KING PETER
Makes His TriumphaI Entry
Into Servia's Capital.
His Reception Was Marked by the
Expected Great Enthusiasm.
Should Now Watch Out, in Order to
Save His Throne.

Belgrade, June 24.-King Peter ar
rived here, at 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning. He was received with great
enthusiasm.
The ministers, government officials,
municipal and military guards, authori-
ties and leading citizens were assem-
bled on the platform of the railroad
station which was profusely decorated.
The only foreign representatives who
participated in the reception of the
King We're the Russian minister, NJ.
Tcharyloff, and the Austrian minister,
Herr Dumba.
A guard of honor with a band saluted
as King Peter descended from his car
and greeted the cabinet minister. The
premier M. Avakumovics, introduced
M. Tcharykoff to the King and the Rus
sian minister presented the Austrian
minister, thus the Austrian minister had
no intercourse with the provisional gov
eminent with which thus far he has
had no relations.
The procession was then formed and
the King proceeded to the cathedral
The streets were lined with troops and
crowded with people who had been
pouring into Belgrade from the prov
inceeS during the last day or two.
After the celebration of mass which
was attended with all the splendor of
the eastern church, King Peter drove
in state to the new palace.
Although the Kings entry into Bel
grade was distinguished by a diplo-
matte boycott, his reception by the peo-
pie was everywhere marked by hearth
ness which approached genuine en-
thusiasm with all classes participating.
The officials were in uniform and wore
all their decorations.
Workmen were engaged all night
long in finishing the erection of Vene-
tian masts and triumphal arches and
some of the latter were only completed
as the firing of guns announced King
Peters entry into his kingdom where
the train traversed the bridge connect
ing Servia with Austria.
