J ROVAL cm Such Is tha Position King Peter Will Occupy In Servia. Real Government Will Be Military Dictatorship Under Direction of Revolutionary Leaders. Uneasy Indeed Will Rest the Head That Wears the Crown in This Case. Belgrade. June 17—The posit! n of King Peter promises to be little more than that of a royal captive, and the real government of the country will be a military dictatorship under the leaders of the revolution. Colonel Maschin and Colonel Mitsi hitch The new king is almost without any per sonal adherents, and the ruling .--pirlts of the army, it is thought probable, would Just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor should he oppose their aims At the present moment th-’ v.hole country is under military .' de an 1 al though no prefects in the country d - trtets have been revoke I. er. h is acompanied by an army off or who attends the prefect wherever he goes even to th.? telephone. This po'iey has led to one good r exult not a single case of disorder anywhere has been reported Extremely forcible arguments were found necessary to suppr s rad ical aspirations of a republic. The foremost advocate of the creation of a republican form of government was LJubomlr Schiokovlcs. th ‘ editor of the Belgrade Odjek. Finding him impervious to arguments, the consplra tors invited him to a dinner at the Officers' club. During the dinner his host told him that unless he agreed to support Prince Peter KaraG'rrg? ovltch, there would he on? head less in Belgrade. M. Schlokovii-s yielded to the force of this reasoning and ac cepted the situation. He Is now mln later of Justice in the new govern ment The deliberations of the mem hers of the senate and Skuptsi hina on the republican question were mate ii ly hastened by the attendance of one of the leaders of the revolution, f'ol Mitschitch. The colonel took no part in the proceedings, but his presence was significant enough to induce the members to accept the army's choice Premier Avakumovlcs told the depu ties that It was useless to talk of a republic, as neither Russia nor Aus tria would permit it. He further ar sued that the proposed new constltu tion would give King Peter far les power than that enjoyed by the presl dent of the United States Inquiries in official circles everywhere elicit the assurance that the people are delighted with the action of the government, but conversations overheard in public places indicate that the people, especially those living outside the capital, know little and care little about the trend of national politics One of the feature in all tbe shop windows is the display of large pictures at King Peter, freshly prffcted. the onto havfng been brought Irotn abroad Two peasants were heard dleousxicg oce at Micse prints The first asked who ft wgs "The new king, Kara-Georgaovlteh replied the second “Why did they hill the last Wing''’ "I don’t know 1 think he had some trouble with the army.” “Suppose this one has trouble with the army?" “They will kill him. too.” came the unconcerned response It is believed the army will try to make secret terms with the new king by which it will retain the supremacy gained by the tragedy, hut whether the king will agree to the conditions is uncertain.

And what might follow Is the question. It is evident that all in Breathitt county are considering the question most serloumy. although few will openly dls< uss It.
