PEACE OR WAR In BALKANS
IS UP TO CAR FERDINAND

Car Ferdinand has never made any
secret Of his ambition to be the dicta.
tor Of the Balkans. During the first
Balkan war he saw his star all but
reach the zenith Of its ascendacy. The
Bulgarian papers even described the
wonderful white horse and the price,
less saddle on which he was to ride
at the head of his armies into Com
Htantinople. But the second Balkan
war stripped him of his glory and he
returned 10 his capital a disappointed
ruler.
In the present European war Gar
Ferdinand saw a chance to retrieve
his fortunes and those OF his nation,
by bartering first with the Kaiser and
then With the Allies But he realized
that he must make no mistake. and Il
was for this reason ! was told in
Sofia. that he retired from COM
munication with his fellow men to
ponder the problem himself. A whole
organization OF secret agents and
couriers forwarded him. through ths
prime minister. the reports on which
he framed his decision.
The Czar has both German and
French blood In his veins. He is Of
the e-Coburg-Gotha line; he Is an
Austrian nobleman. and he has vast
Hungarian estates His Queen Is a
German princess But on the other
nand ne Is a descendant of the French
House Of Orleans His grandfather
was Louis Philippe Of France. His
first wife was a Bourbon OF the Ital-
ian line. but Of the old French Bour-
bon stock. and aH his children were
born of this first marriage The
family puzzle only increases the diff
Guilty OF guessing what Is going on
in the mind Of the Bulgarian sphinx.
