Monarchs in Exile
Monarchs in Exile.
Democracy is not everywhere sufficient, and in various parts of Europe there are ex-Monarchs who wait—more or less hopefully —for thrones to return to them. The world has a very real concern in what happens to the exile at Doorn, for German Hohenzol-lernism might possibly precipitate another conflagration; but the world's interest in some of the other thrones is mainly romantic. Carol, on and off Rumania's, has been a subject for the moving picture gazettes, and they also like to give snaps of Alfonso waiting calmly until the unrepublican Spaniards grow sick of the Republic. Wilhelm III. and Alfonso typify hope deferred.
