BALKAN AFFAIRS IN SERIOUS STATE Ferdinand’s Death Puts Ru- mania in Critical Posi- tion Internally. BY CONSTANTINE BROW By Cable to The Star and Chicazo Daily News.

Ferdinand's 5-year-old grandson, Michael, has be'n prociaimed King. | under the regency of his uncle, Prince Nicholas; the Archbishop of Rumania | and the chief justice of the Supreme | Court. | King Ferdinand undoubtedly will ¢ be mourned by his subjects. Although not a Rumanian—he was summoned to the country by his late uncle, King Carol, whiler serving as lieutenant in a Prussian guard regiment—nhe learned quickly the language and customs of his new fatherland. Ferdinand ascended the throne vader the most difficult circumstances in 1914, when the central and powers were using all the tricks diplomacy possesses to draw Rumania in_on either side in the great war. The King. a proud Ger- man at heart, did not hesitate when in 1916 he had to choose between his sentimental inclinations, which were with Germany, and the interests of Rumania, which demanded co-opera- tion with the allies. Nation Soon Defeated. Rumania was overrun and defeated in less than a year, and it appeared that the King—threatened by the bolsheviks on one side and by the angry Germans on the other—might lose his throne. He prevented the bolsheviks from gaining the upper hand by giving the Rumanian peasants land they never before had possessed, and set an example by al- lowing the government to divide the vast crown properties among them. The danger of bolshevism induced the Kaiser to permit his “treacherous” nephew to preserve his crown, and when the central powers were de- feated, the lucky Ferdinand saw him- self sovereign not of a country of 7,000,000 people, but of a largely in- creased territory with some 17,000,000 subjects. The situation, however, was difficult. The new Rumania was formed from territory taken by force from Russia end Hungary, and both neighbors, especially Russia, were looking for a propitious ‘moment to get back what they had lost. Bolshevik intrigues, linked with maladministration by Rus- sian officials, caused discontent in the new provinces, but the prestige of the *monarch kept things in order. New Era of Trouble Opens. Ferd:nand's death opens an era of trouble for Rumania. The young sovereign will be guided by Rumanian politicians, and the misdeeds of offi- cials will have greater repercussions in the annexed territories than during Ferdinand's reign. The army, which stood by the King, has much sym- pathy with the exiled Crown Prince, whom many of the officers would like to see back. The Rumanians, while realizing the light heartedness of the former Crown Prince, which they at- tribute to his exuberant youth, would prefer to have a man, even of his type, instead of a child, entirely in the hands of politicians. They argue that Ferdinand himself had his own romantic love affair when he was the young heir to the throne, yet he made & desirable monarch. Rumania's enemies are closely watching developments and preparing to jump at her throat at the first opportune moment. Ogden Armour Better.

WASHINGTON, CAROLMAKESNOMOVE TOLEAVE PARIS FOR FATHER'S FUNERAL Prince Lives Quietly With Small Household in Suburb. Seeks Privacy and Gives No Indication of Political Activity. By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 20.—When news of the death of King Ferdinand was re- ceived in Paris the question that in- v arose in the minds of all was how will this affect Carol?”—the for- r Crown Prince, who renounced his ghts to the throne a year and a half 0. Soon after the renunciation of his val prerogatives Carol came to rance, and for the last few months has been living quietly at his villa at Neuilly, outside Par giving no in: dication of what action he planned ni view of the certainty that his father’s life was nearing the end. Power Is in Regency. Even rumors—constantly afloat the past few months—that he would at t try to visit his father's bedside bafore the end came, ceased recently, and it sumed by Rumanian cir- cles here that the easy-going prince had accepted the dictum that he had forever given way in favor of his voung son, Prince Michael, born of his marriage Wwith Princess’ Helen of Greece, who now becomes titular ruler. The power under the constitu- tion, however, will really rest in the hands of a regency, consisting of the King's second son, Prince Nicholas; the patriarch of Rumania and the chief justice of the Supreme Court. News of the death of King Ferdi- nand after a long illness that lasted for more than a year caused little sur- prise in Paris, for despite official denials it was known that the mon- arch’s malady was incurable. Carol Stays at Neuilly. Carol, who left his villa in,Neuilly early this morning for a trip into the country, returned shortly before noon and was still in his home at 2 o'clock this afternoon. No apparent preparations were be- ing made at the villa this afternoon for a hurried departure and, unless Carol leaves Paris by this evening, he will be unable to reach Bucharest in time to attend his father's funeral. “His royal highness regrets that he cannot see you,” a correspondent for the Associated Press was told by the mald who answered the door at the villa. Only a few months age this same maid here merely said, “Mr. Caraiman does not receive newspaper men.” Carol recelved no_official advice of the death of his father from the Ru- manian legation in Paris, his informa- tion coming in a telegram from Pu- charest. Blames