RUMANIAN PRINCE
CLINGS TO BRIDE
Charles Prefers Her to Chance
Of Losing Succession to
Unstable Throne.

AMSTERDAM, Sept 26-In answer to
pleas that he desert his bride OF humble
birth. Crown Prince Charles OF Rumania
has replied that thrones are so unstable
nowadays that he prefers the certainty
OF having the wife he wanted to the
chance of losing the succession.
The escapade OF the Crown Prince IN
going to Odessa and marrying Cecilie
Lambrng, the daughter OF a Major in
the Rumanian army. reopens the ques-
ton OF the Rumanian dynastic success
sion.
King Ferdinand also sent an emissary
to Bender. Bessarabia, where the young
couple are passing their honeymoon. with
instruction to try to undo the nuptial
knot, but to no avail. The bride refused
Crown Prince declined to leave her.
Crown Prince Charles has not yet re-
nounced his rights Of succession. The
Rumanian constitution does not contain
clause barring a morganarlcally mar
ried Crown Prince from succession 10
the throne.
Should Crown Prince Charles re-
nounce his rights OF succession his
brother Nicholas would become the heir
apparent. Nicholas is 10 years old and
physically weak.

love AFFAIR with Helene NaCaresco. his
mothers lady OF honor Premier Catargi,

Thirty villages in Flames.
They are leaving behind them scores
OF burning villages. Thirty had been
observed in flames up to noon to-day.
Even this additional and unjustifiable
devastation can scarcely add to the
desolation that has been spread all over
this sharply disputed ground.
The ridges are covered thickly with
she'll holes that touch each other every
where. All vestiges of vegetation long
ago disappeared. the surface Of the
ground giving the impression that it
must have been reduced to n state OF
mud violently churned and then left to
dry. The ground Is crossed and crisis
crossed in every direction by trenches
that have been blown out OF shape.
A feature OF to-day's operations was
the activity OF the enemy airmen, which
furnished spectacular encounters with
French observation balloons and anti
aircraft artillery. White puffs from
the French shrapnel were seen every
where over the field.
