the Service.
ROYAL DECREE ISSUED

BELGRADE, Servia, March 31.-A royal
decree, issued to-day, retires twelve of the
higher army officers.
VIENNA. March 31.-The royal decree
issued at Belgrade is regarded here as the
first step in the scheme for settling the
question of the treatment of the assassins
of King Alexander and Queen Draga This
scheme is intended to pacify those powers
which practically broke off diplomatic re-
lations with Servia when the regicides
were retained in power.
A dispatch from Belgrade, received in
Vienna March 20, said that a settlement of
the difficulties between Servia and certain
of the powers. resulting from the assassi-
nation of King Alexander and Queen
Draga. would be announced this week in
volving the removal from the court of
the officers concerned in the conspiracy
which resulted in the assassination. This
dispatch said that the appointment of new
royal aids-de-camp and other court
changes would justify the powers in re-
storing diplomatic relations with Servia

impression that the said Alice was

intent of accomplishing Cindy's de-
