KING FERDINAND
THE KING DYING. Berlin, April 5. A message from Bucharest states that King Ferdinand is dying. He has taken no nourishment for 24 hours and has been unconscious all night. PRESS CORRESPONDENT ORDERED TO LEAVE. London, April 5. The mystery of King Ferdinand’s illness which has been the subject alternatively of gravest reports and sharp denials has had a curious sequel. Mr Gedge, the Daily Express’s special correspondent in Bucharest, has been ordered to leave Rumania within 24 hours, otherwise he will be forcibly escorted to the frontier by gendarmes which the Chief of Police, in communicating the decision, described as a “very painful process.” Mr Gedge attempted to telegraph a statement to General Averescu, who has assumed dictatorial powers to cope with any possible disturbances in case of Ferdinand’s death which is admittedly true. The Royal family spent the day at the King’s bedside. —A. and N.Z.
