The Roumanian girl herself subsequently told the United Press that she was a "poor woman against whom the world now Is unjustly “cruel,” and begged the interviewer “not tp Insist’’ upon on answer to his query as to whether she Intends to wed Carol. Os Princess Helen, his wife, the prince declared he cherished “the highest regard,” while of his son, the new Roumanian heir presumptive, Carol admitted that he “adored him.” “One tiling I have deeply regretttd is tho allusion to a plot. There Is absolutely no political reason behind my action. Tt Is purely personal and it pains me to read gossip of preparation of a revolt against the monarchy.” J Devoted to Couptry Carol, who has been reported as perhaps conspiring to unseat both Premier Britianu and King Ferdinand, drew himself up in soldierly fashion. “My devotion as a'prince and my loyalty as a soldier make it unnecessary for me to even deny such an absurdity. I consider it indecorous to deny the anti-monarchistlc attitude attributed to me. I remain a soldier aud a loyal subject and will never raise obstacles for my country.” While members of his entourage previously had declared that the Carol renunciation letter to Bucharest was a forgery, the prince himself declared: “My renunciation Is a fuct. It Is absolutely true. I did It for reasons which concern me personally. My position ns prince does not justify that the public compel me to relate the facts which are not political. Princes also have rights to their souls.”
