The Rt Hon. James Bryce, when he

true, but like many another retired

KING FERDINAND AS SUPPLIANT

King Ferdinand spent the month OF
November in Vienna, a humble sup
plant for his own throne. 1t is said.
Because OF this visit. the report went
forth from Sofia that this talented scion
OF the house of Coburg, who but a
short time ago was to revive in all Of
its ancient glories and breadth and
width the old Bulgarian empire, is to
be forced to abdicate in favor OF his
lown son, Crown Prince Boris.
The role of suppliant sits so Ill on
NO one as 1t does on this proud, ambi.
tious man. He has all the pride OF rank
and family and the yearning for sue
cess where others have rallied and
where he came SO near achieving. He
comes Of two great families, a son of
Prince Auguste of Saxe-Coburg and
Princess Clementine, daughter of
Louis Philippe, king of France, and is
thus cousin to most of the crowned
heads OF Europe.
1t was but FIVE years ago that he
paid another visit to Vienna and so
