He presides at every ministerial confer

presses his opinion without reserve, but
leaves IT entirely to the responsible min

Unlike his predecessors, he refrains

unheardof innovation in the Balkans.
All letters addressed to the king by
persons seeking employment in public
Offices are invariably handed over to the

Peter, Democrat and Socialist,
on the Royal Throne of Serbia
Transformed from Radical of the Red Type to Very
Respectable Representative of Monarchica[ Rrcipes-s
R1pate Life, Hozvever, Has Undergone No Change.

q ONE months have now elapsed since
Peter Karageorgevitch assembled
< the Servian throne as PeterI /. Only
a short time ago he was a democrat
indeed, almost a socialist-by convic-
ton. To-day the Red Peter" has been
transformed into sovereign, repre-
sentative of the monarchical princi-
pies!
But Peter Karageorgevitch is man
who knows how to occupy throne,
knows how to reign even in an exem-
plary manner, without sacrificing too
much of his former convictions and prin-
ciples. Indeed, King Peter and the Red
Peter" seem to have found happy
modus vivendi on the thrAne of Servia.
His majesty is one of those monarchs
of whom the French say: They reign,
but they do not govern" He is very
prudent man, and shows lively inter-
est in almost every branch of the adj
ministration of his little state.
He demands the minutest information
about every single action of his minis
ters, but permits them to act freely and
