But here fate interviewed. Italy
and Yugoslavia of late have been
drifting still farther apart, and if
Barthou'S talks with MuSsolini were
to bear the maximum of fruit,
France, YugoslaviaS ally, should act
as peacemaker between that country
and italy.
Barthou could not very we'll re-
turn to Belgrade. That is some
thing which, automatically, could
not be done. But King Alexander
could return Barthou's visit and,
once in Paris, the problems so vital
to the peace of Europe could be
thrashed out.
Just a House of Cards
Europe is a delicately adjusted
house of cards-more so, even, than
it was twenty years ago at the time
of Sarajevo.
Had King Alexander been slain in
Italy-as he might have been but
for his decision to journey TO France
by warship instead of by train, as
did his wife, Queen Marie-war al
most certainly would have followed
within thirty days. Belgrade likely
would have blamed the plot on
Rome.
The most reassuring factor in the
bloody business is that it happened
in France, long Yugoslavia's most
loyal friend This and the fact that
Louis Bsrthou. idol of France, fell
at his side.
Even so it may be days, perhaps
weeks or months, before the effects
of Marseille's CORY Tuesday can be
gagged fully.
Civil war in Yugoslavia may grow
out of the tragedy. Should hostile
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes fly at
each others Threats in the unset
tied days to come, the first easily
might spread to other countries.
Italy long has had its eyes on the
Dalmatian coast across the Adriatic.
Years ago she set up a puppet state
in Albania as bridgehead, the
Yugoslavs charge, for use in an
armed invasion of the Balkans when
the time should be ripe.
Hungary Biding Her Time
Hungary, on the other side, has
bided her time for years, waiting for
Europe's powder magazine 10 blow
up so that her hope of regaining at
least some of her lost territory
might be realized. Austria, TO the
north, now is regarded as under the
tutelage of Rome.

Yugoslavia and with that country

indifferent to any event imperiling
their ally to the south. Nor can

member of the League Of Nations.

And across them all lies the sha-

Adolf Hitler. Even the unexcitable.
phlegmatic Britishers accuse him of
preparing for war the moment the

BOY KING is ON
WAY TO PARIS
Arrives at Calais, Accom-
panied by Grandmother,
Marie of Rumania.

By United Press
CALAIS, France, Oct. 1o.-King
Peter II of Yugoslavia and Dow
ager Queen Marie of Rumania ar
rived today from England, en- route
to Paris.
The king held tightly to his
grandmother's hand as they board
ed the Paris train.
The boy ruler learned today how
his father died. Previously he had
known only that Alexander was
dead. At luncheon today his grand
mother gave him the details. Hold
ing the child'S hand and stroking it
tenderly, the queen told him the
tragic story of the assassination at
MarSeille.
But grandmother, why did they
do it?" He asked somberly.
The queen wept.
The London Evening News said
Queen Marie told Peter:
Never forget that your father
died like a king. His duty is now
your duty and his work your work. "
Police of the English countryside
were on the alert to guard the royal
pair on the journey from London
to Dover. A United Press cor
respondent aboard the train, ap-
preaching the kings car, saw that
the door was bolted, with a squad
of detectives and railroad guards at
the entrance.
At Tonbridge, solitary plough
man dotted his cap respectfully to
the passing train.
On arrival at Dover, ordinary pas
sengers and newspaper men were
whisked from the platform and seq
regated at the farthest point from
the quaySide.
When the way was clear, Peter,
Maries hand, walked the
length of the platform and boarded
the steamer. They retired at once
to their cabin.

were alert in central and
southern Europe today as
governments awaited roper
cuSsions from the aSsassina-
tionS at Marseille.
SO serious was the situation
regarded in this nerve center
of European intrigue t h a t
many believed the peace of
Europe might depend in great
measure on whether foreign
countries encouraged t h
Croatian conspirators whose
nominee killed King Alex
ander and Louis Barthou.
Though this view seemed
exaggerated, the prospect for
Europe was for months of I'M
certainty and danger.
AS for Yogoslavia itself, diplo-
matists here saw it's relations with
Italy in the next few weeks as the
outstanding factor. The countries
are unfriendly, really enemies. Some
thought that the revolutionary
CroatS would try to stir up trouble
between Italy and Yugoslavia to
further their own aims.
War Seen as Result
In this connection there entered
the question whether YugoSlavia
would be able to maintain internal
order-and some observers saw war
as the result if it did not.
A danger was seen that Croatians
and other disaffected elements in
the Yugoslav kingdom might split
into warning factions-Croats, Slo--
venes and Macedonians against
Serbs. At best they predicted
series of terroristic incidents that
would keep Europe nervous and the
troops on the frontiers ready for
trouble.
1t was ironic that Yugoslav ex-
perts here predicted their country's
real ruler in coming months would
be General Peter Zivkovitch, whom
the Croats accuse of being the most
cruel of their Serbian-to them
oppressors.
Frontiers Are Closed
Yugoslavia's frontiers were closed
to outgoing passengers as soon as
the aSaaSsinations were known.
Telephone service to Belgrade was
severed for hours.
Dispatches from several points in

though in small numbers.
From Trieste came private reports
that the Yugoslav garrisons on the
Austrian frontier were reinforced.
Some passengers on trains along the
Yugoslavian frontier saw troops
everywhere, but a United Press
correspondent who reached Zagreb
from Vienna saw few.

the hope that the nations of
the old world would be or
ganized for peace before it
happened.
He was too old, he said, for any
one to accuse him of personal am

up a peace organization strong
enough to withstand such shocks,
he would die content.

Barth0u was convinced tnat Hitler

western frontiers already are guar

a decade ago, so what he planned
was an eastern Locarno to do the
same for her frontiers to the east.
To promote his scheme he had
journeyed to London, Warsaw,

Success had attended his footsteps

about a rapprochement between

fat accompli. Already tentative
