Rumanian oficer, Col. Skeletti, were
published here yesterday.
Helen Is said to have written Carol,
whose friend in Paris, the red-headed
Magda Lepuscu, Is understood to be
lodged now near the royal quarters,
that she will resist all his efforts to
nullify the divorce she obtained from
him in absentia in 1928.
While the Holy Synod Of the Ru-

divorce null and void shortly after
Carol became King last June, 1t has
been explained that this made it only

ment would have to come through the

Such a marriage as is reported to be

unheard of in European royal circles.
