white summer suit. His finger

down in the canoe and started to

moaning and kissing the white
face desperately.
Police launched a thorough in
vestigation into the tragedy. ques-
tioning Mile. Cocoa at length.
While no details were revealed,

BERLIN, Aug. 8 G.N.S0.-De-
spite denials from every official
quarter, there is increasing evi-
dence that the world will awake
some morning about a year from
now and find that Germany has
again become a monarchy.
The government denies any
restoration plans for obvious and
natural reasons.
But there are strong, convincing
indications that Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Kurt Won Schleicher, "mys-
terry man" of Chancellor Franz
Won Papen'S cabinet and the
present power behind the throne,
is working with all the force at
his command toward restora-
ton of the HohenzollernS.
