WARSAW, Poland, December 18.—Gossip at bridge parties and sewing bees in republican Poland these days always turns to royalty. Over the teacups and the cards the good ladies of Warsaw are forever wagging their tongues in speculation upon whether they will ever have a King to curtsey to again. Most of all they like to speculate as to the possible identity of the future Polish King, when and if there should be ohe. Why not the son of the ex-Emperor of Austria, some of them inquire. And then there is Prince Nicolas of Ru- mania. Or what about = the young pretender to the fallen Hungarian throne, Prince Otto, marry a Rumanian princess—and thus unite Poland, Hungary and Rumania. The politicians say no. But the imaginative gossip goes merrily on.

He reached the house by long- distance telephone and requested an official to tell the long-winded speaker if he did not stop he would be de- feated at the forthcoming election. The surprised orator stopped. COOKS WANT PROTECTION. Spanish Convention to Ask Meas- ures Against Invaders.
