A THRONE VACANT.
KING OF SERBIA ABDICATES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 13, 8.5 p.m. London, Oct. 12. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Express states a sensational story has been published that King Alexander of Serbia has abdicated in favor of his brother George, adding that M. Pashitch had a three-hour interview with Alexander, but failed to move him, despite all appeals. The correspondent adds: “Though the Serbian Legation denies' the story, my personal enquiries at Trianon Palace, here the Serbian King is staying, suggest that the story is true. The palace swarms with French and Serbian police. I believe Alexander never will be King except in name. He goes in daily fear of assassination. It is true that he has been ill, but not with appendicitis. The truth is the King has not formally abdicated, but has told George he can have the Throne if he wants it. Alexander prefers Versailles.” —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
