The lure of a pretty woman may have had much I to do with the present King carol s action in renouncing the Rumanian throne when he was crown prince, but the unscrupulous brand of poetical po-etical intrigue and trickery as practiced In his native country certainly cer-tainly had apart. The suddenness with which, the errant prince waa catapulted to the throne when he returned to.Bucha-rest to.Bucha-rest from exile recently show that anything may happen in Rumania, "and frequently does. By the' same token, it probably explains much in connection with his departure nearly near-ly five years before; . . Viewed from one angle,; Carol may be a reckless and irresponsible royal vagabond, more concerned with feminine- charms than with the welfare of his country. Viewed from another angle-'he may be' a young man who was unhappy un-happy In a loveless royal marriage that was not of his own choosing and disgusted with the machinations machina-tions that surrounded the Rumanian Ruman-ian throne and therefore sought to l;-et away from it all. King -in Namo Only ; Certainly, his father, old King Ferdinand was king in name"oniy during his last . years when Carol was growing -to manhood. The powerful pow-erful Bratianu family, which had Imported the royal family from Germany! generation before when Rumania gained its freedom from the Turks, really ruled the country. Ion Bratianu. f pime minister, led the king around by the nose polit- stories have .been told. . It is even charged that Prince Carol's youthful marriage to .. Zizi Lambrino, a commoner, was the result re-sult of a deep-dyed political plot engineered en-gineered by the Bratlanus in an attempt at-tempt to .discredit him and "thus .prevent him from ever ascending the throne. It is .also . rumored , that , Mme. Lupescu, his beautiful mistress, was secretly in the pay of the Bratlanus who had a. similar motive in this esse. . Whether thcae vnarK"' are true or false,. it is nevertheless apparent fthat young Prince. Carol did cut show overly, much resistance when a pretty face beckoned. , " -Discover Scandal When' Carol fled, with -Mme. Lupescu . a graft scandal was promptly .discovered In connection with the purchase of military airplanes. air-planes. - He had approved the contracts con-tracts in question, to be sure, but his' friends ay . he countersigned them innocently. "To the devil with this crooked business!" Carol is said to have ex- claimed when these accusations of dishonesty reached him. "I am sick of it all, I am going to enjoy life normally as any ma should." It was the Bratianu influence, it j is .claimed, that compelled King Ferdinand to demand Prince" Carol's Car-ol's . renunciation of the throne ft.er It had been presented that Carol in Paris was plotting a rert lution in Ruman:&. . ' Bratianu quoted the king, then almost on his deathbed, as saying "Carol is . the foul branch of the dynasty which must be cut off . to save the tree." And when Ferdinand Ferdi-nand died and 5-year-old . Michael became king, Bratianu followed this of what he called the last will, of the dead king. Moreover, he became be-came Queen Marie's Disraeli, guld- Queen Marie. Carol's mother, I ing her as he. had guided Ferdinand.

The profits of members and" friends of the government were not a subject sub-ject of gossip or scandal, They were mentioned in a matter-of-fact manner man-ner -as a sort of accepted and expected ex-pected practice. Ion Bratianu'8 . brother Vintila, was minister of finance and thus in control of bank credit.. Credit was both scarce and expensive .in Rumania, Ru-mania, costing ordinary folkfronv 30 to 40 per cent. Thus, when peas, ants defaulted on their , lands as many did they were forced to sed them for , , whatever they would bring.- The Liberals .bought v . and prdflted handsomely.

She failed and, .being wise, - promptly joined them. Crown Prince Carol, however, was Imbued with more independent ideals. He looked forward tobeing his own master wheirthe time should come "for him tpvtake the throne, and made no secret of the fact that when his .day Arrived the Bratianu influence would perish. He hated Bratianu and the Iat-ter's Iat-ter's brother-in-law.

Seldom, therefore, did anyone dare risk . his displeasure displeas-ure on election Cay. - y Whn Ion Bratianu' died, his brother, Vintila, not half "as" shrewd, succeeded him as the power behind the throne.

Nothing happened in:me- fiiately, but the Liberals' bitter at tacks on Carol were forgotten on the ground that he was "the brother of the regent and father of the king." ."; . ; ;: ' Trickery XcpnsciJ-i- . ; Then Carol or his .friends be gan to play some keen politics themselves. The weaknessesof . the existing government under the child king' were exaggerated upon and laid before the populace by clever propaganda.1 It is even hinted that the recent unfortunate, engagement pf Princess Ileana, to. a German prince, innocently engineered by Queen Marie," was a clever piece cf jtrickery intended to trap Maie and prove that the Rumanian - royal family needed a .an at. its hed.
