 GERMAN PRINCESS
 BECAME HIS BRIDE
 At the age of 20, Princess Louise Maximilienne of Strolberg- Gee dern seems to have been a most self possessed young person. Twenty, in those days, was pretty old for an unmarried girl. She apparently seized her chance tu escape spinsterhood and indeed plotted her escape from the pow- CT of her sovereign, Empress Ma. rie Theresa, who disapproved the match. She and Charles were welded in Italy.
 Very soon in Rome a foolish young Swiss diletante was cali- AAS AlC1 tAlC &uCCA OA 14CdA Uo' She was blonde, flirtatious, spir- tied. She distributed miniatures of herself-to young Danby, son of rich Yorkshire squire" and to "a certain young Coke of Nor- folk"

 'He is jealous to such a degree that neither there or at home is she ever out of his sight. All the avenues to her room, excepting through his own, are barricaded. He has frequent epileptick fits which, his physician has told me, must end in apoplexy, and that he does not. think 1t dis tant."

His apoplectic tendency must have been sorely reused when the young Italian poet. Vittorio Alferi, his red hair perfumed, his blue cloak lined with scarlet, be- came regular visitor to Louise in Florence. The last indignitie.s were apparently accomplished under the nose of the sodden, snoring husband. Finally, by trick, she entered the convent of the Little White Nuns, made her exit by another gate, fled to Rome and-freedoln.
 Embittered, humiliated, ster- terous of breath, the prince who had outlived his charm and his cause died in 1788. His illegitj- mate daughter by Clementina Walkinshaw was by his side. Ca nova's exquisite marble marks his restin place in St. Peters in Rome. It seems to flatter his memory.

ALL AT ONCE WE KNOW IT'S SUMMER
sY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

All at once we know it's summer, With Decoration Day come and gone; It's been ninety in the shade so they say And hot all night into the dawn. All at once we know it's summer, As crowds migrate to the beaches; Youngsters interest flags at school They lose interest in what Miss Smith teaches. All at once we know it's summer, At sight of picnicers at the side of the road; And the men folk dolled up in new straw lids And palm beach suits of the latest mode. All at once we know it's summer, When faces turn sepia brown; Yes sir, summer is here all right For circus has come to town.

GREAT BRITAIN ARMING

News from Great Britain emphasizes
the extent of the rearmament program
now underway in that country A colossal
program to enlarge the military, naval
and aerial forces will require $500, 000,
900 in the next five years
As an indication of what this means
to the rest of the world is the announce
ment that three additional battleships will
be constructed, beginning this year With
two already authorized the British navy
will have five new dreadnoughts under
construction at the same time and possibly
others before the program is completed
The army will be mechanical and the air
fleet vastly enlarged.
What the United States will do in re-
CARDS to meeting British naval increases
remains problematical Certainly, the peo-
pie of this country will not entertain the
slightest idea that the huge fleet is point
ed at the United States. The embarrasS-
ing international situations of the past few
years afford ample explanation for British
determination to arm effectively for the
purpose of enforcing peace in Europe by
making British power a greater factor in
world politics.

A BALANCED BUDGET

The first statement of the President
as to future policies dealt with the prob
lem of the Federal deficit Mr.. Roosevelt,
in brief announcement, said that he be-
lieved it would soon be possible to balance
the budget and that he intended to do so
at the earliest possible time.
Various commentators, some of them
close to the White House, anticipate that
the budget will be balanced at the end Of
the 1887 fiscal year. which starts next
July. 6 f iss
It is doubtful if any act by the Presi-
dent and the Congress would do more to
restore confidence in our governments fl
nancial structure, or to stimulate indus
try and investors. Once the budget is
balanced-and kept balanced-we will at
least know that the Federal debt will grow
no greater And, with balanced budget,
we can apply ourselves to the tremendous
job of reducing the debt to more normal
level. That. obviously, cannot be done SO
long as government spends more than it
receives and charges the difference
against the future
It has been Mr.. Roosevelt's opinion
that during a time of depression coun-
try should spend far beyond its receipts
and, once reasonable amount of recovery
is achieved, reduce outgo and return-to a
business basis. Current conditions indi-
cate that the time is here when business
Improvement should make emergency
spending unnecessary =
The President has apparently refused
to listen to those who would have the gov
eminent keep on spending vast sums in ex-
cess of income until debt reputation or
insolvency arrived. 1t is to be hoped that
it will be possible to balance the budget
very soon.

is MUsSOLINI A DEMOCRAT?

