BHWK LIST OF
DETHRONED KINGS
M 1NDERING8 OK FALLEN IM LKRg
RECALLED in RECENT
ABDICATIONS.
New York Times: History abounds In
alxlleuted kings anil the present wnr
has added to the list. Of the unfor-
tunate rules who have lost their
thrones a few have leen allowed to
pass their declining years peacefully in
their own countries. .Many have leen
imprisoned and have become Insane
many ex-ruler have been exiled and
aome have sought refuge in England
and America. Two even found safety
under the humhle name of Smith.
It Is said that Nicholas II. until re-
cently czar of all the Russlas has only
900000 rubles left of a fortune esti-
mated a year ago to be greater than
the Rockefeller Morgan or Krupp pos-
sessions. He furnishes an examples of
the vicissitudes of kings. Practically
all of the mines of Sileria were the
personal property of the czar. He own
ed In his own name 150000000 acres
of lunil upon which were mines timber
and farms. Hesides he drew an Im
mense salary to maintain his palaces
and defray the expenses of royal per
soiiages and dependants.
The other most recent abdicator. Con
stantlne of (Ireece did not have such
vast estates but he had enough for a
life befitting his station and he un
doubtedly will have much less In fu
ture. as in me case or the czar no
announcement has been made nlsiut ar
rangements for the future allowances
of the Creek king who is now residing
In Switzerland with his nueen. a sister
of the Herman kaiser.
I'etrovlrh of Montenegro.
Nicholas Pttrovlch the old king of
Montenegro Is another ruler who lately
lost his crown at least temporarily
He has leased a villa Just outside of
Purls where he is living with his daugh
ters Princess Xenlti. Itemise Nicholas
was suspected of treachery to his allies

the Paris police although he enjoys
comparative freedom. Ills cabinet mln

his country when the army was starv-
ing and besieci -d Iby the forces of tlx
central powers lifts deserted him. Hut
Nicholas Is not alone for he took with
him his entire family excepting Prince
Miiko who was left behind with the
army anil has been mentioned as the
Austin Hungarian candidate for the
throne of a united Serbo-Croatian state
under AustroGerman protection.
King Nicholas Petrovich Is passion
ately fond of pokar. When he is not
reading the war news according to
reports from Paris he gathers his oM
cronies alsjut him for a game. He is
me ratner or the uueen of Italy. An-
other of his daughters Is Princess
Kranrls Joseph of Itattenherg. ami still
another is a Russian grand duchess
i.lttle has MM heard recently of
King Ferdinand of Koumunia. who sac-
rificed his vast holdings in Austria by
allying himself with the entente low-
ers. His brother. William fifteen
months older who was himself crown
prince of Koumunia until he resigned
all his rights in ISM has not only ex-
lulled Ferdinand from the family but
now has Is-gun to call himself king.
It is certain that Ferdinand's finances
are In a very Iwd condition and it is
not likely that he will ever regain his
lost pros?rty In Austria. The older
brother. William has two sons both of
whom are generals in the German army.
Mtfl his daughter by his first marriage
was wedded to .Manuel II then king
of Portugal.
Peter king of Serbia had the distinc-
tion of being the second king to lose his
crown U cause of the pit-sent war. His
grief was prolxibly greater than that
of any other ruler who met with a
similar misfortune; for Peter had spent
a lifetime trying to gain the throne.
His early crime-- the muidei of Prince
Obrenovltch that he might take the
throne was never quite forgotten.
Then tisj. i'eter was not accepted into
the glares of the other F.urnpean royal-
ty on his accession to the throne in
1 li3. following the murder of King Al-
t-Xaildel and gueeli lirug.i Ills last step
to the crown.
The sad little old man OM I remarked
In a fit of temper I must Is? very ill
today it dK-s not even please me to be
king." Wb n they droe him from Ser-
bia he went to Athens. He has now
found an asylum on the Greek isle of
Mboaa in the Aegean set. At 71 he
spends much of his time walking per-
haps trying to imagine that his valor
early In the war. when he marched at
the head of his plucky army makes up
for his earlier acts.

