London---Scraps of the inner his- ory of Prince Carel's renunciation of the throne of Rumania that have reached official circles show that was inspired not by political reasons, but because the Prince re- sented any interference with his love affairs and finally so lost his temper with his chief courtier that he boxed his ears. Behind all this was a feud between M. Bratiano, the Libefal Premier, and the young Prince. The first "scene" occurred when ha Premier persisted in giving the * the act rince news of the King's illness on he pretext that this was necessitat- ed by the repeated absences of the Quickly banishes the troublesome cold or cough. 25¢. and 50c.

Brantiano received a biting snub: "It is quite unneces- sary to bring me reports about my father's. illness. The doctors keep me informed. As to the succession, I mist ask you not to volunteer your advice. 1 do pot need it, and, if fate should make me king--well, 1 have a head to rule with." Ordered Out. This reply, unexpected in nature and inexplicable in tone, deeply of- fended M. Bratiano, who answered: "Your Royal Highness, I beg to re- mind you that I am leader of the most powerful party in Rumania: and that I have served the Crown and the country faithfully and with a due sense of my responsibility to- wards both for more than twenty years. 1 think such words should not be spoken, and I do not deserve them." The Prince replied by peremptor- ily dismissing the Prime Minister from his présence. Shortly' before the Prince left for London, Prince Stirbey, a courtier, whose sister is the wife of M. Bra- tiano, ventured one day to remen- strate with the Priffice regarding his private life, and suggested more dis- cretion in carryfg on his love af- fairs with Mme. Lupescu. The Prince accused him of insolence and boxed his ears. Lady-Love There, The King then decided to speak to his son, and the Prince replied: "Why take me only to task? Don't you see what is going on in the Palace?" The King said no more at the time, but despatched Prince Carol as his representative at the funeral of Queen Alexandra, in the hope that the journey might relieve the fric- tion. On the return journey Mme. Lupescu, who, had hurried from Bukharest, for the purpose, met the Prince on the platform of the Gare ' du Nord in Paris. The Queen of Rumania wrote more than once to her son in Paris taking him to task for his associa- tion with Mma, Lupescu.

He observed in the let- ter: "dt must be known who reigns in Rumania, the Hohenzollern or the Bratiano!"" King as "Prisoner." This letter played into the hands of his enemies, Availing themselves of the threat of renuuclation con- tained in it, they persuaded the King to accept. The ratification of the Prince's act of renunciation, the pro- clamation of Prince Michael as heir, and the institution of the regency were to take place on the following day at the meeting of the National Assembly. On arriving at Bukharest, the King sent for M. Iorga, the leader of the Agrarian Party, and told him the decision. M. Iorga bowed and observed: "Your Majesty! From to-day you are the prisoner of Bratiano's'Liber- als, therefore you no longer have need of my advice." Rigid Court Life. With these words he began to walk to the door. The King, greatly agitated, called out: "Iorga, orga, are you leaving me 7" To which M. Torga replied: "It is not we who are leaving you, but you who have left us. I offered to bring you the Prince from-Venice, as ¥ did once before when I brought. him back from Bistritza. But you were unwilling." M. Torga then left the room. The regency was constituted and ratified in the afternoon. Prince Carol has, throughout the drama, filled the role of a wilful son young enough to prefer the infatu- ated passion for a woman to the rigid court life of an heir- -apparent, subjected to the machinations of po- litical enemies and sycophantic cour~ tiers. ------------ | OBITUARY | Mrs. R.
