PRINCE CAROL.

RENUNCIATION of POSITION.

NEW LIGHT ON SUBJECT.

LONDON, Jan. 11. The Daily Mail’s diplomatic correspondent says that private messages from Bucharest throw now light on Princo Carol’s renunciation of his right of succession to tho Roumanian throne and his membership of the Roumanian Royal Family. When tho Prince married Zizi Lambrino, tho Moldavian girl, in 1918 ho fraternised with Austran and German officers in Odessa, thus arousing tho most intense indignation in Roumania, which was then fighting on tho side of tho Allies. After ho married Princess Holen of Greece he had various lovo affairs with women of moro or less doubtful character. Ho is now wildly enamoured of a young Jewess, who married a major, who by Princo Carol’s intervention was appointed a military attache in a European capital. Princo Carol bought houses for tho young Jewess both in Bucharest and in tho capital, where her husband was employed since his marriage. Consequently reports which are being circulated in Roumania that tho Princo is abnormal oan bo understood.

King Ferdinand, realising tho danger involved to tho country if Princo Carol succeeded to tho throne, has refused all proposals for mediation.
