choose between sacrificing his rank of
Crown Prince as well as his success
sion to the Crown, on the one hand,
and the parting from his wife, on the
other, has decided in favor of his con-
sort. He has thereby endeared him
self to the bourgeoisie, to the masses
of the Rumanian people and to the
army, who remember his gallantry in
the great war and his stubborn re-
fusal to hold any intercourse whatso-
ever with the German invaders of his
native land.
Those who objected to his wife have
been the members Of the old Ruma-
MAN artistocracy, deprived by law of
the use of their former nobiliary
titles. who have opposed the union in
consequence of the alleged inferiority
Of the lady's birth. The leading states
men and the Government have been
hostile to the marriage because they
considered it as calculated to weaken
that prestige of the dynasty which Is
the principal foundation of all thrones
in these modern days; while the men,
bers OF the reigning house did not
relish the intrusion into their family
circle of any one not to the manner
born.
King Ferdinand of Rumania has
shown himself particularly unbending
in the matter and has inflicted all sorts
OF humiliation and even punishments
upon his first born, even to the length
of confinement under close arrest for
months in his endeavors to induce
Prince Charles to give up his wife. Yet
he should have remembered his own
experiences, just twenty-seven years
ago, when in a somewhat similar in
stance he gave evidence OF less
strength and decision of character
than that displayed by his eldest son.
The Kings Romance.
In the early '90s King Ferdinand,
who had then recently arrived at
Bucharest and had been proclaimed
Crown Prince in the place of his elder
brother William, fell head over ears in
love with Mile. Helene Vacarescu, the
favorite maid Of honor of his aunt the
late Queen Elizabeth, known in liter
allure under her pen name of Carmen
Sylvia"

blazing Moldavian eyes and to the then
voluptuous but now very portly fig
ure OF the maid of honor.
They poetized together. Queen
Elizabeth, blind to political and dynas-
tic considerations, favored their init
macy to the extent of actually promot-
ing an engagement of marriage be-
tween them as a union of two kindred
spirits-of her favorite nephew and
adopted son and of her favorite maid
of honor; that is to say, between the
two persons dearest to her heart
AS soon as Queen Elizabeth an
nounced the engagement at a state
dinner at the palace the storm broke.
King Charles was indignont. But his
anger was mild compared to that of
his Government, of his court, of the
national Legislature, of the statesmen
Of the various political parties and
above all of the aristocracy of Ru-
mania

amuse the English youngster of the
day. One idea merchant purchased
more than 100000 of these wooden
cubes, and expects that when the
Christmas shopping has been finished
he will have a comfortable profit to
his account
With these examples Of what can be
done the Government Surplus Board
says step forward and share with the
Government in getting rid of these
large stocks. AS one commercial man
described the scheme, "Hatsful Of
money await the ingenious" The
Government Surplus Board has opened
an exhibition in London to show sam
pies of the overplentiful war leftovers.
Clutch, n Borneo gum, of which the
Government has tons and tons, is
shown, and the Government suggests
that the idea merchant try and find
use for the gum in leather tanning,
II the idea man turns this to profitable
account the Government will sell the
supply of the gum to him or share the
profits with him If some big leather
tanning company decides on the pur-
chase.
Apgum moss, which was collected
by the Government in large quantities
and was used in the treatment Of
wounds also is on display. The war
ended suddenly and found the Govern
ment with an enormous supply for the
following spring, when 1t was expected
that the resumption of fighting would

of assigning this ex-Crown Prince of
Rumania to command one of the arm
les assigned to the task-an army
which distinguished itself above all
the other forces of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen by the ruthless cruelty and
by the well nigh incredible barbarity
to which It subjected the unfortunate
civilian population Of the kingdom.
Prince Charles's remuneration of the
dignity of Crown Prince to his
younger brother, the Elton schoolboy
Prince Nicholas, has been due to an
entirely different reason-a~ reason
which cannot fail to have awakened
long dormant memories in the breast
of his father, King Ferdinand.
Charles, who is 26 years of age and
who fought with the utmost bravery
and distinction in the war, has chosen
to descend from the steps of the
throne rather than to desert the bour-
geois born wife whom he married
without the authorization of the Ru-
manian Crown and Government just
a year ago at Odessa.
Professors Daughter.
The lady in the case is of the most
unimpeachable antecedents and repu-
tation, the daughter OF a Major Lam
brine of the Rumanian army, who is
likewise a universally respected pro-
fessor of the University of Jassy. Her
Christian name is Cicely-in Ruma-

tionai charm anu beauty ami mas
spurned the most generous pecuniary
offers rather than consent to an an
nulment of her marriage and to the
desertion of her royal husband, to
whom she is devoted. Prince Charles
is even still more averse to any disso-
luton Of their union, contracted ac-
cording to the rites of the Greek Or
thodox Church. For whereas his
father, the King, is a Roman Catholic
and his English born mother has re-
tained her membership of the Angli-
can Church, he, as we'll as his brother
and sisters, have in accordance with
the requirements of the Rumanian
Constitution, been brought up as ad-
heEents Of the national faith, that is
to say, the Greek Orthodox rite
Prince Charles, when called upon to
