UGOSLAVIA WAITS " RECOVERY OF KNG Commission Reported Paris Secretly Discussing His Condition. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 24.—Complications which have arisen in Jugoslavia be cause of the illness of King Alexan der. and the consequent delay in his assumption of the thronme, have been met by the Jugoslav cabinet, declares a Belgrade dispatch to the East Eu- rope News Agency here. The cabinet has decided that the interval of elght days between the proclamation of a new king and his taking oath of of- fice. provided for by the constitution, will begin on the day Alexander is announced to have recovered from the iliness which keeps him in his apart- ments in Neuilly. Heirship Under Consideration. The question of sclecting the heir| to the throme of Jugoslavia, whose name must be announced immediate- Iy after the corcnation, has also been d by the cabinet, it is said. Sentiment is reported to be divided| between Alexander's cousin, Prince Paul Kara-Georgevitch. and one of! the chiidren of the new king's sister, | Helene. widow of Grand Duke John! Constantinovich of Russia. who was} slain at Perm by the bolisheviki in| 1919, The Jugoslav commission charged with administering the oath of office to King Alexander, which left Bel- grade Friday, is said in Serbian circles 1o be twenty-four hours overdue. An unofficial report that will not down, however. is that the commission al- ready is in Paris. and is secrtely discussing the rumored physical dis- ability of Alexander to occupy the throne. Nature of Aflment Mystery. Only the first official bulletin on the conditlon of Alexander mentioned ap- pendicitis, the subsequent ones mak- ing no reference to the nature of the isease. Dr. Bernard Cuneo, the chief surgeon in attendance, would not comment today on published reports that Alexander was not suffering from appendicitis, merely saying no operation was necessary and that he could add nothing to the officlal bul- letins which have been issued. The} surgeon was unable to state when Alexander’s physical condition would Permit his return to Belgrade. Thers is a certaln amount of com- ment in official and diplomatic circles over the failure of the commission to appear. Serbian diplomatie and official cir- cles insist there is mo question of Alexander’'s hesitating to accept the crown, pointing out that -he already has officially issued a proclamation accepting- it, and say that the fmpos- in sibility of Alexander's making the journey to Belgrade immediately through his physical disability alone is responsible for his remaining in Pars.

Span- ish_troops have been thrown forward inté positions which protect communt- catlons with the town of Zocco.

BERLIN, Germany, Aug A man who had tried to com suicide und apparently had suc- ceeded, came to life again in the Leipsic morgue. Finding himself l 1ying between two dead men, he almost died again from the shock. This strange story was told y terday in newspaper dispatc trom Leipsic. A case of unrequited. love had driven the young man to an out- Iving cemetery, ere he shot himself, apparently through the heart. When_the body was picked up and examined by a doctor it was found that heart action had stopped. The body was removed to the city morgue and there placed between two other corpses. The morgue attendants were just returning from their office when a plercing yell from behind struck their ears, sending cold shivers down their backs. Turning around they perceived the young man they had just left there for dead vainly trying to struggle to his feet. 9 They rushed back only to find the body again lying motion- less. This time, however, he had only swooned from the shock at finding himself between the dead men, according to the doctors, who examined him and found the. heart beating again. An opera- | tion was hurriedly performed on the man and it was discovered that the bullet had lodged in a muscle of the heart. .The man is recov- ! ering rapidiy and the doctors ex- pect him to live. o DIES ON VACATION.
