Shall We Change Map By DR. JAMES M. GRAY Noted Bible Lecturer tiiiiiimii#* 'I 'MUmuil. I l'| 'llfl P ccu '' ar interest attaches to the words of Senator Villari in a recent address before \*r ' »■ the king and queen of Italy at the opening of Bj' 112 the international historical congress, in Ji which he made several allusions to the United States, saying among other things Jut *' iat Europe was in between her on the west and Russia on the east. These two forces, he added, Russia and the United Ma gt a t eSj QC ting on Europe, "are likely to ren der necessary a union of the different European countries which may completely change the geographical situation to the universal advantage of Europe." The peculiar interest is found in the fact that the prognostication of the senator as to its chief conclusion, if not the method of its ac complishment, has been the burden of the prophets of the Old and New Testaments for nearly three millenniums. These prophets, Joel, Isaiah, Micah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, Paul, Peter, Jude and John, are a unit, when properly interpreted, as to the federation of the nations of Europe towards the end of the present age. Not that they reveal in detail the principles governing this federation, though there is reason to believe they will be religious, educational, military and com mercial—especially the last named. That which the Bible forecasts is a great international trust of na tions with a single king at its head, to whom the kingdoms in the com bine have delegated their power for the time being and for the purposes of the trust. The second, seventh and eighth chapters of Daniel, and the thirteenth, eighteenth and nineteenth of Revelation are particularly -definite on these points. Curiously if / referred to as occupying the head of the trust is not recognized at first as a leading monarch of Europe, rather the opposite indeed, for he is described symbolically as a "little horn." And yet in his coming into power not only will his rise be rapid, but be marked by the overthrow of three of the other powers almost at the start. A profound English student of these subjects more than 50 years ago remarked that some such person as the reigning prince of Montenegro would answer the description very well. What a unique history has that little European principality! Its population is scarcely a quarter of a million, its area is but 3.630 square miles, and although it has been at war with Turkey for more than four centuries, yet it rep resents practically an absolute hereditary monarchy, and has maintained its present dynasty for 200 years. What thrilling interest these consid erations throw around the present movements of Russia on the one hand, and Turkey on the other, with reference to that little kingdom and her diminutive neighbors. Yillari's telescope, however, can pierce no farther than the period of Europe's advantage in the coming trust, but the spirit of prophecy exceeds that. Advantage at the beginning, the Bible tells us, will be -disadvantage in the end. Indeed it is a question not altogether settled in the minds of students of prophecy, whether the delegation of the power of the kings into the hands of one is for the purpose of foster ing this union or destroying it. There is a democratic and socialistic cast to such a union not in favor with earthly potentates, and, while cir cumstances may require them to yield assent to it at the first, we can -undersatid how they may desire to crush it in the end. The harlot of revelation rides and the beast for awhile, but afterwards it turns and rends her. The beast represents the kingdoms federated un der one head, but the harlot the moral, political and commercial system -which gives rise to it. The place of the United States in all this is not definitely revealed in prophecy, except as she may be allied or entangled with the Euro pean governments referred to. But events move strangely as well as rapidly in these days, and history grows apace. Prior to the war with Spain the Monroe doctrine was thought to be "a great gulf fixed" sep arating us from such "entangling alliances," but to-day it has become a bridge by which they may be fastened upon us at any time. The nations are like men, touch their pocketbooks and you touch their life. And the United States touches the pocketbook of every com mercial port of Europe. Russia seeks territory, and we trade, and be tween the two the old Roman empire must unite or die.

