THREE KINGS LOON ONEASTERN HORIZON [Wzth Heart and Voice, Americans ]om in Extendmg | Felicitations to Mrs. Galt and President Wilson on ‘Dec. 18 Ferdinand oi Bulgaria, Peier oi% Serbia and Constantine of Greece (Correspondence af the Asso, Paris, Oct. 31.—Threcc king: nand of Bulgaria, Constantine of Grecce, are large on the eastern horizon just now, # and hardly less important are three premiers, who have becn making most of the moves in the new game ol the Balkans. The three Balkan kings are almost as wcell known here as in their own capitals. They come hera for themw relaxation. They make frequent offi- cial ts at which they arc central figures at,srand levees at the Quay @’Orsay, gala performance at Grand Opera, and military reviews at Vincennes. They used to come often also, on business, chiefiy to buy the latest pattern of French artillery, famous “75.” Besides thesc kingl its, each of these monarchs, incognito, has had his da houlavar- dier, and Pete arti v and his royal brother serl e well ac- a2 quainted with the n')th of Bohemia leading through Montmarte and the Latin quarter- King Ferdinand, On one of King Ferdinand's visits there was opportunity to view him at close range, as he r(‘ccivcfl in most democratic fachion at a the foreign office. He _was in center of 3 group of ca 3 and his military retinue in their bril- lat uniforms, But the king himsell was in plain evening clo with the wide red ribbon of the Legion of Honor across his breast. He is of massive build, and quite looks the patrt of a king, or czar. His face is genial and his vellow hair and Saxon heard give him rather a German aspect. Some of Ferdinand's German char- acteristics are receiving special at- tention since Bulgaria has ranged herself with Germany. While son of a German prince of Saxe-Cobourg- Gotha, and born at Vienna, his moth- er was the French princess Clemen- tine of Orleans. This latter give the French special bitterness against Ferdinand. It is also noted that he is an officer of the 1ith Aus- trian huzzars and of the 4th Prussian Vinfantry, though this probably has no more significance than his wearing the French Legion of Honor- Praised French Troops. During Ferdinand's visit to, Paris, he was enthusiastic in praise of the French troops, drawn up 12,000 strong at Vincennes. After the review he goasted France at a select dinnor of lnommz H their | the | fact has | PHOTOS COPYRIGHT, 1915, BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION THE BRIDE AND GROOM OF THE WHITE HOUSE. distinguished officials, and in the midst of his tribute paused and said: to preserve his life and happiness. is, fals I do wear something more and inspiring than any here it is.” And throwing open his coat he dis- played the crosh of the Legion of Hon- or, around his neck and close to his broast. glorious Sympathy.

According to this, Em- As peror William, even before the Eu- | ropean war began, foresaw poss eventualities in the Balkans.a nd per- sonally addressed himself to the three kings of Bulgaria, Greece and Ruman- | ia. His overture to each was most tactful. He did not ask them to range their countries on the side of Ger- { many. All he asked was the promise i from each that in the event of a Eu- ropean conflict, they would not make war against Germany. This seemed fair to the three kings, and they are said to have given their promise to it, on the theory. that it did not com- mit them to war, but to keep out of war. But the Kaiser is said to have viewed it from another standpoint and to have felt quite serene since then at the efforts of the quadruple | allies to have quite rafohrdlu rdlu allies to have the Balkan states range | themselves solidly against Germany. However, the situation had changed | much since these alleged promises, | The king of Rumania has died and been succeeded by another. The king of Greece has found a new condition ntei not cnmempla&ad at the of the so-called promise—that Greece’s ally, Serbia, was attacked by Germany’s ally, Austria. This, accord- ling to the story of the diplomatist, | has left King Ferdinand as the only one -to carry out the promise. Interesting Family. Kipg Ferdinang has an interesting | family.
