DARK FUTURE FOR HOHENZOLLERNS If Hohcnzollerus were capable of thinking and feeling like a human being it would be interesting to know what thoughts fill their minds when they peer into the future and wonder what fields of en ¬ joyment adventure and travel will Tc open to them after the war Will the crown prince be able to dismiss from liTs mind the knowledge that he lias killed more Ger ¬ mans than have any three of the generals opposed to himV Will the widows and orphans of the slain forget that they were sacrificed to a mad attempt throne Does this heir to the imperial ermine realize that his name will live in history linked to bloody and futile battles fought not to save the fatherland but to save his own weak chinned face in the eyes of the nation that he will yet be called to govern provided all goes well with his dynasty dynastyThere There arc dark days and dreary nights ahead for the Ilouenzollcrns Unable to visit the capitals of polite nations their manners will deteriorate and the fork become a mere haunting menipry For them no big game hunting in the Rockies or tiger shooting in India no merry evenings In Paris no trips through the beautiful English country with stops at comfortable historic inns To them alone among all the dwellers on earth will be denied the pleasures and advantages of foreign travel and association with cultivated society Truly a sad outlook is theirs New York Herald
