Summer, but still strong, may take

republic. This may be possible. be-
cause Italy, watching carefully the
activities of her neXt-door neighbor.
may not be in a position to make the
same display of force as after the as
sassination of Chancellor Dollfuss.
The possibility of civil war in
Yugoslavia looms as an imminent
danger.
Alexander. faced by unrest and
trouble in the Croatian and Slovene
provinces. adopted the strong arm
policy of proclaiming himself the abSo-
lutte dictator of the kingdom. He has
been ruling the Yugoslavs with an
iron hand until his death yesterday.
New King Only IL.
He has been succeeded by his son,
Prince Peter, an 11-year-old boy, who
will rule until he becomes of age with
the aid of a regency. The principal
regent will be his uncle, Prince Paul
Karageorgevitch. a pleasant man
with no political experience whatso-
ever. The regency, it is believed here,
will be much under the influence of
the military clique in Belgrade, the
same group of generals whom even
King Alexander had difficulty in keep
ing under control.
These men have no sympathy with
the idea of the CroatianS and the Slo-
venes of a federated kingdom, each
component state being autonomous.
The fact that the assasSins Of the
! Serbian King were Croatians connect
ed with the autonomous move gives
| the Belgrade generals a good excuse
to tighten the grip on those provinces
The military forces in Croatia and
Slovenia are 80 per cent Serb.
Although a civil war in Yugoslavia
is feared, the belief of the diplomats
is that it will not cause international
i complications.
Duce Determines on Peace.
This belief is based mainly on the
fact that Mussolini Is determined to
avoid a war, and will adopt a strictly
neutral attitude in the troubles which
may take place in Yugoslavia.
Reports received last night in Wash
| ington confirm this belief. Mussolini,
it is stated, has no ambitions to con-
quer any Yugoslav territory. Yugo-
slavia's growing military power has
been worrying the Italians in the past
The fact that Alexander was an abso-
lutte monarch, faced with continual
troubles in the largest and richest
provinces of his kingdom, made the
Italians think that at certain time
he might attempt to distract the at
tentim of his restless subjects by some
warlike activities against Italy. The
| formidable military machinery OF
Yugoslavia caused concern in Rome
But now, with the likelihood of civil
war in that country, this danger seems
to be eliminated and the attitude OF
II Duce toward his neighbor will be
| that of a sympathetic neutrality.
But Italy must maintain a watchful
attitude. Because of this and the
nervous tension which exists in Eu-
rope today, there is a possibility that
l Austrian Nazis should take advantage

Confusion and horror characterized
the public's reception Of the news Of
their Kings death. 1t was withheld
by official sources and the public did
not learn of the assassination until
nearly 10 o'clock last night.
The text Of the governments proc
lamation making Peter King follows:
ITO the Yugoslavian people:
"Our great King Alexander fell
heroically on October at Marseille.
He has sealed with his blood the work
for peace which was his aim in life
and for which he went to Marseille
and met his death in an allied land.
by virtue Of paragraph 306 Of the
constitution, Peter II is now King, and
the government and the army and the
navy have taken an oath Of loyalty to
him.
by virtue of paragraph As, the cab
met is now governing the country.
The National Congress has been called
for the day after tomorrow.

trust, Guard Yugoslavia,' and the gov
ernment and the nation must bs

KALEMEN'S AIDES
OBJECTS OF HUNT
Pair Who Stayed at Hotel
Sought Slayer Drank
Heavily Before Crime.

AK EN- PROVENCE, France, Octo-
ber 1o.-Two fugitive companions of
Petrus Kalemen, assassin Of King
Alexander, were the objects Of a wide
police hunt today when it was discov-
cred they stayed at hotel here with

MARSEILLE, France, October 10
An eye witness to yesterdays double
assassination and the carnage which
followed described last night the wild
panic of the crowd assembled for the
arrival of King Alexander.
THE procession had covered only
$50 yards when l saw clearly on my
right a man emerge from the cheering
crowd on the sidewalk and leap with
a single bound on the right footboard
of the automobile" he declared.
"A series of sharp cracks followed
and IN the twinkling of an eye the
scene of vibrant enthusiasm so or
dered and beautiful had turned into
wild panic. People dashed from
the Official car or else hurled them
selves upon it. seemingly gone mad.
Police Fire Upon Man.
"I saw a colonel rain furious blows
of his saber upon a man struggling
against the side of the car. l saw
policemen rushing up with revolvers
and firing at the man who now fired
wildly into the surging crowd.
Il saw policemen showering blows
upon bleeding mass which no longer
resembled a human being, and drag
it off the square, while the crowd fell
upon it, trampling it under foot.