Jon Bratiano. Friends of the former Crown Prince do not think that he will make an at- tempt to go to Bucharest at this time, especially with Jon Bratiano in pow- er. Carol has always held that Pra- tiano was his arch political encmy and believes that the premier was re- sponsible for the decree of last yeor depriving him of his dynastiz rights and expelling him from the country he had expected to rule. Carol is said to be not overburdened with money. His mode of living has changed greatly during recent months. He no longer is seen in Montmartre and the other resorts which he fre- quented in the early days of his resi- dence in France. (Continued from First Page.) are not strong enough to impose him upon the country. Nor has there been any indication that Carol cares to come back home. That he is not wealthy, and that he does not work, every one knows, but that he has suf- ficlent sources of income to live a leisurely life near Paris is obvious to all who have observed his comings and goings at the French capital. To all appearances he is quite content with things as they are. Bratianos Are Victorious. The Bratianos and their party candi- dates won an overwhelming victory in the recent elections to Parliament, and the Bratianos, now strongly in- trenched in power, are solidly opposed to Carol, as is Prince Stirbey, who, with them, form a little group of the richest and most powerful men 'n Rumania politically and economically. Prince Michael, who is destined to become King when he comes of age, has not been a particularly healthy 'd. Twice this year his mother, *n, has taken him to the seashore, sumably to play in the sand, but 1ally. it is said here, to strengthen his constitution, particularly his throat and lungs. Princess Helen, Carol's wife, who has conducted herself with great calm and dign:ty since Carol abandoned her, is a popular figure in Bucharest, apparently all closses sympa- e takes no part'in the of court life or that of Rumanian society, her public appear- ances hoinx confin~d to bazaars, fetes, teas and other functions given for cha Marie’s Position in Doubt. What Queen Marle, who for vears {has been better known to the world | than her more retiring husband, will {do in European politics, now that she is retired from the throne, Is a ques- tion which already is being thought of. Whether she will be as influen- tial in international affairs with the regency ruling as she was sharing the throns with Ferdinand is the problem. No bells tolled and no extra editions of the newspapers appeared on the streets early this morning to an- nounce the passing of King Ferdinand. Tho fact was kept a secret closely i | within the inner circles of the court W PITTS 1AL R BURGH TES.

The council of ministers already was sitting at 7:30 o'clock this morn- ing to discuss the situation created by the King's death and to arrange for his funeral. & The funeral probably wil' be held at Curtea de Arges, about 40° miles east of Sihaia. Curtea is the =eat of a monastery and a eathedral which because of its antiquity and great beauty is known as “The Pearl of Rumania.” Bucharest newspapers appeared to- day with columns lined in black and flags were half-staffed on all public buildings. Perfect calm existed | throughout the capital and throughout the country., Was Shouted Down. King Ferdinand ascended the Ru- manian throne during the troublous times shortly after the outbreak of the World War, when his country was greatly agitated regarding the position Rumania was to take in the conflict. During the first two months of the war Rumania, under the rule of the late King Charles, it was charged, had been secretly aiding the central powers. Ferginand took the oath as king upon death of his Friday or Saturday with the burial: . ? dvaeRwesD, EX-CROWN PRINCE CAROL His life at present is little different from that of the retired business men, who are his neighbo in fashionable Neuilly. Prince Carol lately has been taking long, all-d drives into the country, almost always accompanied by friends. He has been in good spirits and seem- ingly has taken little notice of reports from Bucharest indicating that the death of his father was imminent. Openly Known as “Prince.” For a long time the former crown prince has sought to train his house- hold to speak of him as “Monsieur ," considering himself a pri Nevertheless, he now is spoken of frankly as “Prince,” although the doors of his home are so well guarded that little is known of his private life and conversations ex- cept by a few of his intimates. The prince still lives in a handsome, three-story villa in the best residential section of Neuilly, a mile outside the walls of Paris. His residence is built in solidly with other villas on both sides, but privacy is protected by high stone walls on both sides of the front yard and rear court of his villa. There is a 7-foot iron fence along the street, leaving the curlous a chance to peek only through the main iron gate, which is kept locked. Prince Carol's car is kept in a garage in the rear court. Generally he and his friends enter the car there, unseen. and the front gate is opened only when he is ready to drive out. By these means he avoids the curious crowds which were so frequent when “the man who threw away a throne" first took up his residence in Neuilly. Household Is Small. A high, cheaply constructed build- ing, still unoccupied, has been erected on adjoining property at the rear of the prince’s villa. This hides the back