Alexander was later desig~ nated prince regent by the elder Karageorgevitch. and on November 26. 1518, the national council of Ju zoslavia at Agram, Croatia, confirmed the choice, thus relieving the vener- ble king of the rulership of Serbia fontenegro.

Early in 1919 the aged king was re- imoved to a qulet retreat near Athens, Greece, where he lived in a small six- room house overlooking the Bay of Phaeleron. A -personal secretary and his physician were his only compan- ions. He had only one diversion, an occasional early morning ride around the Greek capital in the side car of a motor _cycle driven by a Serbian sol- dier. To avold the gaze of crowds he disguised himself with a mask and a pair of goggles. Later his health be- came 80 feeble that he passed most of kis time in bed or a wheelchair: Last Granted Interview. When a correspondent for the As- sociated Press called to see. him in May, 1919, the king consented to car- Ty on a conversation only through the person of the Serbian minister to Greece. It was the last interview granted by the former ruler of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. To meet his long-cherished wish that he might die on his native soil the Serbian ai- thorities in 1920 brought the invalid king back to his beloved Belgrade. He avoided society. however, and XKept aloof from all court and public functions. King Peter was tall. erect and mus- cular, and in spite of his age had the appearance of a much younger man, “He had all the rugged qualities of one sprung from the soil,” wrote one ‘bivgrapher. “He took pride in refer- ring to humble origin, and throughout his life lived modestly and unostentatiously. He was extremely dcmocrfiic and_affable. His tastes were shpple to the point of severity. He was#' beloved by hia people, par- ticularly the peasantry, who called hln ‘Father Peter.’ " - 1 Career Becloud his royal career was beclouded e and terrible tragedy—the fon®~ of his predecessor, King Alexander and the latter's wife, een gJtaga—in the palace at' Bel- stade oh Junme 10, 1903.

Milosh established himself as a prince in 1817, recog- nized evén by the sultan. Meanwhile “Black George” sought to reclaim his power and was slain. Long Struggle for Power. .The Obrenovitch family held sway. until 1842, when Alexander Kara- georgeviteh, a son of “Black George. Wwas elected prince, mainly through the influence of Russia. But he came to grief in his rela- ions with Russia and Turkey, and was driven out of the country by his rebellious subjects, who reinstated the Obrenovitch family. -Michael, a son of Milosh, became king, only to be murdered at_the instigation of the exiled Alexander Karageorgevitch, on June 10, 1868. Alexander failed n his attempt to seize the crown, and was_forever banished. The Obreno- vitch youth, Milan, who Bucceeded to the throne, was so notorious for his excesses that he was soon exiled to fligate father back to Belgrade as commander-in-chief _of ~the army. Meanwhile he astounded Europe by his infatuation for Draga, the di- vorced. wife of a Col. Maschin, who was lady-in-waiting _to his mother, Queen Natalie. The ‘Serbians resented the scandals of the court. After the marriage took place, in defiance of all that was said against it, the in- triguing Draga was exposed in her efforts to palm off a bogus child as heir-in-law to the throne. Butchery of Jume. It was at this juncture that the butchery of the night of June 10 oc- curred. It was on the anniversary of the murder of Michael Obrenoyitch. This- time the Obrenovitch dynasty was wiped out. The pretender, Peter Karageorgevitch, was then liv- ing in Geneva, supposeddly removed from all of the political intrigues at Belgrade. When word was carried to him of the assassination he ex- pressed his horror, and declared the crime had been perpretrated without his knowledge. Five days later he ascended the throne. The European nations broke oft all diplomatic rela- tions, and resumed them only upon promise that the new Kking would punish the conspirators. This, it is charged, was hever done. Despite this handicap. King Peter accomplished many big things for Serbia and became the idol of the people, because of his strong anti- Austrian and pro-Russian’attitude. —_— AMERICAN DOCTOR HURT.
