today.
The news os~the death of Charles
caused widespread feelings of regret
among all classes of the people.
Even those who were opposed ito the
former king were moved to express
sions of sympathy by the tragic and
lonely end of his career.
AS precautionary move, mounted
police patrolled the streets of Buda-
pest throughout Sunday night and
today to prevent any untoward Incl
government decreed today a day of
national mourning. All theaters and
other places of amusement were or
| dered closed, flags were half masted
and music was suppressed.

Count Stefan Bethlen, the premier,
telegraphed condolences on behalf of
the nation TO former Queen Zita
THE young kings life" said the
message OF, Regent Horthy, was one
of unfathomable destiny. Hungary is
profoundly grieYed and shares his
familys sorrow.
Prince Otto is the hereditary king
OF Hungary. This is the only legal
way to view the situation declared

mier today. Count julius Andrassy
and Count Hunyady Issued state

! No Official Mourning
! VIENNA. April 2-No official rec

! Emperor Charles thus far has been
