence that the two
great dynasties have buried their diff
ferences.
