'Oh, no! Nothing like that" an

two million mice running along the

Throneless Greek Prince Wins
Con1ely Elizabeth Of Rumania
Who Had Choice of 3 Men

Queen Marie that the chances were
excellent that he would one day be
recalled to the throne OF Greece, in
which case he would gracefully re-
sign in favor of his eldest son,
George.
The King of Rumania, however,
shared his peoples hearty detesta-
ton of King Constantine and his
son George and adamantly declined
to even consider him as a future
son-in-law. -T'would rather marry
my daughter to- commoner than
to a Greek prince" he is reported to
have asserted.
How he was won over Is not
known, but 1t Is commonly asserted
in Europe that the real ruler of
Rumania is the Queen Marie, and
this may have something to do with
IL.
Only one obstacle-the biggest of
all reasons, however-remains to be
surmounted now in order that the
love match may take place. This
is the opposition of Take Jonesco,
the Rumanian minister of foreign
affairs, who fears to offend France
and Venizelos, the Greek Premier
Both France and Venizelos op-
pose the marriage for the best of
reasons-they see in 1t a conspira-
cy on the part of Ramania to put
Constantine back on his throne.
And that would never, never do.
Jonesco's approaching voyage to
Athens, when he will sound out
Greek sentiment, will probably clar-
ify matters. At any rate II Is he
