pointed that a Republican government need not observe proprieties IR a case like that of the regicides As matters stand today it can be safe ly state that the part of the regicides is again in full control and unless Great Britain recedes from her position she will have to be content with taking the blame for having aided one of the most disreputable and irresponsible set of In- triguers that ever disgraced a European court It is generally that the cab inet will propose to King Peter the ac ceptance of British conditions But there is still some doubt if King Peter will consent to separate

England Continues Effort toResume Relations
CHURCHES IN GERMANYS-
ome Protestant Provinces Give Evi-dence of Going Into a Very
Serious Convulsion
LONDON May 12 Abundant indica-tions are discernible that the Britishgovernment in showing willingness toresume diplomatic relations with Servia is on the verge of making an irre-parable mistake No criticism is heardabout the course of the United Statesin sending Mr Riddle to Belgrade Itbeing pointed that a Republicangovernment need not observe proprietiesIR a case like that of the regicides
As matters stand today it can be safely state that the part of the regicidesis again in full control and unless GreatBritain recedes from her position shewill have to be content with taking theblame for having aided one of the mostdisreputable and irresponsible set of In-triguers that ever disgraced a Europeancourt
It is generally that the cabinet will propose to King Peter the acceptance of British conditions But thereis still some doubt if King Peter willconsent to separate himself from themurderers of his unlucky predecessorHe was vacillating for some time butthe rumor is circulating that since hehad a few days ago an intimate con-versation with Geeehteh who is
to have in his hands certain letters written by King Peter previous tothe assassination of King Alexander andQueen Drag he has firmly decided notto remove the regicides from the activeservice
