LONDON. oct. p.

LONDON, oct. 12.
The fall Of Antwerp places Holland
squarely between the mllstones of British
and German interests. For Antwerp to
be of any use to Germany as a base for
naval or aerial operations against Eng
land the Kaiser must control the mouth
Of the scheldt, which is altogether in
Dutch hands.
Reliable Information has been received
here that Germany is urging the Dutch
Government to relinquish that control
Such diplomatic success by Germany
would be direct violation of the neutral
lty of Holland, as provocative to England
as the military seizure of Belgium and as
certain to be fraught with tremendous
consequences.
The attitude of the Dutch Government
becomes therefore Of intense interest De-
spite assertions by Dutch politicians that
the majority of the people of Holland
favor the cause of the Allies and are de
termined to hold their Government to
strict neutrality, there have been ominous
signs that the sympathies Of Holland are
actually with Germany. and that Ger

RUMANTA'S NEW
MONARCH TO TAKE
KINGS OATH TODAY
Ministers Summon Parlia-
ment in Special Session to
Proclaim Ferdinand Ruler.
Consort Is Anti-German.

LONDON Oct. t2.
A dispatch from Bucharest, Rumana,
says:-
"The Council of Ministers met In ex-
tracrdinary session last night, the lead
ers of all parties being presents IT was
decided to convoke Parliament today to
proclaim Crown Prince Ferdinand King
and to administer the statutory oath to
the new monarch"
The message adds the following con
corning the events Immediately preced-
Ing the death of the King:
King Charles was seized with sud-
den ILLNESS. His physician was sum-
moned and pronounced his condition
grave. The Queen watched all night
by His Majesty's bedside.
Crown Prince Ferdinand will come to
the throne prepared by years of train
ing for his new responsibilities. on more
than one occasion 1t has appeared almost
certain that he would ascend tic throne
before the death of his uncle, King
Charles. AS recently as August itNwas
reported that King Charles was anxious
TO abdicate.
Ferdinand was created Prince of Ru-
mania by royal decree In March. 1889.
TIE succession to the throne had been
settled by the constitution of 1886.
Born in 1865, Prince Ferdinand was edu-
Gated In Germany. He studied in Pots
dam, and was an officer in the German
army. He achieved considerable notoriety
before his marriage through love affair
with Mile. Helene Vacaresoo a favorite
of the Queen of Rumana.
When n marriage with Princess Marie
daughter of Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh
and later Duke of Saxe-Coburg, was
talked Of, it was said that the Queen of
Rumana was much incensed. Mile.
NaVaresco felt the matter so keenly that
she sent Prince Ferdnands love letter
to the Princess Marie. it was said. Never
theless the marriage between Prince Fer
dnand and Princess Marie took place in
January, 1892. At the time Prince Fer
dnand was 26 years old and his bride only
II. There are five children.
Ferdinand, 1t is said has never attained
any great degree OF popularity in Ru-
mania, although his Pan-Siavic attitude
during the Balkan wars began to bring
him into favor. 1t will be recalled that
the late King maintained a decidedly un-
welcomed neutrality in that struggle, and
the stand In opposition taken by the heir
appealed to the growing nationalism OF
the Rumanian people. Since the begin
ming of the present troubles Ferdinand
has placed himself in direct and out
spoken opposition to the King an act
which has made the Rumanian people
look upon him with more kndliness than
before.
Those who are familiar with conditions
and personalities declare that the ruling
power in Rumana will reside not In
Ferdinand, but in his able, ambitious and
energetic consort, A granddaughter of
Queen Victoria and daughter of Grand
Duchess Marie of Russia, aunt of the

M0NTENEGRIN.S SURPRISE
AUSTRIANS AND SLAY 1900
Column Advancing to Relief of
Sarajevo Cut to Pieces.
LONDON, Oct. 10.


dispatch to the Reuter- Telegram
Company from Cettinje says that on
October the Montenegrns engaged in
the greatest battle with the Austrians
since the beginning of the war near
Kalenovitch, in Bosnia The Austrians,
10000 strong, tried to cut off the Monte
negrin army operating toward Sarajevo.
The Mcntenegrins succeeded In surpris-
ing their foe as they were marching in
column formation and in the first day
of fighting inflicted loss of 1900 men
The Austrians, says the correspondent,
seeing the impossibility of advancing in
the direction of Sarajevo, fell back on
Kalenovitch, leaving behind 800 more men
killed and wounded. The MontenegIns
made large number of prisoners and
captured a large quantity of stores.
dispatch to the Havas Agency from
Cettinje, concerning what is evidently the
same engagement, says:
An Austrian detachment of 10000 SOL
diers. marching toward Kalenovitch In
an effort to reach SaraJevo, attacked
Montenesrin column. After two days
battle the Austrians were defeated near
Monkinif and abandoned a large number
of dead and wounded"
