And Her Ideas From Paris +_ When Summer Dies Night at Sea â€"Thos. Curtis Clark. Ermlna P. Kearney. That all the recent trouble ‘in Rou- mania was “caused by the jealousy of Dowager Queen Marie is the statement of former Princess Catherine Radziwill, writes J. V. McAree in the Toronto Mail and Empire. The fact that the princess writes as an avowed enemy of Marie does not make her statements less interesting, though suggesting the prOpriety of receiving them with cau- tion. The origin of the trouble is to be found in the war years. It will be re- membered that Rumania remained out of the struggle for some time and then entered on the side of the Allies. It had been expected that she had em- ployed the time when her nearest neighbors, Bulgaria and Serbia, were being decimated, to bring her 'own weapons to a razor edge, and that she would enter the fray with a force that might make her the decisive factor. But the truth is that Rumania was hardly in before she was almost crush- ed. Mighty blows. fell on her, and there came. a time when it seemed a1- together likely that King Ferdinand would make a separate peace. That was his own desire, but he met strong oppo- sition in Queen Marie, who remained staunch for the Allies. Prince Carol also shared her views and between them they are credited with having in- duced Ferdinand to continue the strug- gle to a victorious end. Says Jealousy of Dowager Queen Was the Cause of All The Trouble in The fact that Carol had supported her is said to have given Marie the idea that he would always be pliable, andthat when he came to the throne she would be able to rule through her son. This seems reasonable enough, for the ambitions of Marie are as notor- ious as her capabilities. It happened that Ferdinand was on particularly friendly terms with Queen SOphie of Greece. The pair of them had the idea that their children could be most hap- pily wedded. The Princess Radziwill says that Marie was ignorant of the negotiations and only learned of Carol’s bethrothal when it was officially an- nounced. This is rather hard to be- lieve, but we can make a gulp and con- tinue with the story told by the prin- cess. Marie had other plans for Carol. She wanted him to marry a Princess Stirbey; for the Stirbeys were one of the Princess Tells Story Of Political Intrigue most powerful of Rumanian families and always been her devoted friend. Carol, however, wanted to marry Zizi Lambrina, and did as a matter of fact go through asceremon with her which was afterwards annul ed. Marie’s disappointment over his mar- riage with Helene is said to have turn- ed her into the implacable enemy of the young Grecian princess even before she reached Roumania, and after she had established herself there the in- trigue against her proceeded. It was furthered by Prince Stirbey, smarting over his failure, and by Bratianu, his brother-in-law. Then Carol became convinced his mother was unduly in- timate with Stirbey and protested to her. This widened the breach between them because Marie, for political, if for no other reasons, was deeply com- mitted to the Stibley policies. At this time Ferdinand was dying of an in- curable disease and the question was raised as to who would be the real ruler of Roumania when he passed. It was known that if Carol reached the throne one of his first acts would be to get rid of Stirbey and Bratianu. In this deter- mination he was sustained by Helene who had no reason to like either of them and strongly suspected that they were trying to separate her from her husband. But it seemed at the ,time irnpossible that Carol should be kept from the throne. Time was passing Then the idea of introducing an- other woman to win Carol from Helene occurred to some of the conspirators. Mme. Magda Lupescu was decided upon and the introduction made. Nature. was then left to take its course. Whether Mme. Ltipeecu knew why she had been introduced to Carol is pot, known. they â€"â€"vvw became lovers, devoted to each other. Then came the death of Queen Alex- andra and Carol went to London. It was quietly whispered to Mme Lupescu that she might with safety join him in Germany. She did so, bgpwas hor- rified to see the secret intrigue become an international newspaper feature in a few days. Who gave out the story may be inferred. The repercussions of the sensation undermined the tolerance of Ferdinand. already weakened by ill- claimtothethrooe. MWM'mr-udincof “Madman“.

Since Prince Michael was the heir-apparent, his mother, who was also his guardian, be- came to all intents and purposes the first lady of Rumania. Marie when ed to have herself appointed one of the regents during Michael’s infancy but failed in this also. Her efforts to have something to say about Michael's in- fluence were steadily repulsed by Helene and last summer Marie withdrew irom the capital and retired to one of her castles, vowing that she never would speak to her daughter-in-law again. Public opinion showed that Helene had won the position in the affections of the people once held by the redoubtable Marie, and her son, Nicholas, one of the Council of Regency, announced himself in favor of the return of Carol. So in the absence of Marie forces were at work which eventually brought Carol back. So it would appear that Marie has lost her great fight to control from the throne or from behind it the des- tinies of her adOpted country.
