Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
| LONDON. May 31.-A private and
! secret letter written to King Ferdinand
of Rumania by Emperor Charles of Aus
tria- Hungary in the latter part OF Feb
ruary marked the turning point in Ru-
mania's participation in the world war
and. was one of the deciding factors
in the long series of intrigues which
eventually broke the spirit of the Ru-
| manian king.
! Under this outside pressure King Fer
/ dinand changed from an ardent support
er Of the war against Germany into a
: lukewarm and vacillating opportunist
and finally into a distinct peace advo-
/ cate.
This is time when kings must stick
together"
This is the most striking sentence Of
the letter of Emperor Charles. The let
ter has never been published. Its ex-
| istence up to this time has been known
to only few persons outside the high
est court circles in Rumania.
Charles Saw Thrones in Peril.
, A summary of it's contents was COM
municated to the American minister and
to the Associated Press correspondent
in Jassy by a high official. He is one
of the most steadfast friends of the
allies at the Rumanian court.
In intimate tones the Austrian en-
peror directed the attention of King
Ferdinand to the great danger for all
: monarchical institutions from the wave
Of socialism which was sweeping east
ern Europe. He drew heartfelt pic
ture of the danger to Austria from the
spread of bolshevism across the Russian
border and declared the Rumanian dy-
nasty was in equal danger from the
same source.
Emperor Charles pleaded with the
| Rumanian king to join with other
,, monarchies in Europe in the death
grapple with democracy and promised
that If Ferdinand would abandon the
allies Germany and Austria would
support him in retaining his throne.
After portraying Rumania as aban-
! doned by the allies and helpless before
the powerful central powers Emperor
| Charles closed his letter with the sem
tence quoted above.
| King Ferdinand's letter to Alexan-
| der Marghiloman, the Rumanian
| premier, thanking him for the conclu-
sion of peace. marked the final step
| in the kings surrender to the dogma
of Emperor Charles that kings must
stick together.
