JUGO-SLAVIC THRONE.
RIVAL BROTHER CLAIMANTS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, August 28. The Milan correspondent of the Daily Chronicle states that a background recalling the tragedy of King Alexander and Queen Draga lies behind the dispute between King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia and his brother George. Two secret societies, the Black and White Hands, are working in the kingdom, the Whites supporting the present dynasty, for whose defence they are formed, the Blacks opposing the King whom they raised to power, but who refuses to be their tool. They support Prince George’s claims and hope that if he ascends to the throne he will do what Alexander will not. They have succeeded in dividing the army. It is stated that Prince George sustained wounds in the war, precluding his assent to the throne even if he had not renounced the succession.
