The Royalist newspaper "Action Francalse,’’ announced the death ot the Duo d’Orieana under the huge headlines: "The King is dead, long live the King."

If de Guise Is not interested himself in Royalist politics and If he accepts the pretenderflhip, ho will bo forced to leave France. Other newspapers draw attention to the fact that Due d’Orleans desired to be burled at Dreux. His parents, the Count and Countess de Paris, are burled in Surrey and did not desire to be interred in the Royal tombs at Dreux until 'the French Government gave permission to the "King ot France” to attend the funeral.