The troops, who re volted, surrounded the palace, assassi nated King Alexander, Queen Draga, the hitter's two brothers, Premier Markovitch, Ministers Petrovitch and Tudorovics, (Sen. Pavlovitch, the for mer minister of war, two aides-de camp and two other officers. Prince Karageorgevitch was pro claimed king. Vienna, June 12.—Dispatches from Belgrade say that since 1 lie late King Alexander's hist suspension of the Servian constitution the army has been animated by hostile feelings toward both the king and queen. The revolution was planned weeks ago. Secret committees were organ ized in the country and worked in co operation with the army. The lead ers of the revolution are said to have been the new ministers ot justice and finance, respectively M. Sehiokovies and M. Yelikovies, and the Sixth regi ment of infantry, garrisoning Bel grade, was designated to carry out the plot. It was originally intended that the plot should be executed later, but fears that the new Servian parliament would settle the question of the succession to the throne has tened matters. Col. Xaumovies, the adjutant of the king, was entrusted with the execu tion of the plans. While on duty at II o'clock Wednesday night Xaumo vies burst in the door leading to the sleeping apartments of the royal couple with a bomb and then enter ed, accompanied by Mischics and a number of junior officers. Previously the palace guard had been overpow ered and its commander was killed. Xaumovies presented to the king a form of abdication for his signature. The document contained the state ment that by marrying a "public prostitute" the king had degraded Scrvia and that therefore he must abdicate. The king's answer was to draw a revolver and kill Xaumovies on the spot. Miehics then picked up the docu ment and presented it again, and the king, who perceived his danger, tied with Queen Draga to the palace roof, both being in their night clothes. The officers followed, continuously firing, ultimately shooting down the royal couple. Maj. Lazarewies, who had been under the king's displeasure for two years, is said to have fired the shot which actually killed the king. At about 2 o'clock in the morn ing Queen Braga's two brothers were shot at their hoiy.es, as well as Pre mier Markovitch and liis brother-in law, M. Milkovitz. the minister of the interior, M. Tudorovics, and bis daughter, and the war minister, Gen. Pa vlovitch. (ieneva, .Time 12.—I'rince Peter Karageorgevitch, whom the Servian army has proclaimed king, has been living in Geneva since 1801. Through the Russian consul, an in timate friend of Prince Karageorge vitch, the Associated Press corres pondent obtained the following state ment: "Prince Karagforgevitch declares himself innocent of any knowledge of the tragedy at Helgrade. He said that through his grandfather he un doubtedly had the best right to the Servian throne, and intended taking it if possible for the sake of his son, but he expected to meet with great difficulties and hoped for assistance from Austria."

T»t 112 hti-ltvp <>i * lileaso'a iii'iulliig Ho tel" Arc lludly Crippled-The WHI lie Stubbornly Contested. Chicago, June 1 .'f.- —The strike in the hotels of Chicago, impending for the last three weeks, materialized yester day and 25 of the leading notels of .Chicago are badly crippled in all de partments. All the hotels are run ning, however, and the proprietors declare that the establishments will remain open for business at any cost. The first call to the employes of the hotels togo on strike was made by the walking delegates at !) o'clock Friday morning and till day the dele gates were visiting the different ho tels represented in the Motel Keep ers' association and were calling out the help. In several places the walking dele gates were refused admission and were compelled to signal the em ployes from the outside. In others the strike leaders were met with the declaration that there was no need' of making a call on the men togo out, the hotel proprietors telling the help it would be necessary to get out and stay until t.he trouble was over. The last hotels in which strikes were declared were the Virginia, the Oreat Northern, the Brevoort. and tlio Union. The men in these places walked out last night. The Lexington hotel signed the scale presented by the union five minutes after the help had been call ed out. The proprietors have agreed to submit nearly every point at issue to arbitration, but to this the unions will not consent. They insist that their demands for higher wages and shorter hours must be granted be fore they will arbitrate anything and insist also upon the absolute recog nition of the union. To this latter demand the proprietors say they will never agree so long as the strikers maintain their present attitude. The proprietors have expressed a willing ness to arbitrate this proposition also, but, the men will not recede from their position. The union also demands that the members of the Hotel Keepers' association come to the offices of the employes' associa tion as individuals and not as mem bers of any association. Pickets surround every hotel in which a strike has been declared? and details of police are patrolling the sidewalks around the buildings. So far there has not been the slightest evidence of disorder. All the hotels are open as usual and the proprietors are confident that they will be able to care for all guests that may arrive. Several pro prietors have imported help from outside and say they can secure more whenever they need it. The members of the Restaurant Keepers' association last night took action that is practically certain to shut up a number of their establish ments today. The restaurant keep ers decided that they will offer to submit all differences to a board of arbitration, to be composed of seven members, three from the unions, three from the Restaurant Keepers' association and the seventh man to be chosen by the six, the decision of this board to be binding. All em ployes who will sip-n an agreement to accept this proposal will be allowed to remain at work and those who re fuse will be asked to leave until such time as they shall be willing to ac cept arbitration. The unions already have refused to accept arbitration, and it is practically certain the offer of the association will be refused again. Shr wax a SiiingKl«r.