prived of office Hut hi seems to have

Alslul Hamid II. once sultan of Turkey
notorious for his frightful massacres
in Armenia. He was deposed in 1009.
He called himself the "most miserable
of men." but the people have nick-
named him "Abdul the Damned.'
Manuel II. of Portugal is now merely
Manuel I Iragiiiun. After his abdication
he leased Sir Harry Macleans' villa
Aliercorn. at Richmond England. The
villa originally cost 25000 pounds and
the four acres on which it stands seem
small for a man who once had n king-
dom. Manuel has only a little money
of his own. and the Portuguese govern-
ment gives bin a small annuity. Eor
several years he has lived quietly. He
delights in the flowers and trees of the
fresh P.nglish landscape. It Is rumored
that he has learned landscape.
Napoleon and Kiigcne.
Napoleon III. and his beautiful con-
sort the Empress Eugenie also sought
peace In England. After the refuge
Napoleon died broken hearted at
Chlselhurst the ex-empress and the
prince imperial. Louis Napoleon occu-
pied Lopd Harrington's castle Egypt
on the Isle of Wight. Six years later
after the prince Imperial fell In the
Zulu war the saddened woman took up
her abode at Farnlsjrougji. England
and at intervals in Paris.
Empress lingenie was 92 years old
last May. She has turned her Kuril-
borough home into a hospital for Brit-
ish officers and much of her time has
been spent caring for the wounded from
the battlefields of Fiance. She fore-
goes some of her customary trips to
France since the war. Csually she
passes most of the winter at her villa
at Cap Martin on the Riviera n her
way she spends two weeks In Paris
when- she gratifies her mania for revis-
iting old spots and old friends and
from the windows of the Hotel Contin-
ental she can look out on the Tullerles
gardens where her child used to play.
It is generally known that Iouis Phi-
lippe king of the j'rench. taught In a
Swiss college during his exile when he
was discovered to lie among the plot-
ters ngnlnst the French republic In
193. Three years later he was Joined
by his mother and brothers who had
been Imprisoned in Paris since the ter-
ror. They set sail together for the
Cnlted Stutes. awl settled in Philadel-
phia in an old mansion. For two years
thev traveled In New England the
Creat Lake region and the Mississippi
Valley. The exiled king was then re-
conciled with UoWJs XVIII nnd lived
with his brotheis at Twickenham near
London He went to Sicily In 11.07. and
remained there until Napoleon's alxli-
cation. I'lien Louis XVIII. made him
colonel-general of the Hussars and re-
stored his estates in Orleans. This made
him enormously wealthy and although
his uttitude toward the House of Patri
cost him two years of exile he was
made icgent to Charles V. who was
dapoaad. imis Philippe then baauna
king by "the grace of Cod and the will
of the people." His alliance with the
Spanish house caused his downfall and
he was forced to flee with his consort
to Honfleur. They found refuge In a
gardner's cottage.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" were a be-
draggled couple without any property
save the clothing they wore when the
English counsul smuggled them into
New Haven. Yet Mr. and Mrs. Smith"

queen Victoria took pity on them and
they settled at Claremont as count nnd
countess of Neuilly.

man who is a Issikkkeeper by profes-
slon. but is abiddlng his time until he
shull become king of France by "the
grace of God and the will of the eo-
ple." He is James III. of the Hour-
bon line ami is a third cousin of Al-
fonzo of Spain. He might Ik- on per-
fectly good terms with his reigning
i nisin were it not for the awkward
circumstance that James thinks that he
himself should be King of Spain. His
grandfather sat on the Kjmnlsh throne
until tin opMjslrig branch of the Hour-
Ism family took title.
I'nique among the alslicants of the

DIPLOMAT s.
Washington. Am:. V-A Russian re-
public is certain in the opinion of Eli
hu Root the head of the American mis-
sion which returned here yesterday
from its three months' visit to report
to President Wilson. In Mr. Root's
opinion only the overwhelming of the
country by German armies can prevent
the erection of the Russian republic.
Internal difficulties are being over-
DOtM nnd the process of crystalization
is going on rapidly The extreme ele-
ments which threatened serious trouble
have been brought under control. Given
due opportunity and time and such as-
sistance as Americans can render in
material and moral support. In Mr.
Root's opinion the Russian republic is
n certuinty.
"The extreme element that favoring
destruction of all property lias been
gotten under control" nald Mr. Root.
It practically hud been driven out
of its temporary ascendency before the
OOnUnJaalon left Petrograd. I believe its
exclusion is permanent and timt it can-
not regain control.
Prospects lirighl.
"It will take soma time for the new
Russian government tO take actual
control though remarkable progress has
been made. The pro.ss?cts certainly are
bright."
"America's part in the reorganization
of Russiu." m Root said "already has
been Indicated What is needed are

Mr. Root has no fear of
by Russia of her financial
obligations.
Members of the commission declined
to discuss publicly the extent and prob-
able effect of the v minis separate dem-
onstrations in some of the principal
Russian prov inces such us the I'kralne
Finland the Caucasus and Siberia
but it is understood that these move-
ments are not reggrdod as a serious
menace to the new government.
The commission in its three months
work has traveled more than 10000
miles.
Major Washburn's View.
Major Stanley Washburn of the mis-
sion who hits spent several years in
Russia and had seen her armies in ac-
tion in numerous campaigns shared the
optimistic opinion of the others of the
party.
"We n I have no fear of Russia's
part in this war. save ns it concerns
a separate peace." he s.iid. "I'nless she
makes one. Russia will do her share
and as long us the present government
(lands there will he no separate peace.
"The next year must he one of pa-
tience with Russia. The military out-
look from a geoiruphical stanlsdnt.
now Is not good perhaps but this should
Is- a minor consideration. It Is the
elemental character of the Russians
that Is to lie considered.
"They are essentially of great forti-
tude and bravery. In the face of grogt
est reverses they have come back In
the iast and there Is every reason to
believe thev will again.
"People say Russia is through that
her troops are retreating and that she
cannot Is- counted usin to do her duty.
I deny such a statement most emphat-
ically. Lost :(MMt.(Hin People.
"Consider for a moment that since
beginning of this war Russia has lost
i " pi.- seven million in luit
tie and 11000.001 refugees and yet she
fights on. That Is not the attitude of
a nation Bbottl to retire from war."
Aooordlng to MaJ. Washburn. Ger-
many has spent approximately 47000.-
000 rubles for publicity In Russln.
A delegation of government offirluls
met the party at the railroad station.

the army who spent much of the time
at the front will raport to Secretary

sion people are not united at the pres

of Russia and I know that the peo-
ple are gruduallv getting bebln.l
government more strongly each day. Gf
course may are a sentimental and pe-
culiar people but they are anxious to
make a fight for the right; and If we
will do our share they certainly will do

Ardmore is not on any Interstate