Dino Grandi of Italy, the German
Ambassador, Won Hoesch, and Stanley
M. Bruce, high commissioner for Aus
tralia.
Other callers included a red-bearded
priest in a flowing black coat and hat
and a number of women, three of
whom were openly wiping away tears
as they departed.
Sir Clice Wigram, King Georges
private secretary, called during the
morning. driving in the picturesque
betrapped coach-and-four from Buck
ingham Palace.
While the legation remained the
chief London center of interest in
connection with the Marseilles trag-
edy, the hotel on Piccadilly where
Queen Marie was stopping also was
the scene of considerable activity
The sidewalks outside were
thronged as a procession of motor
cars brought distinguished visitors to
the Queens temporary home.
One of the visitors was Prince
George, who paid his visit under the
title of the Duke of Kent. which he
used officially for the first time.
Last night the Sanroyd housemas-
ter was notified to arouse Peter ear
lier than his dormitory mates. With
sleep still in his eyes he was awak-
ened. message was whispered in
his ear that urgent news awaited him
in the headmaSter's Office.
Dressing hastily, Peter followed the
housemaster to the school Office,
where his tutor, C. c. Parrot, and
the headmaster were seated. Prob
ably still wondering what school
rules he had broken, the news was
impaired that changed him from
Peter Karageorge to King Peter II.
Breakfast was hastily served and,
without time even to bid his school
mates adieu, Peter was en- route to
Belgrade, regency and eventually
the throne of that troubled country
his late father had ruled with dicta-
torial power.
One Small Suit Case.
Peter took along only one small
brown suit case, regulation equipment
AOI pOyS dI preparatory SCHOOL. he
was dressed simply in a gray flannel
suit and still wore his scholars cap.
His tutor and special detective ac-
companied him.
As the automobile left the school
grounds on which Peter yesterday
played games with his mates the new
King looked straight ahead.
Peter celebrated his 11th birthday
anniversary September at Bled,
Yugoslavia.
He had looked forward to that day
as one he could spend with father,
whom he loved affectionateIy. But
Alexander was too busy with affairs
Of state and Peter, upon being in
formed he could not have an airplane
or, at least, motor cycle, for his
birthday, is reported to have said:
1T will be so much more fun when
am grown up because then I can
do just as 7 wish, like papa does
shoot and sail and fly"

meant certain death for the assassin
Kalemen's clothes were new. They
had been bought in the department
store La Belle Jardinere of Paris,
where he had spent several days pre-
ViouS to his arrival in MarSeille. This
circumstance of the new clothes was
said by the police to be an old custom
of assassin bands. After one of these
organizations members draws the ia
tai assignment, his comrades provide
him new suit in which to die.
AS another evidence, in the eyes of
the police, that Kalemen's act was
inspired by others was the fact that
he used small submachine gun of
new type. The police said it was
manufactured in Germany and it was
very expensive"
Kalemen's ability to wound four
persons mortally and shoot IL others
as well was partly explained by his
two automatic pistols, his desperate
determination and by either the inad-
equacy or the overconfldence Of the
police on duty.
Kalemen had bomb in his pocket
which he never used and carried two
pistols as well. An instant after he
jumped on the running board of the
Kings automobile, he started shoot
ing with his new type of short sub
machine gun. His reserve weapon
was a 45-caliber automatic pistol.
The submachine gun poured out a
stream of 10 bullets by steady pres
sure on the trigger. The police also
fired, but how many shots they made
and whether they added to the gen.
eral casualties was not Immediately
determined.
Today Marseille was virtually an
army camp. The policing Of the city
had been taken over by thousands Of
steel-helmeted mobile guards armed
with carbines. They poured into the
city all through the night by train
and truck.
The prefecture was surrounded like
fortress by these guards, who held
back the great crowds in the vicinity.
Every person entering the line Of
guards was closely examined. Even
such an inocuous article as a rolled
newspaper was unrolled to- guard
against the possibility of concealed
weapon before the person carrying 1t
was permitted through the lines.

Doumergue Cabinet Shaky.

The shots of the two assassins have
cut short all these plans and nobody
in Paris knows now what is going to
happen next. The Doumergue cabinet
is Shaky. Doumergue intended to ask
the Chamber for a revision of the
constitution, and it appeared that be-
cause of the prestige of the two vet
eran statesmen, Barthou and Dou-
mergue, he would have obtained it
even if he had to dissolve the Assem-
bly, and go to the country for new
elections.
The assassination Of Alexander and
of his chief counselor is likely to
weaken the prestige of the cabinet
and shake the confidence of the peo-
pie in the premier's ability to main
tain order in the country. A ministerial
crisis is possible now, and in view Of
the nervousness which the Marse1lle
murder has created in the country,
nobody can foresee the consequences
of such a crisis The united Socialists
and Communists may give the govern
ment a good deal OF trouble.
Germany is also watching the sit
uation carefully. She had been pre-
vented last Summer by the Italians
and the French from effecting the
anschluSs with Austria by the eStab-
lishment of a Nazi government in
that country.
Nazis May Be Spurred.
With France in trouble and Italy
having to watch YugoSlavian develop
ments and protect Austria, it is pos
sible Berlin should encourage the
Austrian Nazis to revive their activi-
ties and establish themselves in Vi
emma. Italy is no longer in a posi-
ton to make the same effective dis
play of force as last Summer and
what was not accomplished by the
assassination of Dollfuss may now be
fulfilled.
Great Britain, while not directly
affected by the situation, is using all
its prestige in Europe to prevent the
fire which the Marseille tragedy has
started from spreading.
The British representatives in the
European capitals have been ordered
by London to advise the various gov
ernments to keep cool and not allow
themselves to be swept intA some rash
action by popular sentiment.