court and rear windows from view and deprives Carol's neighbors of their former glimpses of him, causiog them to wonder whether the new building was put up at his order. The prince still has a secretary, but his household is small, and extra serv- vants are employed temporarily when- ever he entertains extensively. Carol's friends say he lives well. but not in royal state. Visitors to the villa usuually are people of about the same age as Carol, and there has been no evidence of any political activity. His lack of prompt news of his father's weakening and death is taken to indicate that he has not been maintaining organized com- munication with Bucharest. KING FERDINAND IS DEAD; GRANDSON PROCLAIMED RULER uncle in October, 1914, and immedi- ately announced that Rumania would remain neutral unless attacked. During a speech from the throne in November, 1915, King Ferdinand was shouted down with cries of “Down with Hungary!” “Down with Germany!” “Down with the Hohen- zollerns!” This demonstration was taken as an indication of the govern- ment’s sympathy in the conflict, Ferdi- nand and his predecessor having heen princes of the house of Hohenzollern. In August, 1916, the former German kaiser sent a letter to King Ferdi- nand informing him that it was his intention to send a special mission to Bucharest relative to Rumania’s posi- tion. The King replied that such-an act would be inopportune and, since he was a constitutional monarch, he would be obliged to refer the envoy to his ministers. A few days later Rumania entered the conflict on the side of the allies by declaring war against Austria. This action was be- lieved to have resulted from the influ- ence of Queen Marie, who was a prin- cess royal of Great Britain and Ire- iand. The declaration by Rumania was followed almost immediately by Germany declaring war against Ru- mania. Plots Against Life. With his troops at the front, King Ferdinand’s throne began to totter from intrigue charged against Ru- manian politicians and German agents, who planned to dethrone the ruler and install a German prince in his place. There were even plots against the life of the King. Ferdinand Victor Albert Mainrad was born at Sigmaringen, August 24, 1865, the son of Prince Leopold of Hehenzollern and Antonia, Infanta of Portugal. He was educated in Ger- many and was an officer in the Ger- man army. He was created a prince of Rumania by royal decree in 1889 and the path was cleared for his ascension to the throne by a series of renunciations. The heir presumptive of King Charles was his elder brother, Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sig- maringen, who renounced his rights in favor of his son, Prince Wilhelm. The latter in turn resigned his rights in favor of his younger brother, Ferdi- nand. Had Previous Love Affair. King Ferdinand achieved consider- able notoriety before his ‘marriage through a love affair with Mlle. Helene Vacaresco, a favorite of, the then Queen of Ruma; ‘When marriage between Ferdinand and Princess Mar- ie, daughter of Alfred, Duke of Edin- KING'S ILLNESS CUT OFF QUEEN'S VISIT Marie Left America Month Ahead of Schedule to Be at Bedside. By the Assoclated Press. The illness of King Ferdinand, which culminated in his death, caused Queen Marie to curtail her tour of the United States last Fall by a month so she could rush to his bedside. Accompanied by two of ber chil- dren, Prince Nicolas and Princess Ileana, the Queen had traveled about 10,000 miles in Canada and the United States when news of the King's ill- ness distressed her and caused her 10 sall for Rumania on November 24, in- stead of December 24 as her original plans called for. With her earlier return she canceled a tour of the South and a second visit to Wash- ington. Queen Marie reached America at New York on October 18 and a month from that day decided to return. At Louisville on November 18 sh ceived the bad news of the King's condition and announced that she would depart immediately. Political Troubles Feared. Possible political complications in the event of the King's death were believed to have also entered into the Queen’s decision to cut short her American tour. Rumanian govern- ment officlals at the time, however, announced that they had made no re- quest for her immediate return. Tgsagreements among the members of Qu-en Marie’s party, which started soon after her arrival in New York, marked her tour of the country. The squabbles mainly were the result of efforts of her friends and aldes to serve her, and she endeavored con- stantly to 1. itore impaired fri 3 3 with the diplomatic acumen for which she is famous abroad. The first disturbance came when the royal visitor attended a performance given by her friend, Lole Fuller, the dancer, at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.. A.. upheaval among New York soclety patrons of the performance followed when the Queen’s f{tinerary linked up several cities where similar performances were to_be given. Miss Fuller and a ompanion, Miss May Birkhe d, accompanied the Queen on h - Westward journe but left the train at Denver, after a dis- agreement with John H. Carroll, rail- road host to the Queen. Another dis- agreement arose over the published statements of J. Ayers at Van- couver that Henry Ford was financing the trip. Ayers then left the party. Sharp Words Spoken. After Queen Marie had gone to Maryhill, Wash., to dedicate the mu- seum owned by Samuel Hill, railroad magnate, Hill and Maj. Stanley Wash- burn, the Queen's