A Pathetic Case, Unless Rumor

If the reports that come to , Mr.
Anderson's.. ears in "Washington
are to betrnsted the most pathe
tic phase of the European . situa
tion is the' heart-rending peciica
ment of James Benjamin Duke,
immortalized by the Baleigh News
and Observer under the melodious
alias of "Buck.", Some. specula-
tion has been aroused bv the f ran-!
tic efforts of certain of Mr. Duke's !
underlings to get their, i chief but
of London. Their efforts, it will s
be remembered, coincided with
those deeds of derring 3o perform
ed by Cameron Morrison in behalf
of all Americans, than whom, - he
explained, th?re is none more so
than Buck that is, 'ueless these
rumors prove reliable.
But around Washington they
do say that Buck isn't American
after all. , It is reported there
that heart-sick and -disgusted by
the income tax and other deeds of
the abandoned , Democrats, he has
transferred his allegiance to King
George. He fled to England.
leaving Uncle Sam flat on his
back, so to -speak,.-to extricite
himself as best he could. Buck
decided to be no nephew of his;
he is now a full-fledged Britislier,
entitled tojsing "God Save Our
Gracious King" with the best of
them.
Alas, for the man of peace,
though. If there is no gratitude,
in a republic it, appears that neith
er is there, any 'discretiqiv 4

safely Anglicized before English,
George flew into a
rage
and be

dous war of history a - war ,x that
is liable to tax every resource of
Egland, even to the extent of call
ing every able-bodied man in the
kingdom to the colors. Now, al
though Buck is perfectly willing;
to serve King George, he is a man
of peace, as hereinbefore stated, until eleven o'clock in honor of
