INTO room, where a hundred striped

There he was turned over 20 the fore

Prince Ferdinand wishes to keep the

he could not pay for the outfit, and the

an action against him. He even went

and all the fountains in Sofia will run

such garments can be made. Whether
this display will please the economical
Bulgars is another matter.
Usually the king lives very simply. His
palace at Sofia is far smaller than most
English country houses. the rooms are
plainly furnished with chintz-covered
chairs and the simple midday dinners are
prepared by one cook There Is no hurry
whatever and everybody. but the king and
his secretaries. is in bed at half-past 10:
throughout the kingdom. There are no
grand balls or dinners and the staid Bull
CARS live so well within their modest
means that foreign ministers always look
upon Sofia as place to save, rather than
sp6 no, money in.
The king is not liked by his subjects.
but he is respected. his unpopularity be-
ing due probably to his German birth.
tuality, economy and discipline. Sofia.
though only twenty years old, is the best
built and best kept city in eastern Eu-
rope. The streets are well paved and the
the soldiers are drilled to be as much like
their Prussian prototypes as possible.
One day. the Bulgars say we shall
be the first nation in the Balkans. Our
ambitions are the same. That is why we
work so well together
OF course the coronation is part of their
joint program. Ferdinand's new title
even has caused a good deal Of displeas-
ure in Turkey. When he called himself
King Of Bulgaria" Turkey was very
dissatisfied: but, as all the world knows,
the matter was settled Then it tran
spired that the new king was going to
call himself king of the Bulgars' and
Turkey objected again because there are
several millions of Bulgars under Turk
ish rule.
''If he calls himself King of the Bull
ears,' says the Turks, The will soon be
interfering with those Bulgars who are
Turkish subjects"
The worst of it is that this is just what
Bulgaria does. At any rate. the king
seems to be determined TO stick to the
second title. 1t is open secret that
he wants to annex Rumelia and that
part of Turkish territory of which Sa-
lonica is the capital. When this is done
the title king of the Bulgars'' will still
hold good
A good many stories are told OF this
newly titled king. He is very kind and
hospitable to foreigners and likes seeing
and talking to journalists. One day
French journalist was at the palace and
the prince as he was then. talked quite
long while, telling stories Of different
people who had been to see him.
