King Edward VII, Edwards grand
father. was a dominating figure in
Europe's international affairs. /. is
he who decided to 60 against Ger
many-despite the strong family ties
with the German court-and sided
100 per cent with Russia and France,
nine years before the outbreak of the
World War.
He did it single-handed. When Ed
ward made up his mind that the in
terest of the Empire demanded an al
lance with Germany's opponents, he
went ahead and did it without even
consulting the House of Commons.

Only Foreign Secretary Sir Edward
Grey and the prime minister. Sir
Campbell Bannerman, were taken into
the confidence of the King. In the
archives of the foreign Office there Is
an interesting paper dealing with the
discussions which had taken place at
Buckingham Palace. The King warned
his two advisers that it was not neces-
sary for the other cabinet ministers
and the members of Parliament to
know anything about the agreement
to assist France In case OF an attack
from Germany. The sequel OF that
entente was that in 1914 Great
Britain was all prepared to rush to
Frances rescue.
A famous cartoon, much circularized
in Europe some Is years ago, showed
the two cousins, King Edward and the
Kaiser standing side by side. Edward
was dressed in frock coat and car
ried an umbrella. The German ruler
was in shiny armor, with . huge
sword dangling on his side. And said
Edward to his conceited cousin: "You
think you are ruling the world with
your sword, but 1t Is I, with my UNI
brella, who is doing It,"

George v was less confident in his
political abilities and let his govern
ment run national and international
affairs. He confined himself to advis-
ing his prime ministers on foreign
matters whenever his advice was
necessary. Georges chief interest was
the consolidation Of the empire on
the new basis which became essential
after the World War.

1 agreement at noon, 1t wal an- nounced. The agreement, it was said, was directed against the Com. munist international which Is the supreme world Communist organiz- ation with headquarters at Moscow. It has no official connection with the Russian government. An offi- cial communicate said that an ir- troduction to the agreement states:
 "In view of the fact that the aim of the Communist international is to disintegrate and subject to force all existing states by all means available, and in the conviction that toleration of the meddling by the Communist international in their internal affairs endangers not only the internal peace and social well fare of nations but also constitutes Q menace to world peace on the whole, and in e desire to cooperate against the work of the Communist international, the German and Ja- panese governments have concluded the following agreement"
 Article 1 of the agreement, the communique said, provided for ex- change of information between the I German and Japanese governments regarding the work of the Con1- munist International.
 Article 9 invites other states mem aced by Communism to take cor1- mon measures for protection.
 Article 3, the communique said, fixes the term of the agreement at five years, after which signatory governments would consult regard- ing further cooperation.
 A supplement to the agreement states that German and Japanese authorities will take the harshest measures within their existing laws against those at home or abroad di- rectly or indirectly acting in the interests of the Communist Inter- national or favoring It's work of de- struction." The agreement 1t was announced. was most brief. consist ing only of the three articles and supplements.
 One supplementary agreement stipulates that the Japanese and German governments will cooperate closely In providing information and effectlng propaganda measures to combat the Communist Interna- tional. A permanent committee is to be established to discuss and pro- pose necessary measures for action by the signatory governments.
 Theodor Boettiger, aide to Rib- bentrop, said:
 "The terrible events in Spain dein- onstrated the necessity of this agreement, which Is of the utmost importance and will be carried out with the greatest energy.
 "It is a pact between Germany and Japan for the protection of European k,iltur and civilization"
 He denied the existence of any secret clatiges.
 Tn view of Boettiger's reference to Spain and the section of the pacts supplement which refers to common measures against com- munism lat home or abroad" 1t was believed Germany may be pre- pared to intervene openly in Spain If necessary,

DR. SARCAS HAS
 100 DUELS AHEAD

 My list of men who must either apologize for insulting my wife's honor in criticizing our marriage or give satisfaction has reached 100, and may soon go higher unless the slanderous scoundrels cease their defamations. Apparently convinced that I mean business, a number of them are trying to wriggle out ale ready"
 Stepfather Ignores It
 The step-father of Sargas' wife, a university professor, refused to take the matter seriously.
 Hungarian duels are not serious" he said. T fought many of them in my youth. So I don't fear the out- come of Franz's encounters"
 Sargas, himself, said he had fought l9 duels so far and that he had received only slight injury. He was taking Q day of today to get ready for his next series.
 He was threatened from an un- expected quarter when Q dealer from who he had purchased furni- ture on the installment plan pre- sented Q demand for immediate payment failing which he would re- possess his goods.
 Sargas was not alarmed he said, but the incident reduced his wife to tears.
 "This is terrible in my state Of health, said Mrs. Sargas, an ex- pectant mother, but I will bear up and face the greater danger which threatens my husband. American women ought to consider them selves happy as their husbands never indulge in these dangerous duels."
 As 1t will require at least a month for Sargas to duel his way through the hate list, the indications were that his new baby would arrive be- fore all of his opponents had been disposed of.
 Hollywood Interested
 Hollywood, Nov. .25-(U.P)-Jo- seph Pasternak, motion picture de rector, today disclosed he was indi- rectly responsible for the duelling activities of Dr. Franz Sargas at Budapest.
 The director said he was the "cu- Did" who introduced Sargas to the girl who later became his wife and whose name the fiery Hungarian was defending in the series Of pulp licized duels.
 Pasternak said he was making Q picture called Peter" in Budapest several years ago and at the same time Sargas was organizing Q ball to relize money for support of the Budapest Philharmonic orchestra.
 Sargas suggested the ball be link ed with Pasternak's picture, with the director running contest to select the most beautiful girl in Budapest to preside as queen of the bali and receive " part in the picture.
 Pasternak agreed anr finally se- lected Mazda Marko, but meanwhile Sargas fell in love with ,'cr. When 1t came time for the girl to appear at the ball. Sargas refused to allow her to come before the crowd nor would he permit her to take part In the motion picture. Later they were married.
