thwarted ii romance of omhful mlvon-
tnr. t Ivnvrr which rend like a '
Stevenson or n IW. Two hoys, six-'

tin r-MnMMmiNit ,.f the kingdom of ,
Sahara. They had Miullod maps and ;
devised cncinccrinc lnn, delved Into;

astonishing to those whose duly com

The iMivcr youth were planning
sHn to Invade the Sahara and sot up
their kingdom, over which they were
to rule ns Joint king. The nntlves
were to he organized Into a powerful
army of 7.000.0W1 men. This army was
to d!g treat ariesian wells, water from
which was to form two lakes wlih an
area of 2o0,0i square miles. The '
Senegal and Nile were to be flooded, ;
shutting the new kingdom safely In .
against hostile Incursion. Portugal j
was to le coerced Into ceding Portu
guese Kast Africa to the new kingdom : :
In return for which Portugal was to be !
helped to take British and French
Guiana and the former German pos
sessions In Africa. Each of the Joint ,
kings had figured out an Income of ;
J14.500.000 for himself.
A dream, born of a disordered fancy?
Sure, but
No nore of a dream than that of
; the German military party which Mnrt
I ed out four years ago to drive the Brit-
; Ish lion to his den. to clip the wings
!of Liberty and tie America to their
chariot wheels, Building a powerful
kingdom In a desert would be no great-
, er task than that assumed, by the '
Germans of laylnj clvlliiation by the
heels.
Henceforth, ir anyone proposes m ;
fly to the moon or to build a spiral
stairway to the earth's center, he may
cite the example of the ruler of a once
great people who assumed a task sim
ilar in Its elements of romantic adven
ture and similarly Impossible of
achievement. A new standard for fool
ish effort has been set for all time.
