Assassination Of YugoSIav
King Laid to Internal
Unrest.

Early fears that the assassination
yesterday OF King Alexander I Of
Yugoslavia as he stepped ashore at
Marseille might cause another Euro
peon war had died today as persons
here familiar with the European
scene commented on the Staying and
its possible results.
Experts on European affairs at
Purdue and Indiana universities
Joined in the view that the assassi-
nation probably could be laid entire
y TO political unrest within the Dor
ders OF Yugoslavia.
At the same time, they pointed
out that the murdered kings family
had come to the throne through the
assassination of representatives of
the dynasty which preceded him.
Among those who scOfed at the
thought OF war was DR.. Vincent A.
La Penta. consul here for Italy.
Which has had strained relations
with Yugoslavia almost continuous
~ since the war Dr. LaPenta said:
There is nothing at all to be
feared as far as Mussolini is con-
cerned. The three great European
pOwers-France, England and Italy
are absolutely agreed that the
status quo must not be disturbed
and that peace must be preserved"
Miss Cynthia Pearl Mauss, 5451
University avenue, World Travel
Study Clubs Inc. secretary. leaned
more 10 theory Of war because, she
said, she had seen much war spirit
in travelling through Europe in re-
cent months She said. however,
that the assassination might we'll
have been the work of a Yugo-
slavian faction opposed to King
Alexander's foreign policies.

Perennial Explosion


LAFAYETTE. Ind, Oct. 10.-The
assassination of King Alexander
Of Yugoslavia was described as one
Of the perennial explosions" of
Serbian history and as an event
which may place a strain on the
friendship between France and
YugOslavia by Professor V. L. Alb
1erg Of the Purdue university his
tory department
Professor Albierg made the fol-
lowing statement regarding the as
saSsinatiOn:
The assassination of King Alex
ander Is, perhaps. only one of the
perennial explosions in the dynastic
feud which has furnished the main
theme of Serbian history since 1917
In that year, MilOSch Obrenovich
aSSaSsinated KarageOrgevich. occu-
pant Of the Serbian throne, and at
intervals the two royal families
have exchanged compliments in
blood. If the present assassination
is merely a projection OF that venge-
full struggle, civil war may break
out between the followers of the two
families, or the authorities may be
able to maintain order.
If the assassination is not a
phase of the dynastic feud, it may
be an endeavor on the part of a
Yugoslav party to change its coun-
try's foreign policy. Under the di-
rections of French blessings and
munitions, the Little Entente" of
which Yugoslavia is a member, was
formed in 1920-21. BY its forma-
ton, France erected a ring of coun-
tries around Germany hostile to
Berlin.
Since that time France, with few
exceptions, has dominated Balkan
foreign policy. Some of the Yugo-
Slav citizens may be wearying Of the
French influence. The aSSaSSina-
ton of the YugoSlav king and the
French Foreign Minister Barthou in
Marseille will place a strain on the
friendship between France and Yu-
goslavia."

Unrest Is Predicted


BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Oct. TO-
The domestic situation in Yugo-
slavia. rather than international
hatreds, was blamed for the assassi-
nation yesterday of King Alexander
I of Yugoslavia in a statement here
today by DR.. F. Lee Dennis. Indi-
ana university history professor,
who predicted a period of unrest for
AleXander'S nation.
The statement of Dr. Dennis,
author of several histories and ex-
pert on the current European stu
alton. follows:
From the facts now known, it
seems rather doubtful that the
assassination of King Alexander of
Yugoslavia arose out of the inter-
national situation. If. as is report
ed, the assassin was a YugoSlav, the
motives for the assassination are
probably to be found in the Yugo-
Slay domestic situation. There are
plenty of factors in that situation
which might lead a diSgruntled Tu-
goSlav 10 aSSaSSlnate the king.
In the first place. Alexander'S
government has followed. since the
war. a policy of rigorous Centrali5a-
ton. Because of the kings refusal
to permit the liberalization of the
country so much desired by the
CroatlanS and some other elements.
the assassin may have been a
Croatlan YugoSlav who hoped thus
to improve the lot of his kinsmen.
"AleXanderS government also has
pursued a ruthless policy of Serbi-
zation among the MacedOnianS of
the country. MacedonianS have
complained repeatedly of the high
handed measures used against them.
and the assassin may have been a
Macedonian YugOSlav. smarting I'M
der the injuSticeS inflicted upon his
fellows.
In the third place, Alexander
ruled for a time after 1929 as a
dictator, and even now his govern
ment Is far from being truly rep
reSentative and democratic. The
assassin may have been one of that
group IN YugoSlavia which has been
lamenting the loss of popular gov
eminent
Finally. it must be remembered
that the Karageorge dynasty, of
ID which King Alexander was a men,
Der. came 10 the throne as the re-
suit of the assassination of the
Obrenovich ruler of Serbia in 1908
AT that time the king. queen. and
all the ministers OF state were killed
off at one blow. II is just possible
that some one connected with or
sympathetic with the older dynasty
may have killed the Yugoslav king
AT any rate. it seems fairly certain
that Yugoslavia is 10 experience a
period Of renewed unrest and in
stability.

