RUMANIAN CRISIS

ALARMIST REPORT IN PARIS

QUEEN MARIE RUSHES HOME PRINCE CAROL’S ATTITUDE Bt tziugbaph.—press associahos. Copt hight. (Rec. December 2, 7.45 p.m.) Paris, December 2. An alarmist report that a state of siege has been declared in Bucharest is discredited, but the fact is that Queen Marie cut short her stay after consultation with General Angelesco, Mar-sh-1 of Rumanian Court, who brought the latest advices from Bucharest. The Queen departed by ordinary train, without waiting for dinner, in such a rush that she broke a pearl necklace on the station platform. Professor Hartmann will not operate on King Ferdinand until after the Queen's arrival. The operation is expected to -remove King Ferdinand’s life from danger, hut the King’s advisers feel tliat it would be unwise to take risks until he has seen the Queen. It is expected that Queen Marie will be niade a member of the Council of Regency, which at present consists of P incess Helen, Prince Nicholas, the head of the Rumanian Church, and the President of the Court of Cassation. In such a combination, the Queen would obviously be the dominating force. General Angelesco informed Prince Carol that the latter would be permitted to see his father in his private capacity. The possibility of his reinstatement as heir, however, was more remote.. The Prince himself shows no disposition to break with Madame Lupesco or become reconciled with Princess Helen.

KING'S MESSAGE TO NATION PROFOUND IMPRESSION CREATED (Rec. December 2, 7.45 p.m.) Bucharest, December 1. King Ferdinand's message to the nation created a profound impression.
