THE OM fAHA SUNDAY BEE SERVIA'STWOCROWN PRINCES Studious Alexander Put in Wicked """ George's Flace. MEETING WITH DEPOSED HEIR Double Crisis Passed in Outward ¢ Servians rvin with meThe Temperiess Thelr Arti- ficial Demonstrations, BELGRADE, Ap#l 17.—One would hardly surmise from the undisturbed quiet which pervades, the streets of Belgrade that an- other dynastic crisis fs upon the country and that at the same time the future meas- ure of Bervia's Independence Is being d cided In the Austrian capital It Is almost a blessing that the streets here are paved with cobblestones, over which the peasants' ox carts and the mill- tary four-horse wagons camnot fall to rumble, The Servians complain of nolse of traffic and promise the stranger that the city shall be paved with asphalt before many years, but the stillness which will follow such an improvement is almost to be dreaded. Would 1t be possible to find another clvil- ized city of 100,000 Inhabitants where the newsboys at the moment of a double men- ace to the country dld not make the names of thelr papers ring through the streets? A slow, drawling cry which would never induce one to belleve that there is news eminates at noon from straggling urchins and bearded oM men who carry undor | thelr arms the first and only edition of the Politika, the most sensational Belgrade dailly, with dispatches from the capitals of the threatening dual nelghbor and an oditorlal calling upon the government to mobilize the army immediately. Only Foreigners Impatient. Forelgn correspondents, of whom there are numbers here, men from every Euro- pean country and from America, buy the paper rapidly and generally open it at onfe upon the streets, but none of the peasants does likewlse, and the long cloaked army officers, government officials and shopkeepers who have just closed their stores for the noon hour generally walt to read the news till they get home for thelr midday dinner or till they may sit for an hour at thelr favorite cafe. Bulletin boards are unknown, and extra editions even in theso stirring times are of no more than monthly occurrence, I have heard the Bervians called phleg- matic, but this word seems to me to apply to stout, beer drinking peoples, while the Servians are tall and lean. They may be defcribed, 1 think, as temperless people. They are not indifferent to the turn of ovents, nor ate they slow to realize significance of happenings that them. Yet it 1s seldom than anything can make 086 of them lose control of himself. When hé commits an act of violence it seems to b only after forethought and with full in- tent, and often much drink is necessary to fire his determination, of course, a striking exception to this rule In the person of “Mr. Gearge Karageorgevitch,” as one paper describe: the ex-crown prince. But Prince George was raised in western Europe, which may have had some Influence upon his char- scter; and his mother was a Montenegrin. Pecullar Way of Thinking. Today the resignation of Prince George because the papers demanded an examina- tion Into the death of his vafbt is attract- ing more attention than the attitude of Austria-Hungary. And this Is in keeping with the Bervian, If not the Slav, character geverally. To the Servian internal affairs bave always been of more interest than in-\ cernational matters, because to them a po- litleal rival has always been a greater en emy than a foreign one. The Serbs do no seem to be able to seo broadly or far Things nearest to them aré always of mos importance. The bad name which Servia has for king Klliing and the sight of soldiers with rifle: slung across their backs dolng police duty on the best lighted strects after sundown might lead the newcomer to suppose that lifo, was not always safe in the Servian capital. But the place s, on the contrary, most peaceful. Among the Servians there hardly exists a tout or a sharper, while criminals from nelghboring countrles find the place too poor to ply thelr trade Id. A stranger could visit any part of the country in safety even at this moment when the peasant soldiers (hink that it is thelr duty to arrest cvery forelgner on the chance that he may be an Austrian spy. Here house breaking and murder are very little_known. An Intoxicated man Is rarely seen upon the streets, and when at #lavas or native festivals men drink too much of thelr home-made slivavitaa It makes them only stupld or gay and less than ever inclined to be pugnactous. Serba of Imitative Bent. The Serbs are an Imitative race and fol- low the example of others or obey orders and the Servian government has shown recently that it has much of the character of the people. In employing the armed men at night—an unnecessary measure—it Is imitating the countries round about. Tur- key to the south Is, of course, very lawless Bulgaria and Rumania the east_ and Hupgary to the north across the Danube and the.Save are states in which the peas- ants might not recognize the authority of tha low unless the Officer of it carried some insplring weapon. and west across the Drina river there ls troubled Bosnia.

