War Displaces Indian King.

The little king of Annam, a French possession in farther India, who is distrusted because of alleged friendliness to Germans, has been dethroned. Paris papers have been discussing the question of what Is to he done with—him. His father and his suite, as well as himself, must be placed in a home far from the comic opera throne that he occupies. France has many and widely scattered possessions beyond the seas. There has been much hesi-* tation as to whether he should be sent to Martinique, Guadeloupe, Senegal, Madagascar or Reunion. All these places have set forth the advantages that attach to each one separately, and the disadvantages of the others. This for the reason that the exiles will have money to } spend, over 100,000 francs yearly. It is quite likely that the Reunion isle, in the Indian ocean, win receive the royal boy and his retinue and receive the benefit of the revenue that will be expended for his “board and keep.”
