�---
h`A.MOUS BLUE BOOK OF ROY-
ALTY JUST OFF THE PRESS
Innumerable Difficulties Beset the
Editors at Dawn. of New Era
Among European Nations.
The French edition of the Alman-
ach de Gotha for 1019 has been
brought to Paris fresh from the
Justus Perthes printing press at
Gotha. The preface contains a. con-
fession of the innumerable. difficulties
which have beset the editors at the
dawn of the new era. "The dis-
memberment of A.ustria," they ob-
serve, "and the transformation of
twenty-two German states into as
many republics interrupted our lab-
ors as We were going to press."
One's first impulse is to learn the
future status, according to the Al-
manach de 'Gotha, of the ex -Kaiser
and the ex -Crown Prince. For the
ci-devent—in this register of fallen
royalties—German Emperor, King of
Prussia, Margrave of Bradenburg,
B7irgrave of Nuemberg, Count Ho-
henzollern, sovereign of Silesia and
Clatz, etc., we find the following:
"Succeeded his father and renoun-
ced the throne November 8, 1918, doc-
tor in law of the University of Ber-
lin, doctor in law of the University
of Prague; doctor in science of the
University of Klausenberg, engineer-
ing director of the Politechnic
Schools of Germany, formerly grand
admiral and field marshale general,
etc.
Regarding the Crown Prince. •
The Kaiser appears, therefore, with
his many accomplishments chiefly in
the character of doctor. As for his
eldest son, he appears before the
world as a veterinary surgeon. The
Almanach says:
"Frederick William Victor August
Ernest of Prussia ci-devant Imperial
Prince of the German Empire, Prince
Royal of Prussia, Imperial Royal
Highness, born at the Marble Palace,
near Potsdam, on May 6, 1882. Re-
nounced his rights and succession to
the throne November 8 (December
1), 1918, doctor of law, University
of Berlin; doctor in engineering, Poli -
technic Schools,. Berlin and Char-
lottenburg; doctor in Veterinary
medicine, Higher Veterinary School,
Berlin; formerly general of infantry,
_etc."
Turning to the Hapsburgs, we
find:
"Charles (Karl) I., Francis Joseph
Louis Herbert George Marie, el-
devant Emperor of Austria, Apostolic
King of Hungary (the fourth of that
name), King of Bohemia, Dalmatia,
Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, etc."
The Almanach sums up the tre-
mendous events which caused the
"brilliant second" to crumble to dust
thus:
"The former Austro-Hungarian
Monarchy * * * split up as a result
of revolutionary events in the months
of October and November, 1018, into
several independent national states.
In this way were formed the Repub-
lic of German -Austria, the Czecho-
Slovak Republic, the South Slav state
and the .Republic of Hungary. The
Kingdom of Serbia claims Bosnia
and Herzegovina; Roumania claims
the Bukovina and Poland claims Gal-
icia."
German Governments Temporary.
The lesser constellations have all
similarly paled. Frederick II (Wil-
liam Louis Leopold Augustus) mere-
ly described as ei-devant Grand Duke
of Baden; Louis ITI. (Leopold Joseph
Marie Aloysius Alfred) as ei-devant
King of Bavaria, and so on. The
Almanach is careful to note the "pro-
visional" state of affairs in Germany.
It declares that all the 'German Gov-
ernments are temporary. But Hin-
denburg—vide Arniy, page 473—still
figures as directing the general staff
of the armies in the field, and Groner
is still First Quartermaster General.
All the high imperial functionaries
figure at their posts. Interesting and
enlightening is this paragraph de-
voted to Alsace-Lorraine;
"The former province governed di-
rectly by the organs of the German
Empire and united to the latter since
Tune 9, 1871. On November 2, 1018,
the Second Chamber constituted it-
self the National Council 'of Alsace-
Lorraine and named from among its
member; an adnainiatr'etive commit -

liC."

&•TUMORS OF THE BATTLEFIELD
Philip Cibb:, Famous Correspondent,
Tells Funny War Stories.
Philip Gibbs, the famous war ear-
respondent, who remained on the,
western front from the spring of 1915
until our victorious troops crossed
the Rhine, tells these, amusing stor-
ies in his lecture; "The Men Who
Have Won the War";
In their light-hearted way the men
invented all sorts of games, betting
on which shells might be duds or ex-
plosives, betting even on the men
who might be the first to get hit.\
T ,,remember one dugout in which
a se'igeant-major kept popping in to
inquire for Private Smith.
"He's all right," came the answer.
Two minutes later the sergeant
major again appeared with the same
inquiry.
e "Yes; he's all right."
Again and again the sergeant -
4 major popped in, till Private Smith
° looked up.
"That sergeant -major seems to
love me," he said. "He's treating
me like a father."
"You blinking fool!" someone cried;
"he's drawn you in a lottery. He
would have won 17s. 6d. if you had
been hit."
A platoon commander in the front
line discovered one of his men had
returned from leave rather in drink.

et, and taken to the dressing station.
But the stretcher-bearers were stop-
ped with their burden by the corps
commander.
"S,Vhat is the matter with this
man?"
"Dead, sir," replied the platoon
commander, who was at hand.
The corps commander stood at at-
tention and saluted. "The corps com-
mander salutes the honored dead,"
he said.
At this the occupant of the stretch-
er called out in the loudest thick,
confused tones:
"What's this ole geezer talking
about?"
Our men destroyed instantly no-
tices put up by the enemy •saying:
"Phe English are fools," and "The
French are fools." But a notice put
out by the Huns before their trench-
es, "We .are all fools," was left un-
touched, even when our men storreed
and captured the „trenches.. _
In the first tank attack, when )
tank had broken down before a Ger-
man infantry battalion headquarters,
the crew saw the German colonel
emerge, salute the tank, and say,
"Kameradl"
Getting no answer, he' walked
around, repeating the performance
at various points of the machine. The
crew finally invited him inside, and
travelled all clay with hirer.
One of the worst effects of the Ger-
mans having the high ground was
that they managed to make the
drainage of their trenches flow into
" 'We are, or ought to be, obecure
to ourselves, turned outward and

centration upon what is within brings

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
'Without Any Pain
0
Sore corns, bard corns, soft corns or
any 'kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if You
will apply directly upon the corn a few
drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati
authority.
• It is claimed that at small cost one
can get a quarter of an ounce of free -
zone at any drug store, which is suffi-
cient to rid one's feet of every corn
or callus without, pain or soreness or
the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and while sticky, dries the moment it
is applied and does not inflame or even
irritate the surrounding tissue.
This announcement will interest
many women here, for it is .said that
the present high -heel footwear is put-
ting corns on practically every
woman's feet.

Pat—"Well, you see, you'd be a long

Double Exposure.

Rastus, colored doughboy, and he took

Cunnel, and I jes' had to run."
"You saw the shells?"
"Yes, sal; I saw one big shell twice
—first when it passed just over my
head and second when I passed just
under it."
