IS KING BUT

Prince William Borrows the
Money to Pay For His
Coronation.
FRIENDS BUY HIS
CROWN ON CREDIT

N ERLIN, Germany, March 28-Eu-
X rope has found amusement in
the financial embarrassment of
prince William of WED who was
forced TO arrange all the preliminar-
les of his ascent to the throne Of Al
bania on credit.
Not until the last moment before his
departure from Paris did the young
monarch elect succeed in getting any
OF the s1,OOO,O0O loan which had been
arranged by the powers. The result
was that he was unable to meet the
bin of $3.50 for moving his personal
effects and furniture to the palace at
DurGZzo The shipment was entrusted
to the German agent of the Austrian
State railways, who finally obtained
orders from Vienna to send the bills
for transportation to the Austrian for
eign office.
Hotel Bills Paid BY Austrian.
Austria also paid the railway fares
and hotel bills of the new monarch
on his round OF state visits to the cap
itals of Europe and furnished the
steamer to take him to DurazzO. The
gorgeous uniform which the prince de-
signed for his state entry was turned
out by the Austrian court tailor, and
the Albanian nOtables, who came to
the princes German homo at Neuwied
to offer to him the crown, borrowed
in Vienna the money for the first
payment on that necessary piece of
royal equipment.
The Crown of Gold.
The crown consists of q circlet of
gold set with turquOises, above which
are six intersecting arches of gold,
supporting at the apex the white
star of Skanderbeg.'
SkandeTbeg was the Albanian ma
tional hero and last defender of
Christian and national interests in
the Balkans against the invading
MOslems. He spent his boyhoOd as
Turkish captive and embraced Mo-
hamm edaniSm, but finally escaped to
Albania, organized an instruction,
and established an Albanian princi-
pality which he successfully defended
against both Turks and Venetians for
p years during the 18th century.

II, of Albania, should the kingdom

Good judges of Balkan conditions
here assign an existence of not more
than 10 years to the new kingdom,
and the German foreign office is con-
WINGED that William may even lose his
life within that period.a

The famous French foreign legion
is recruited largely from German sol
