OF the few royal personages who find II
difficult TO define their nationality. He
was born at vevey. but he Is not Swiss.
He passed his youth in France, where his
ancestors had reigned. and he is not
French. He received his military educa-

mission IN the Austrian army, but he is
rot Austrian, and he is an officer Of the

The great difference Is price OF various
