Further- more, Carol adds that King Ferdin- and's letter urging his son to recpect the Regency and never to return to Rumania was forced upon the weak- ened King by the masterful Premier at a time when the late monarch was so ill that he had no will of his own, Carol is revealing these intrigues now to the Rumanian people after careful consultation with special agents from Rumania who ave visit- ing him in Paris. They are reported to have assured him that the Ruman- ians are not reconciled with the idea of a long regency, during which Pre- mier Bratiano and his followers would be virtually dictators, and ave only awaiting the signal from Paris to ac claim the former Crown Prince as King. There is no doubt that Pre- mier Bratiano will use all the power- ful resources at his command to pre- vent the return of Prince Carol, but the Prince's friends are convinced that it will be sufficient for him to reach the Rumanian frontier in order to put an end to the reign of the regency and Bratiano, ern Military Training Quebec Action Catholique (Ind,)--= (The resolution of the world federas tion of educational assoclations--that girl athlete in Canada; Miss Catherwood, certainly the best high jumper in| military training should be prohibited Canada and probably the best in the world, and Mrs. Bert O'Nell--Rosa |in civil schools--cannot be sustained).

England and France Disagree on Rhine Troops London.--An exchange of notes be- tween Great Britain and France has indicated that the British and French Governments as yet do not see eye to eye in the question of removing Ger- man complaints concerning occupation troop numbers in the Rhineland. Great Britain, it is stated, is anxious to carry out the promise of 'the Ambasea dors' Conference of 1925, which would involve a reduction of the forces of occupation to 5,600. The 'latest note from France in the Anglo- French diplomatic, exchanges, which have continued for nearly a month, suggests that the French troops be re- duced by 5,000, with the y The money i 1s actually saved early so valuable asthe psych. logical effort which it produces.
