NOW HE is DEAD
and NOW HE ISN'T
is NEWS OF KIN C
All Manner of Reports
About Ferdinand

LONDON, Nov. 29. With Queen
Marie and her party still ON the high
heas, reports from various centers on
the continent place the condition Of
King Ferdinand as in no sense dan
gsrous, that he is ailing badly, that
he is about to die and that he is dead.
These conflicting reports make i'm
possible "a correct estimate of the
rumors, also Of conflicting nature,
that are surrounding the exiled Prince
Carol, now IN Paris.
From Paris comes the news that
Prince Carol was called upon by an
official Roumanian delegation in diplo-
matte delivery and was given an i'm.
portant message. 1t is thought that
may have something to do with hi
return to Roumania, from which he
has been barred since he was deposed
rs crown prince.
The theory is that King Ferdinand,
1n serious condition, has expressed
the desire to reconcile himself with
Carol and for his eldest son to sue
coed him to the throne. Along with
this comes the story that the power
full Bratianu brothers are opposed to
this and threaten an upheayal if it
comes to pass.
From the Berengaria, upon which
Queen Marie is homeward bound,
comes the information that she has re-
oeived assurances of her husbands
good health. Berlin advices indicate
shat the king is dead and that his
demise is being yelled for reasons of
state. Vienna writer's see Balkan
complications looming out of the con-
dition of the king and predict trouble
over the selection Of his successor.
From Bucharest itself comes cen
sored dispatches in which the official
word pronounces the king very much
improved. 1t is confidently expected
in London that within the next sew
eral years it will be definitely known
whether the king is thriving or has
been gathered in by his Hohenzollern
fathers.

Great Britain's Chinese policy will