LONDON, Oct. 1O-King Alex
ander started his state visit to
France fearing assassination, a
close friend revealed today to the
Daily Herald.
1t was for this reason the king

Prior to the journey, at Sofia,
the king told Prince Paul, his
uncle:
Sooner or later they will get
me. You, Paul, must take charge
of the country. Do your best"
The newspaper also revealed
that Alexander told intimate
friends that at Milan, Italy, was
a training school for assaSsins
whose object was to kill him.

king Alexander of Yugoslavia was
the second Serbian monarch OF that
name to die by the hands of aSsas-
sins.
Thirty-one years ago King Alex
ander, last of the Obrenovitch dy-
nasty, and his queen, Draga, were
aSsaSSinated in the palace at Bel
grade. The premier and the min
lister of war. brothers of the queen,
shared the same fate.
Unlike the king slain in Marseille
yesterday, Alexander Obrenovitch
was unpopular with his people. and
his death was greeted with relief.
The first Alexander succeeded to
the regency of Serbia upon the
death of his father, Milan. In 1900,
the youthful monarch incurred the
diSpleaSure Of his subjects and min
listers by marrying Draga, who had
been his mistress.

bers of white perch are being
landed between F1etcher's boathouse
and Chain Bridge, and three or four
pan rockflsh also have been landed.
The only place where the anglers
can wet q line with any success at
present is in the more or less swift
waters of the Potomac. Harry Chew
and his fishing companion, Sam
Angler, are making good catches every
time they visit these waters. On Tues
day they returned with catch OF l2S,
all landed at what is known as "Old
Boiling Rock" located about 130 yards
above the point Of land of Fletchers.
George Schaffer was another lucky
angler. catching more than 100 OF
these little garnesters, and julius
Fletcher also made catch over the
century mark.
These fish are being caught with
garden worms, crabs and bloodworms,
but the latter are said TO be more
eagerly sought by the perch at the
present time. Joe Fletcher said there
is no doubt that the best time to land
the perch is on the incoming tide.
This week the best time is in the
morning between and o'clock and
again in the late afternoon. Fletcher
also said he had seen some herring
breaking water in the early mornings.
1t may be that one of the other OF the
different runs of herring will be In
these waters any day.
Following the warm days of this
week I have tried to get q report Of
some hardheads being caught with
hook and line at the different salt
water fishing grounds, but without
success.
George M. Bowen at SolomonS
Island said that hardheads are being
landed in the nets in the mouth of
the Patuxent River, but that none
had been taken by the anglers. He
said that Eastern Shoremen told him
that hardheads are being landed in
the nets across the bay around

Hoopers Island and in Tangier Sound

~APT. GEORGE T. HoRsMAN at
I Benedict, Nd, informs us that
no hardheads are being taken
in the nets of the commercial fisher
men. which is a surprise, as Benedict
is one of the first places they usually
are landed.
Capt. Robert Lee, at Shadyside, re-
ports no hardheads have made their
appearance in the bay in his vicinity,
and that the herring landed so far
have been small, with comparatively
few shad being caught. He said all
boatmen are hoping for a larger run
Of these fish during the next few days,
but that he was none too optimistic
over the outlook.
Capt. Ed Garvin at Tilghman
Island. across the bay, gives us the
most encouraging report about hard
heads. These fish. he said, appeared
in large numbers Wednesday morning,
and a great number were landed in
the nets. Shad and herring had not
appeared in any large number. Owing
to the cold water, Capt. Garvin said
he thought these fish had stayed In
the deeper parts Of the bay. With the
appearance Of large numbers of hard
heads in the waters of the bay OF
Tnghman Island, just a few more
warm days and they will commence
to take bait.
Jack Hawley, well known local
angler, informs US that he wants to
arrange fishing trips this season for
anglers who do not have cars. He
says he has received many requests
from anglers, some Of them having
been on his trips last season, to ar
range such trips again this year. He
contemplates running a bus to the
