the last thing that the French govern.

the last thing that the French govern
ment will accept.
Furthermore. it is believed in well
informed quarters here that the French,
considering this new international sit
uation, will be reluctant to accept even
the paper parity regarding naval
forces with Italy, a parity which Her
riot had accepted in principle last De-
cember. before he was forced to resign.
On the other hand, 1t Is little prob
able that unless some definite political
compromise can be reached between
France and her allies on the one side
and Italy on the other, II Duce would
use his influence with Adolf Hitler to
induce him to adopt . more conciliatory
attitude toward the question Of equality
in armaments.
Macdonald will stop in Paris, ON his
way to London, to discuss with Premier
Deladier the present situation. In well
informed quarters 1t Is said that there
Is little hope Of the meeting between
these two premiers yielding anything
positive. The maximum concession the
French premier Is believed able to make
Is to agree to carry on the present dis
cussiOns until Ambassador Davis reaches
Europe. next Thursday week.
Expect DAVIS Proposals.
For some mysterious reason, the
French and British premiers are Of the
opinion that Mr.. Davis will arrive In
Europe with q definite set Of proposals
from President Roosevelt, proposals
which would cover, not only the COM
ing International Economic Confer
ence. but also the present political
crisis in Europe. The European nations
remember that it was the Democratic
party under Wilson which has orig
mated the idea of the League of Ma
tions, and there Is forlorn hope that,
while the League in its present set-up
is dead, as far as the American people
are concerned. there may be . posi-
bility of devising something slightly
different and, especially, new, which
might meet with their approval. They
believe that President Roosevelt's un-
precedented popularity with the people
Of this country will enable him to 60
much further than any Of his prede-
cessors and that Mr.. Davis Is carrying
In his pocket ep0ch-making proposals
for Americas cooperation with Europe.
Until 1t Is known what the President
intends to do in regard to Europe. the
principal nations across the ocean want
to keep things going and avoid . col
lapse Of the Geneva Conference. It is
also believed that the French and the
Germans will agree to avoid an overt
breakdown of the present pourparlers
until Ambassador Davis can tell them
what President Roosevelt has On his
mind.

King Ludwig II reigned in Bavaria for -;

before he was finally adjudged insane and q
regency appointed to replace him as head of
the government.
The castles built by the King in the Bavarian
mountains and ON the silv'ry lakes of q coun-
try renowned for its Incompatible scenic
beauty are today still the mecca of most tour
lists who visit Germany
But the fairyland the King was building cost
such fabulous sums and the state Of Bavaria
was being plunged so heavily into debt that
Ludwigs ministers were compelled to call .
halt to the Kings extravagance. It was then
that 1t became apparent that Ludwig was losing
his mind.
The King. at first grew stubborn and tried
to persist In his plans. Finally, realizing that
the completion of his fairyland was impossible,
the King began to rave and storm; he became
the victim of dangerous spells. In the end,
he grew shy of human associates and withdrew
into his mountain castles where he lived the
life Of hermit
Posterity IS eternally indebted to Ludwig, for,
before his mind went astray, he was an ardent
champion Of Richard Wagner, who was re-

"As he passed out the gate. his eyes were

Mike many modern politicians,
George Washington did not believe
in nepotism. He did not believe
that he was obligated to hand out
xnecures to relatives.
An instance Of this kind was re-
vealed recently In o transcript Of documents
bearing On the family history Of the German
Washingtons sent to Albert Bushnell Hart,
former historian Of the George Washington
Bicentennial Commission BY the Baroness
Marie Won Washington
The Baroness Marie, now % years old ID
the widow OF Lieut.. Col. Baron Karl Theodor
Won Washington Of the Bavarian Army and
the last of the German Washingtons.
According to the transcript sent by the
Baroness Marie. Jacob Washington. son Of John
Washington. a brother of George Washington's
father petitioned his cousin, who was then
President of the United States for commits
sion in the American Army.
Writing from The Hague, Jacob. who had
never seen his American cousin, called atten-
ton to his kinship with the American Presi-
dent. Citing his extensive military experience
In the armies of Germany and the Netherlands,
Jacob declared himself willing to serve the
American Government.
It happened to be simply one Of those boring
intervals between wars when Jacobs sword
was sheathed and his sword arm inactive.

teously acknowledging the relationship, refused

This letter. together with many Warrington
relics, including battle pictures Of the Revo-
lutsonary War and portraits Of George and
Martha Washington, came into possession Of
the Baroness Marie Won washington through
her late husband, who was . son Of the Jacob
Washington referred to above.
After being denied commissi0n In the
American Army, Jacob entered the service Of
the Bavarian government, IN which capacity
he rendered such distinguished service to the
state that he was rewarded with elevation to .
the nobility with the rank Of Freillefs, mean
ing free lord or baron. Later hdt~xs promoted
10 the military rank Of lieutenant general and
also called to the Bavarian court Is royal
adjutant general.

who also was favorite at the Bavarian court,
retired from the military service with the rank
Of lieutenant colonel and settled on his family
estate 1t Erding, Bavaria. But in 1886 he was
Regent LMtpold, who took over the reins of
government In Bavaria when King Ludwig II
became mentally deranged.
Prince Regent Luitpold persuaded Baron Won
Washington to assume the dificult task of
companion to the insane king. II was q task
he did not relish, for, as subsequent events
proved it was replete with trouble and, finally,
with tragedy.
QARoN Won WASHINGTON was In his
quarters in the royal castle Of Neuschwan-
stein situated on the shores of Lake Starn-
berg in the heart Of the picturesque Bavarian
Alps when King Ludwig committed suicide by
throwing himself into Lake Starnberg and,
at the same time, dragging his personal ply
Hcian along to-a watery death.
The King, who was very popular with the
people Of Bavaria despite his erfattc tendencies
which manifested themselves long before he
was finally adjudged insane, was mourned
deeply Throughout the entire nation and many
legends Sprang into being, some Of which are
stu extant among the Bavarian hill folk to
this day
Baron Won Warrington wrote . detailed &C.
count Of the Kings death for the Bavarian
government, but despite the presentation Of
these facts rumors would not die down that
Baron Won Warrington Was, In some way, re-
sponsible for the Kings death.
The baron died In 1897, leaving . copy Of
the state document he prepared on the Kings
suicide In possession of his widow. This copy
was released for publication By the Baroness
Marie during the clesing months Of the Bicen-
tennial celebration. In the widows words "as
. contribution Of the German Washmgtons to
the Bicentennial celebration" Due to the fact
that the document was received too late, It
was not included IN the collection Of wash
ingtoniana released BY the Bicentennian Asso-
citation.
Tho accidental death Of King Ludwig II,
probably the greatest patron and lover Of art
in the art-loving WitteIsbach family, occurred

around his strange demise have cropped up
anew today because the Witteisbach family Is