When and Rumania, there would be considerable emugglng but for the watch which Is kept up on both sides of the river, for the im- port of Bervia are very high in ccrsequence of the little country's heavy thiftary and goveriment expefses. Along the Drina a week seldom passss now with-| out a “fromtier incident’ with the trocps| of the hostile empire, and the Turkish border must be watched continually to pre- vent incursions on the part of the Alban- 1ans, those lawless mountain men whom the | Turkish government has kept in arms for centuries for the of offering a check to the advance of western civiliza- tion. luties purpose Passion 1y, the Servians do seem » passions Into which they somutimes work themselves seldom steikes one as very real, and If they may be judged by the way they are able to shift affections their loves are not deep rooted. They are talking now, for instance, of throwing over Russla, who has played them false—I use thelr own expression and entering the protecting fold of Austria- Hungary, this thovgh their army ls still mobilized as much as it ever was against the neighbor across the river. In their political demonstrations one man will throw a stone, not impulsively becauss himself, but be- cause It Is the thing to do at public meet- ings of protest. The government controls the press and encourdges or says nothing about public gatherings, and it the press or some one through it does not put for- ward such @ suggestion the ldea never Simulate Many things that most artificlal. T crowds are gathered for this purpose the schoolboys take the lead, while grown men stand atout the edges of the meeting; and a leader gives the word or signal when it 1s time to shout. It was sald yesterday by the man in the street that unless there was war with Aus- tria-Hungary there would be revolution here. But the government had no fear of this. Having put itself “in the hands of Burope” it declared that Europe's dictates would be obeyed, be they for war or peace, and the government knew that the Servian people as & whole would obey orders. Disappointed Editor Weep It is interesting to notice the effect which the government's withdrawal of the de- mands on Austria has had upon the people. The average man is like the walter of my hotel, who, having been a most ardent advocate of war, now disposes of the mat- ter with the general declaration “it is the politics of Europe” that keeps Servia from plunging Into the conflict. The editor of the Politika, author of the flery editorials, now sits silent in the Cafe Moscow and has been seen to weep. And it is said that several college students, too young to be called to the colors and therefore only volunteers, have committed sulcide. From no one is there shouting and nolsy protest, The “Legion of Death” still parades through the streets because the government's order to make the daily show | has not yet been countermanded. Small boys, college students and men golng in the same diregtion accomrpany the legion pledged to the use of dynamite in the form of bombs and atherwise. The employment | of dynamite is copled from the Bulgarian insurgents of Macedonia. " Yesterday morning ‘the last troop of cav- alry left Belgrade going in the direction of the Drina, where It is supposed the Aus- trains will cross if they mean to have war in spite of Servia’s withdrawal of its de- mands, and In the afternoon the last bat- tery of artiliery left the old Turkish fort ibove the Dantbe -and-the Hava at thelr junetion. The artillery was loaded on rail- way trucks to be taken In the direction of Semendria, a llkely crossing place on the Danube. Yet there was no outward show of enthusiasm, spontancous or by govern- ment order. Where were the youths of the iniversity? King Peter is Ignored.

The two were in cavalry uniform, with long blue military great coats open and flylng in breeze created by their quick steps. Close to me he crossed the streot to speak to a ruffianly looking fellow who might have been his servant, and forthwith | I, not intending to lose this chance, opened my kodak and prepared to take a snapshot of him. But he spled me and was at me in three long jumps. The scntry at the| palace saw the pessibility of an encounter and called out his companions. It would have been interestir to have! a bout with this 11l tempered, active young man, who is sald to be very strong, but the soldiers might have used their bayonets, not understanding that a mere foreign newspaper correspondent would have no in- tention to injure the helr to the throme. The prince, however, gave me a graceful way out of the difficulty. Restraining his temper when near me, he said in French: “To do that one must ask permission.” I was 8o much surprised by his dash that my French was not equal to the proper | rejcinder: “Your highness is a public character and s out afoot upon the open | street.” But Instead of this I saluted and | asked permission, which was curtly re- fused, the young man then turning upon | his heel and making off rapidly toward the palece of the king.