If there issa country where true
democracy has been realized says Benito
Mussolini, that country is Fascist Italy"
So claims the Italian dictator, who is
against considering Fascism and demo-
cracy as opposites. He eonceives his re-
gime as necessary to develop the welfare,
earning capacity, spending abilities, living
conditions, entertainment, ETC., of the lower
classes Mussolini wants to shorten the
distance between the maximum" and
minimum" possibilities of life, calling this
the highest social justice.
AS one writer who has freely criticised
the war-like utterances of the Italian die
tator we call attention TO these statements
because it is possible, if ,MuSSolini leaves
outside battles alone, for him to make a
great contribution farewof the
average Italian. After all, this is what
counts and will count after he is, dead and
gone. w1 a
We still regard Mlissolini as a menace
to world peace although not so much as
Hitler. Nevertheless, if he can get rid of
the world-conquering complex and devote
his entire attention and energy to imprOv-
ing Italy there is the faint suspicion that
he may yet surprise the world.

improve, optimism rises. Employ
ment in many lines is almost as great
as at the end of 1872, the large NUM-
bers still out of work being due at
least in part to the growth of the en-
playable population since the depres-
sion began. Economic activity is far
from ideal but is decidedly better.
It is time, not to worry. but to be-
come thoughtful and careful. Prices
are on the upgrade and buyers are
looking ahead. many now making
purchases for future delivery because
they fear that delay in buying will
mean having to pay still more later.
Consumers are increasing their in
stalIment purchases, thus mortgaging
their incomes for months or years
ahead.

possibility of a later reaction. Gov
eminent and business leaders are

crash may come later. Some even
suggest precautions that should be
taken to prevent too rapid an adj
vance into wild boom that will be
followed by another collapse and a
prolonged depression.
There are two lines along which
control may be attempted. One is
public and the other private. Public
controls may be undertaken by the
Treasury Department and by the
Federal Reserve System The need for
this effort by public officials Is due
first to the continuing deficit in the
federal budget So long as this deficit
persists and the government must
borrow, the effect is infationary.

may order expenditures that viii off
set his efforts to economize.
The greatest danger is not from the
government deficit but from the huge
amount Of gold in the United States.
The Federal Reserve System has GER
tain legal powers that may be used.
Reserve requirements may be raised,
etc. but the mass Of idle funds in our
banks Is huge. Excess reserves are
again over $1,000 100000 and II is
more than doubtful whether any
thing that can be done by the Federal
Reserve banks or by the Treasury
Department can do more than Slight
ly retard boom.
Private efforts are the second form
of control. For example. the banks
may be careful not to expand their
loans too rapidly. But we must re-
member that nearly every bank has
large amount of loanab1e funds on
hand. Interest rates are still very low
and the banks compete with each
other for business. Each bank, in its
anxiety to make good earnings and
to get its share of new business, will
be tempted to expand. When prices
are rising many loans are safer than
when, prices are falling. There is q
limit to the control that we may rea-
sonably expect from the banks.
Perhaps private borrowers may
exercise some restraint. But here, too.
there is a temptation to expand
rapidly. Many business men are
anxious to make up the losses suf-
tered during the last seven years.
Then. too. they feel the pressure to
borrow money and to buy now before
prices get higher even though by do
ing SO they are helping to raise prices.
All or US as consumers are similar
ly tempted. AS we see prices in the
stores advancing we think it wise to
purchase at once. If we have cash on
hand we want to stock up our fur
niture or repair the house. Il even
seems sensible to buy a new home
subject to heavy mortgage, more
furniture or new automobile on the
installment plan. This attitude of
consumers is already having its effect.
There is real danger that we shall
overdo it. Some argue that we have
learned lesson in recent years. Un-
fortunately our memories are short
and probably we shall repeat many
of our past mistakes. Those who real
ly try to be careful will fancy that
we can keep our debts within bounas