personal aide, came into a sharp disagreement in the Queen’s box at a Portland, Oreg., horse show. Hill told Washburn that his orders were to be obeyed, *“or I'll crush you.” At various times it wos apparent also that the Rumanian members of the party were at odds with Col. Carroll and Maj. Washburn in the tour's arrangements. Although the Queen participated in many colorful ceremonies in her visits to American cities, her two chil- dren probably contributed more ro- mantic and adventurous phases. The princess, while speeding in a gift au- tomobile from Chicago to Indianapolis, crashed into a truck, but escaped un- injured. Rumors of an American romance also circulated about Ileana when dur- ing a visit at West Point Willlam J. Glasgow, a cadet, escorted her to sev- eral functions. o MARINE ON RAMPAGE SHOOTS THREE PEOPLE Sentry Accused of Deserting His Post at Legation to Go on Trial. Charge d'Affaires Christian Gross at Port au Prince, Haiti, reported to the State Department last night that Marine Private J. M. Branski, while on sentry duty at the legation early today, left his post, wandered about the city and “apparently without prov- ocation” shot three working people, killing one, seriously wounding an- other and slightly wounding the third. Branski then returned to the lega- tion, the report said, and continued firing at random from a balcony, sev- eral shots coming close to a gendar- merfe officer, who approached to ar- rest him. The Marine is to go on trial within a few days, Gross said. CAVALRY MACHINE GUNS. New Formation to Be Tried at Fort Riley, Kans. Provisional reorganization of the 13th Cavalry to include a machine gun troop was announced by the War De- partment yesterday in connection with the arrival of the regiment at Fort Riley, Kans., after a 625-mile march from Cheyenne, Wyo, the longest over. land trip for any Army regiment in recent vears. It will be the only regiment of Cav- alry in the Army to include a machine gun troop and will absorb the 1st Ma- chine Gun Troop, now stationed at Fort Riley, as an experiment with this formation. Heretofore a machine gun squadron has been attached to each Cavalry brigade. BRITISH COURT MOURNS. King George and Queen Mary Send Private Message to Marie. LONDON, July 20 (#).—King George and Queen Mary sent a private mes. sage of condolence to Queen Marie of Rumania today on the death of King Ferdinand. The foreign office sent an official expression of regret to the Rumanian government. The British court mourni will go into | burgh and later Duke of Saxe-Coburg, was talked of, it was said the Ru- manian queen was much incensed and that Mile. Vacaresco felt it so keenly that she sent Ferdinand's love letters to Princess Marie. However, he mar- ried the latter January 10, 1893. The royal couple had six children, one of whom dicd in childhood. The others were Crown Prince Carol, born in 1893: Princess Elizabeth, born in 1894, and married in 1921 to King George of Greece, who afterward abdicated; Princess Marie, born in 1599 and married in 1922 to King lexander of Jugoslavia; _Prince Nicolas, born in 1903, and Princess Ileana, born in 1908, Although he took the oath as King the day after the death of his uncle, King Charles, in 1914, King Ferdi- nand and his Queen were not crowned until October, 19: The ceremonies took place at Albajulia, On that oc- casion the crown used by the late King Charles again was pressed into service.

The Commission of Fine Arts will be satisflied with any route chosen by the Virginia State Highway Commis- sion from the end of the Arlingt bridge through Arlington County, pro- vided the road makes an actual phy- sical connection with the west end of the new bridge and opens up a through route through the adjoining county so it may develop in line with plans for the metropolitan area of greater Washington. H. P. Caemmerer, secretary of the commission, said today that either the route chosen by the Straight to the Bridge Association or the Lee boulevard route, over which there has been contention, will be satisfactory to the Fine Arts body, provided it ac- complishes these two ends. The commission views Arlington County as an integral part of the de- velopment of Washington, in so far as residential considerations are con- cerned, and believes that its future is so tied up with the development of the Capital that everything should be done to improve the roads, parks and all other features that will go into the future material welfare of the county. The commission has not in any way entered into the controversy over the twin routes suggested for a main high- way through Arlington County, al- though it is very much interested in the road and the area between the Highway and Key Bridges, which the road must cross to reach the west end of the Arlington Bridge. With work on the new bridge rapid- ly going ahead, the Fine Arts body belleves the route of the road should be definitely chosen shortly, so plans for its connection with the west end of the bridge can be drawn and studied. As the plan now stands, the Lee highway approach from the west will end on Columbia Island, where it will join by a causeway with the main road across Arlington Bridge. This plan has been approved by the Sec- retary of War and the Fine Arts Com- mission, together with other plans for cleaning up the area between the two existing bridges, and extension of Ar- lington National Cemetery over the area now occupied by the Department of Agriculture experimental farm. .
