PARIS, July . The lure of a
pretty woman may have had much
to do with tha present King
Carol'a action In renouncing th
Rumanian throne when h
crown prints, but the unscrupu
loua brand of political Intrigue
and trlckurr Hi practiced In hl
native country certainly had a
part. '
The auddanneaa with which the
errant prince waa catapulted to
the throne when he returned to
tncharesl from exile recently
shows that anything may happen
la Rumania, and frequently does.
By the aanie token. It probably
explains much in connection with
kla departure nearly fire year
before.
Viewed from one angle, Carol
may be a reckless and Irrespon
sible royal vagsbond. more con
rerned with feminine charmi than
with the welfare of hla country.
Viewed from another angle he
may be a young man who waa to
aappy In loveless royal mar
riage that waa not of hia own
choosing-and disgusted wUh the
machination thai surrounded the
Knmanlan throne, and therefore
aought to get away from it all.
a
Certainly his father, old King
Ferdinand, was king in name only
during hia la.t years, when Carol
was growing to manhood. The
powerful Bratlann family, which
bad imported the royal family
from Germany a generation before
when Rumania gained lta 'reedom
fsom the Turks, really ruled the
country. Ion Bratlanu. prim,
minister, led the king .round by
Us nose politically speaking.
Queen Marie, Carol s mother,
tried to buck this outfit when she
eame from England as the young
granddaughter of Quean Victor
ia become Ferdinands wife. She
failed, and. being wise, promptly
joined them. . ,
Crown Prince Carol, howerer.
was Imbued with more Independ
ent Ideal. He looked forward to
being bis own "er hen ,.,h
time should come for him to take
the throne, and made no secret of
the fact that when bis day arrived
the Bratlann Influence would per
ish. He hated Bratlann and the lat
ter'e brotber-in-law. Prince Babu
Blirbey. a mysterious figure at the
Rumanian court.
"When Lam king I will clean
out your whole crowd!" he Is
once reported to bare told them.
And so there was war within
the royal palaoe.
a
One can hear almost anything
In Knmanlan political circles, de
pending on which side be listens
to. And so, truthful or not,
strange stories hare been told.
It is even charged that Prince
Carol's youthful marriage to Zixl
Lambrino. a commoner, was the
result of a deep-dyed political plot
engineered by the Bratianns In an
attempt to discredit him, and thns
prevent htm from ever ascending
the throne.
It is also rumored that Mme.
Lnpesca. his beautiful mistress,
waa secretly In the pay ot the Bra
tlonui, who had a similar motive
In thla case.
Whether these charges are trne
r false. It Is nevertheless appar
ent that young Prince Carol did
not show overly muoh resistance
when a pretty face beckoned.
When Carol fled with Mme. Lu
peaca a graft scandal was prompt
ly discovered In connection with
the purchase of military airplanes.
He hsd approved the contracts in
question, to be sure, but his
friends ssy be countersigned them
Innocently.
"To the devil with this crooked
business!" Carol Is said to have
exclaimed when these accusations
of dishonesty reached him. "I am
sick of It all, and I am going to
njoy life normally, as any man
should." - -.
It was the Bratlanu Influence,
It Is claimed, that compelled King
Ferdinand to demand Prince

Michael, is shown between Queen MsTie and bis mother. Princess
Helen, as he reviewed his army of 100.000 men at a grand military
display. The smaller child is Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, his cousin.
Below are Queen Marie, King Michael and Princess Helen as they
appeared when he ascended the throne at 6 years.
Carol's renunciation of the throne
after it had been represented that
Carol In Paris was plotting a rev
olution in Rumania.
Bratlanu qulted the king, then
almost on his deathbed, as ssy
ing. "Carol la the foul branch of
the dynasty which must be cut off
to save the tree." And when Fer
dinand died and 5-year-old Mich
ael became king, Bratlanu follow
ed this up by appointing himself
executor ot whst he called the last
will of the dead king. Moreover,
he became Queen Marie's Disraeli,
guiding her as be bad guided Fer
dinand. . e
The brand of Rumanian politic
that Carol bad assailed was notor
ious. The liberals, with Ion Bra
tlann at their head, ran the coun
try. The profits of members and
friends ot the government were
not a subject of gossip or scandal.
They were mentioned in a matter-of-fact
manner as a sort ot accept
ed and expected practice.
Ion Bratlanu's brother, Vlntlla.
waa minister of finance, and thns
in control ot bank credit Credit
was both scarce and expensive in
Rumania, costing ordinary folk
from JO to 40 per cent. Thus,
when peasants defaulted on their
lands as many did tbey were
forced to sell them for whstever
they would bring. The liberals
bought . . . and profited hand
somely.
The brand of politics practiced
In elections. It has been said,
"would make a Chicago ward boss
think he hsd died and gone to
heaven." The local police perfect
was a ciar with powers to pass on
tax sheets, applications for shop
keepers' licenses and the like. Sel
dom, therefore, did anyone dare
risk his displeasure on election
day.

brother, Vlntlla, not half as
shrewd, succeeded him as tb pow
er behind the throne.
Clsmor tor the return ot Carol
began to be heard openly and soon
It Increased. A taw years sgo
Carol thought the time had arriv
ed and be made an abortive at
tempt to re-eater Rumania by air
plane from the estate ot a Ruman
ian friend In Knglaud, but tbe
British government heard about
II and chased htm out ot tha coun
try. His hopes grew stronger In ths
winter ot 1S8, when the oonserv
stlree joined with the peasants'
party to oust Vlutlla Bratlanu's
liberals and John Manlu became
prenilor. Nothing happened im
mediately, but the liberal's bitter
attacka on Carol were forbidden
on the ground that he waa "the
brother ot the regent and father
of the king."
Thau Carol or his friends be
gan to play some keen politics
themselves. The weaknesses ot
the existing government under ths
child king were exsggerated upon
and Jald before the populace by
clever propaganda. 11 la even
hinted that tbe recent unfortu
nate engagement ot Princess Ilea
na to a uerman prince. Innocently
engineered by Queen. Marte, was a
clever piece of trickery Intended to
trap Marie and prove that the Ru
manian royal family needed a man
at Its head.
Such Is politics in Rumania,

The Caroiists' strength contin
ued to grow, and the time tor his
return ripened sooner thsn oven
he himself hsd expected. An
nouncement that everything waa
ready came to him In a telegram
from hla brother. Prince Nicholas,
while Queen Msrls wss en route
to the passion play at Oberam
mergau. Carol responded quickly, arriv
ing In Rumania by airplane at
midnight.
Next day the national assembly
met, solemnly decided that Carol
had never renounced his rights,
that little Michael hsd never been
king, thst since Ferdinand's desth
the rightful king of Rumsnla had
been "Carol II," and therefore
proclaimed bis kingship by a vote
of 48 to 1. The one vote was
thst ot Vlntlla Bratlanu ... the
old hatred of the power behind
the throne still lived.
Rumanians, long accustomed to
royal affairs of the heart. looked
on Carol's romsnces leniently and
forgave as he became their ruler.

snd sisters ... more about this
