It's the most amazing tale in the history or modern royalty. Up to about 1905, when he attelned, his majority 18-r-he was almost model prince. He was the eldest son and heir -sto the! Serbian throne. He was the apple ol the eye or his rather, old King Peter, who.

oh his eighteenth birthday! before the assembled regiments or the nation said to him: "My dear son. my Joy at your birth IS years ago was great. Today when you enter the officers' corps or my brave army my pride is greater. With the help or Providence you will one day inherit the Serbian thrones and wjll be the highest officer in the army in which you today step as lieutenant." In less than six months George had made himself the talk aw scandal of the Balkans; i He beat his aides. He dressed as; kins and held drunken orgies.

He threatened to horsewhip the premier. He drove a car at wild speed through the narrow, ilt1 paved streets of Belgrade. Hef paid swift court pretty actresses in Vienna. to He was mad about pretty women. One day- passing doiwn a Belgrade street tie saw the picture of Mile- Laurel an actress.

He secured her address-and posted' a proposal of marriage. Having quarreled with another pretty actress, he made disparaging remarks about her. She appeared at the Bear restaurant in Belgrade and publicly horsewhipped him. Of course she was arrested, but the national feeling -was on her side and the matter was discreetly dropped. It is estimated he proposed mar-' riage to at least 39 pretty women.

He was. the universal lover, paying court to girls, of all nations. The climax to his career, came when his valet mysteriously died. WINE; 'r EGYPT'S PROBLEM. Jfst brief paragraph from Cairoj announcing the completion of the Makwar on the Blue Kile, illustrates the real issue between England and Egypt.

This data will irrigate a vast area of rich and cheap Sudanese lands with water which otherwise would have1 flowed through' Egypt. Egypt lives on water which flows nrst through the Sudan. Whoever controls the Upper Nile can rule or starve Egypt. As a matter of people, the Sudanese are better off under British rule, and the Egyptians are willing to take the risk' of ruling themselves. But as a matter of water, the Nije is one unit.

and. the whole of it should be controlled by some one Interested In the welfare of Egypt. Therefore, England says both parts should be In British, and Egypt that both should be in Egyptian control. :4 The Egyptians are logical and the British are practical. Let it be 7 hoped that they will muddle out some illogical solution that works.
