Inviting imprisonment by a reckless shot at the Fuhrer the Bishop declared: "Great men can be spoiled by too much worship and adulation and made incompetent to fulfill the aims of statesmanship. No nation should seek to elevate a faithful son of the Fatherland to the throne...
...bishop, monsignor and priest. Escorted by Knights of Columbus in cocked hats, the ecclesiastics marched through crowded Detroit streets in what was the year's most showy parade, taking half an hour to pass through the portals of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament. There on a throne sat Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the U. S., whose name (pronounced chee-kone-yonny) had become to many an impious Detroiter "Chicken Annie." Three papal bulls were read and Archbishop Mooney knelt in prayer until the Apostolic Delegate led him to the throne, placed a crosier (crook...
...Turkey [in joining Germany and Austria against Britain, France, Belgium and Russia] Egypt is placed under the protection of His Majesty [King George V] and will henceforth constitute a British Protectorate.

She remained his governess until he was 15 and the Egyptian Parliament voted $80,000 to defray the expenses of himself and suite during the Crown Prince's first year of education in England. With Egyptian guards bristling all over...
Fuad I came to the throne poor, yet left a private fortune of $50,000,000 to Farouk I, thus making the new King probably the wealthiest Egyptian. His Late Majesty accomplished this by confiscating the estates of the mad Prince Ahmed Seif Eddin. That he was mad or at least mad at King Fuad, the Prince proved decisively by firing a bullet which lodged in His Majesty's throat. This made Fuad I often cough and gurgle horribly, and His Majesty carried the bullet to his tomb...
