Charles is still deeply attached to his
former wife and has frequently been
seen in her company. She lives in
Bucharest and recently gave birth to
a child, which started gossip about
the succession to the throne, the heir

SHOULD SIGN, HE SAYS
German Colonial Official Secs Allies
Marching Into Country.

Berlin. June 11.-Governor Haber,
of the German colonial office, just
back from assisting the peace delega-

personal view is that the treaty should
be signed. regardless of the allies re-
ply to the counter proposals.
L believe it is doubtful IL the pres
ent government could sign the treaty
without fairly strong notifications, If
it wants to remain in office Haber
added. But it ought to sign any
way, as the entente is ready to send its
forces into Germany.
''Of course. the question of signing
or not signing is up to the government.
but the Versailles group has made no
recommendation one way or the other.
Personally, / believe the cabinet should
take the responsibility instead of pass
ing it on to the national assembly"
