Show HUNS' GRIP FAILING. German domination of eastern Europe will vanish with the first big disasters to the kaiser's legions. The Bussians, Rumanians and Finns will bo glad to escape from the yoke. In Finland, where German' penetration penetra-tion has been most successful and where tho aristocratic forces took control of the government under German protection, protec-tion, an attempt was made to establish a monarchy, ior a time the German element ele-ment had everything its own way. The landtag was convoked to adopt a government gov-ernment bill to set up a monarchy. The first Vote was taken as a (sign that the scheme would be carried out, but the government failed to obtain the necessary neces-sary two-thiids vote on the second reading of tho measure. In disgust the German agents adjourned the landtag and will try some other method of subjecting sub-jecting the people to the will of the Hun. Kaiser Wilholm, emulating Napoleon, Na-poleon, was working hard to provide thrones for his sons. The monarchy of Finland was to have been assigned to one of his six sons, who have been kept away from the battle front probably with this object in view. As yet not one of the sons has gained a throne and we venture the prediction pre-diction if the fighting in France continues con-tinues to go against the Germans not one of the kaiser's precious offspring will wear a crown. And that prediction predic-tion applies to the crown prince as well as to the other five. |
