ION . { hold aloof from the court ang=<the | | reigning house of Greece. however, about Queen Marie of Ru- mania. Her face is beautiful as that of the exiled ruler of Bulgaria is ili- favored. The Bulgars drove Fer- dinand from his throne and from their country amid a such a storm | of execration that he narrowly es- caped with his life. But the Rumanians, remembering the herolsm displayed by Queen Marle in nursing their wounded through three terrible wars, and their sick and dying through epidemics of chol- era and typhus, look upon her as akin to a saint and as very much of an angel. Still, when the Rumanian angel spreads her white wings for a flight abroad there is always something of & stir at foreign courts and capitals. As in the case of the Mephistopheles of the Balkans, something Is doing, that she has some object In view In quitting her do- minions, and they are on the alert. The difference between her visita- tions and those of Ferdinand of Bul- garia is that, whereas his aims were to stir up trouble, those of Marie of Runiania are to promote peace and international good-will &-- usually through matrimony. When it was learned the other day that Queen Marie had unexpectedly arrived in the French capital and had long visits from President Millerand and Premier Poincare, all sorts of rumors became current as to the object of her trip abroad. This much has already b gathered since her meetings with ident Miller- and and Premier Poincare, namely, that France has decided to adopt a friendlier attitude towards Greece, with whom her relations have been strained since the time when a de- tachment of French sailors from the men-of-war in the port of Piraeus were ambushed and shot down on the streets of Athens in the great war. Ever since then France's repre- sentatives in Greece have been di- reted to confine their official relations to the Athens Government and to This atti- | tude of the French Government, : which has been followed by most of | the other Entente nations and by the United States, has made the position of young King George II. and his con- sort, Queen Elizabeth, eldest daugh- ter of Queen Marie, very difficult. % It is believed that the matrimonial intentions of Queen Marie with we- gard to her youngest daughter are taking shape. The childlessness of the young King and Queen of Greece seems certain. The next in the line of succession to the one of Greece is King Geor, ol brother, Paul, a good-looking about 21 years of age, the only m er of his family whq has been allowed by the Greek Government to remain at Athens. Princess Ileana has been there as the guest and companion of her sister, the Queer, and has naturally been thrown much into the company of Princ Paul, whose taste for ail | kinds of sports she shares, thanks to { her English bringing-up. Princess Ileana, A match between Prince Paul and both born and brought up in the Orthodox Greek { faith, would be eminently suitable, ahd, now that the cause of the mon- | archy in Greece seems assured, would | 80 far to consolidate that grouping of | nations known as the Balkan League. | | _ Queen Marie is the soul or the.

It was | then that Queen Marie, glive tc the importance of the re-establishment of the league as a Wefense against Bol- shévism, the Turks and Central European intfigues, took a hand in the matter. Far-sighted enough to see that Crown Prince George of Greece, who had accompanied his parents on their first exile to Switserland, would eventually occupy the throne at Ath- ens, she set to Work to negotiate a match for her eldest daughter Eliza- beth with him; at a time when his | entire family were in straightened tircumstances and prospects seamed most sombre.

Measure Expected to Pass in Mani toba Assembly, Winnipeg, Feb. 1.--Under a rul. ing given in the legislature by Hon, P. A. Talbot, Speaker, John Queen, Labor leader, who, Monday night, asked for delay in the introduction of the Church Union bill pending the result of action started in Toronto to prohibit Rev. Dr. Gandier from speaking in the name of the Presby- terian church, was given the right to discuss the motion of A. McGregor, Gladstone, for introduction of the measure. Mr. Queen was prohibited from discussing the merits of the bill itself, Kowever, and the objec- tiong raised as to the form of the pe- tition were left to the House or the committee to deal with. Mr. Queen probably will take advantage of the right conferred upon him tomorrow, and move that the House take no ac- tion in respect of the bill till the On- ' ~ po or Exchanges tarlo case has been decided. So mms en ge i A a AW ie Ee Supporters of the bill {n the legis= lature expressed confidence tNat this a motion would be rejected, that the objections raised to the form of the bill could not be sustained when they Were dealt with, and and that the measure would ultimately be given third reading.
