Pans. ? a rumor that King Frederick
of Saxony wan considering the abdica
tion of liia throne in favor of bis ion.
Prince George, probably owes ita in
spiration to the festivities arranged in
Dresden for the young man's twenty
tbtrd birthday anulversary on Jan. 15,
coupled with the fact that for the past
three yea fa, since he became twenty,
he bus been gradually initiated Into
state affairs, more and more taking his
father's place in the reception of minor
committees from the council of minis
ters and parliament. This has been
in accordance with the policy of state
to take every precautionary measure
poaslble to protect the heir to the 8ax- j
on tliroue and the Saxon people from |
the influence of- Prince George's moth- !
er. the notorious ex-Crown Princess <
Louise, in the event of the sudden
death of King Frederick and the ac
cession of Prince Gatfrge.
The Saxon gajjernment fears ex
Crown Princess Louise's baneful influ
ence upon her son almost as much ai
I the Prussians of a century ago feared
Napoleon. She is their nightmare, and'

responsibilities of state the government
i* lu <lrca<l of poMslhle compllcatlona.
Everything is being done to give him
a full appreciation of bis duty aB king.
Prince George has not seen his moth
er for several years, since her bo called
"memoirs" were published. She elop
ed from the royal palace some years
ago with his tutor. Glron. and was di
vorced by King Frederick, being com
pelled to renounce her title as crown
princess, her husband conferrrlng upon
her the title of Countess of Monti
gnoso. The 'king took charge of the
girl baby b??rn to Louise after her
elopement, the child being christened
ax the king's and given tlie-'name of
Princess Anne Monique Pie. being In
eluded in the royal family and kept
away from the mother entirely.
Louise's later escapade in marrying an
Italian ' pianist. Toselll, the publicity
of a divorce from him and a tight for
the child born of this union, with the
publication of her memoirs ridiculing
her husband's family, had the effect of
completely alienating King Frederick
and hi* government from her. Com*
punitive poverty has kept ber quiet In
recent years.
Prim-e George's marriage ha9 already
received a good deal of attention by
his father and the Dresden court, since
It Is obviously wise to see him settled
down early with a prudent wife, whose
Influence would counteract any which
Ills mother would attempt to exert. A
few months Ik- fore the war It was said
that Informal negotiations bad been
opened with the csar for an alliance

and the Grand I)u<-hess Tatiana, the

nineteen next May. a beautiful girl,

is, of course, quite Impossible now, and

lieved the league could be revived.
Kinston fans don't seem to take
much interest in the chatter going
the rounds but there are a sufficient
number of towns outside of Kin

a probability that this will be done.
New Bern now has a City League

the members of this will be seen In ;
