"Fight or get off the throne!"-
That was the order a mere prime
minister gave his king the other day.
Prime Minister Titus Majoresco of
Roumania was talking to King Char-
les, whose supine attitude in the new
situation has shamed his subjects.
The king at once signed the order
for calling out the army and Rou-
mania placed herself in an attitude
of defense.
The primine minister told the king
several other things, among them
that when he ascended the throne of
Roumania forty-seven years ago he
was a pauper, but that he had man-
aged to make several million dollars
At the time of the visit Maporesco
was backed up by a mob just out-
side the palace, a mob which would
have broken inside had it been given
a little encouragenent.

TOBER FOURTH.
That a charter has been applied
for the Panhandle State Fair to be
held in Amarillo this year, beginning
October, and hatmore than the
amount-of stock pro rated to Ama-
rillo has been subscribed, was the
statement made last night by A. S.
Stinnett, chairman of the stock so-
licitation committee, at a Fair mass
meeting held at the Chamber of Com-
merce.
The meeting was characterized by
marked enthusiasm, and active plans
were outlined for a campaign in be-
half of the project throughout the
district. Rousing speeches were
made by a number of those in at-
tendance, including Judge J. N.
Prowning, J. N. Haney and J. W.
Crudgington.
The meeting was presided over by
First Vice President J. N. Beasley
in the absence of President Bryant
of the Chamber of Commerce. The
chairman called upon A. S. Stinnett
for a statement of the work accom-
plished by the stock committee. Mr.
Stinnett stated that stock to the
amount of $11,800 had already been
taken and that more was in sight.
Preliminary steps were under way
toward securing a charter, he declar-
ed, and nothing remained but an
active campaign in the outlying dis-
trict.
With a view, of establishing cordi-
al fraternal relations with the Platn-
view Chamber of Commerce, to the
end that the South Plains metropolis
might co-operate in furthering the
Panhandle Fair project, it was de-
termined that a delegation represent-
ing the Chamber of Commerce shall
go to Plainview next Wednesday. The
question of a special Fair train was
discussed, and the proposition will

By Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, July 12.—Ameri-
ean Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
has protested to minister of foreign
affairs against further anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations but up to a late
hour, no answer has been received
and students are planning a demon-
stration tomorrow and they assert
they will not be troubled by the au-
thorities.
In a note the ambassador deplored
the fact that the youth of the capital
were permitted to indulge in violence
to American residents in Mexico, and
indicated the danger of allowing stu-
dents and other participants to be
used as tools by designing persons.
He reminded the Mexican govern-
ment that if any American was in-
jured he would use all the power at
the embassy’s command to secure re-
paration. " Alarmed at the develop-
ment of hostilities displayed by news-
papers, the number of Americans
leaving for Vera Cruz was greatly
augmented today. The Ambassador
is sending frequent reports. to Wash-
ington regarding the situation.

Growth of Philippine Imports
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—
Increased imports into the Philip-
pines in the ten months ended April
last, peculiarly resulted in reducing
the customs receipts of the Insluar
government. This is explained in
figures received today by the Insular
Affairs Bureau of the War Depart-
-ment, by the fact that the increase
was in exports from America, which
enter free of duty and was at the
expense of foreign exporters’ trade.
While the increase in American
imports was greatest in wheat flour,
the imports in Southern cotton
cloths grew from 51 to 70 per cent.
Altogether the imports from the
United States were valued at $20.00-
000, compared with $16,500,000 dur-
ing the corresponding period of last
year. At the same time the export
trade of the islands showed a large
increase, being approximately $2,-
500,000 greater for the ten months
than for the ten months in the pre-
ceding’year.. —
