LISBON REPORTERS
KEENLY QUESTIONED
BY GERMAN PRINCE
LISBON, May 27.—(/P)—The wife of
t the former Crown prince of Ger
many, Princess Cecelie, accompa
nied by two of her sons, Wilhelm
and Louis Ferdinand, passed re
cently thru this port on her way to
the Canary Islands where she is to
spend some of the summer months.
The party endeavored to travel in
cognito on board the steamer Cap
Nord, but Louis Ferdinand, impatient
at being denied the freedom o! the
ship, wandered out on deck one Jay
and gave the secret away. The par
ty occupied a suite of rooms on the
upper deck, and all the members of
the family kept much to themselves.
This confinement bored Prince Louis,
and he sought human contacts in the
smoking salon. He attracted consid
erable attention, and finally a fellow
traveler approached him and said:
“How like you are to the second
son of the Crown prince!”
“I have bene told this before,” an
swered the young man, “but I must
! say I can’t see it myself, and the
idea does not please me, because I
am a republican.”
The prince’s questioner, ?. feiveni
monarchist, protested and began to
praise the royal family, whereupon
the astute prince, who evidently had
been sounding public opinion, dis
closed his identity.
Thus the incognito was broken,
and after that the two boys mixed
freely with many other passen
gers. Crowds of curious people lin
ed the Lisbon docks when the Cap
Nord arrived. The German minister
was among those who called on the
princess, and a former German sol
dier presented her with a bunch of
lilacs.
Prince Louis turned the tables on
the reporters by interviewing them
instead of being interviewed. He
showed special curiosity in ascertain
ing the reason why Portugal had de
clared war against Germany, and if
the Portuguese felt any animosity
against his country.
Replying as to whether he would
acept the imperial crown if ever
it was offered him, the prince said
that the lives of kings and emperors
consisted of great sacrifices and con
tinual efforts that were not recog
nized or appreciated; but that if
ever his country needed him he
was ready to make that sacrifice.
He begged the reporters to speak to
him in any language but French,
and chose Spanish for preference.
Mrs. Anita Spaulding, popular pi
anist of Seward received a fine piano
on the last boat. She will again give
lessons to young Seward folk.
Gateway want-ads bring results.

American Puts Darwinism
In Same Class with Dodo
LONDON, May 27.—UP)—-Assertion
that Darwinism was as “dead as
the dodo,” so far as its .being regard
ed as a vera causa of the origin of
species is concerned, was made pub
lic recently by George McCready,
professor of geology at Union Col
lege, Nebraska, addressing the Vic
toria Institute on “Revelation and
Evolution. Can they be harmon
ized?”
Professor MtcCready contended that
the most hopelessly pessimistic of
the world’s prophets were those who
had most completely adopted and as
similated the doctrine of organic evo
lution. Such a scheme of cosmic
despair, he said, was completely at
variance with that portrayed in the
Christian's Bible.
“The time has tuny arrived for
those who think for themselves and
who do not entrust the keeping of
their opinions to any set of supposed
experts, to dismiss once for all the
idea that man may possibly have
arisen by a long drawn out process
of development from preceding ani
mal ancesters,” said the professor.
“I am confident tha.t in this year,
1925, sufficient scientific facts are
available to settle this long debated
problem in a way entirely satisfac
tory to the believer in the literal
truthfulness of the first chapter ot
Genesis.”
OFFICIAL WASHINGTON IS
INCENSED AT AMERICANS
WASHINGTON, May 27— Official
Washington resents the attitude of a ;
number of prominent Americans who
are abroad and who in speeches are
deprecating the steps taken by the
U. S. government to secure payment |
of its war loans. Attention was at- j
tracted lately to a report that Otto H. |
Kahn, a New York banker, had apolo- i
gized in a Paris address for steps be- j
ing taken by the State department. It |
; is said that Kahn is interpreted as
saying that the reported pressure was
brought to bear by politicians who
did not represent the American na
tion.
