TRAGEDY OF A KING'S SONS.

In few days' time a National Assembly is to be convoked in Mad- rid to change the constitution of Spain and ratify the decision of King Alfons to exclude bis eldest sen. the Prince of the Asturias, and his second son, Prince Jaime, from the succession and nominate Prince Juan, the third son, as beir to the throne.
The reason for the King's re- markable decision is a mysterious malady called hemophilia, which has brought tragedy on his family.
In the autumn of last year the the severa representatives "of Islamic States, including Afghanis tan, met at Angora with a view to forming treaties of friendship with And al- the Turkish Republic. though there was much speculation in the European Chancellories. re- garding the aims and objects of that Grand Alliance, the Govern ment at Kabul, at any rate, has new takea definite steps to avail itself of its advantages by recruit ing some thirty doctors, lawyers, and mechanical engineers from

The Afghans have also intensified theft intellectual co-operation with Turkey by sending young students there for technical education. number of Afghan students visited the Turkish military academies last year.
It is a predisposition to hemorr hage, and the slightest blaw or wound causes, a rush of blood that is almost impossible to check. The Tsarevitch of Russia suffered from it before he was murdered by the Bolshevists in 1918, and it has undermined the health of Alfonso, Prince of the Asturias.

"In order to make a definite re- port on the Crown Prince's illness. we made a deep study into hemop- hilia, and we find that the prin cipal cause is a violent shock en dured by the father or mother or beth, before the children are born.

Afghanistan is now in a position, by her attitude towards Turkey, to avoid arousing the suspicions of the Western European nations, who night judge the extent of their number of friendship by the Alghan students sent to their coun- tries.
