CRITICAL SITUATION
ROUMANIAN KING’S ILLNESS.
COUNTRY’S DISTURBED CONDITION. PRINCE CAROL MAY RETURN. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received December 7. 12.15 p.m. BUCHAREST, Dec. 6. An uncensored message from the frontier states that tho situation is most critical and the country is on the brink of a political volcano. The King is suffering from cancer. Even Dr. Hartmann’s operation to-day, though reported to be successful, is unlikely to prolong life for more than a few weeks or a month.
Possible solutions of the turmoil which will follow the demise of the King are as follow: —(1) A. regency of Prince Nicholas, the Patriarch, and the President of the Court of Cassation.
(2) The same regency plus tho Queen. (3) The Queei a 3 the head of the State, which will necessitate legislation as Roumania is under the Salic law.
(4) Prince Carol as King. (5) Prince Carol as President of the Republic. The Premier, M. Averescu, favours the first solution; Al. Bratianu and the Liberals favour the second or tho third; the army and the National Party favour Prince Carol as King; the Peasants Party favour Prince Carol as President of the Republic. Prince Carol is only 'nulling to _ return as President as he is determined to divorce Princess Helen and marry Iltdlle. Dupesco, the Jewess, with whom he is living in Paris."® If Prince Carol returns upon the King’s death he will certainly be acclaimed with enthusiasm. No Government will be powerful enough to prevent an army coup d’etat in his favour. —A. and N.Z. cable.
APPOINTMENT OF REGENT. DESIRED BY QUEEn'aIARIE. LONDON, Dec. 6. The Bucharest «orrespondent of the Daily Express says: “King Ferdinand appears extremely, ill nnd emaciated, and is suffering from cancer and phlebitis. As he saluted and kissed the Queen on the station on her arrival she burst into tears. Tho Queen’s wish to be appointed Regent immediately is likely to meet many constitutional and legal difficulties. She has a hard fight ahead. —A. and N.Z. cable.
