King Peter has an empty treasury a
mutinous army and a discontinued po-
pulation. Ascension to a throne by
means of assassination is not very
satisfactory. Peter is beginning to rea-
lie that uneasy lies the head that

the stealthy footsteps of an assassin,

Where does the rubbish which comes

Where does the rubbish which comes
over the wires emanate from? The false
report of the murder of our consul at
Beirut was put down to the misleading
of a cipher telegram. Now we have the
denial of the sinking of the Austrian
gunboat Siberia. This certainly was not
caused by the misleading of a cipher.
There is a recklessness in sending IN
formation over the wires which is very
reprehensible. In some cases deliberate
falsehoods are sent with a political or
a financial aim, which cause serious re-
suits.
