Daughter of King Leopold II, Released From Mad house, Writes Book De scribing Tragedies Of Royalty. By International SerTlc. London, May 2. "I owe nothing but misfortune to my royal origin. My life represents a succession of fatalities of which I was powerless to avert the final denoument. I have been a victim ever since my girlish feet were led into devious paths. I have always suffered defeat." These words come from Princess Louise of Belgium, the daughter of King Leopold II, who in her book, "My Own Affairs," published recent ly, retraces "the road of my Calvary." She gives to the world some amaz ing revelations of the intrigues at "the most corrupt court of Europe." where she lived for more than 20 years. "Married in 1874 at 17 to Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg, I expected to find in marriage the joys that a hus band and child can give. I have had bitter proof to the contrary." Imprisoned in an Asylum. For 33 years she was tied to a husband she loathed the marriage was annulled in 1907. In 1898 she had been placed in an asylum "mad, for leasons of state." There she remained until, after seven or eight years, she ( scaped, and in Paris was declared stne. "Driven to Munich by the war, then to Budapest, taken prisoner by Hungarian bolshevists, I have sur vived the European tempest, and I have seen all those who disowned and crushed me beaten and punished. "On the day when I was being f searched by Hungarian bolshevists I heard one of them say to another; 'Here is a king's daughter who is poorer than I am.' " Of her wedding day Princess Louise speaks with horror. "I am not, I am sure, the first woman who. after having lived in the clouds during her engagement, has been as suddenly hurled to the ground on her marriage night, and who, bruised, and mangled in her soul, has fled from humanity in tears. "I am not the first woman who has been the victim of false modesty and excessive reserve, attributable, perhaps, to the hope that the deli cacy of a husband, combined with natural instincts, would arrange all for her, but who was told nothing by her mother." . Tr Emnress Francis Joseph Prin cess Louise attributes her later mis fortunes. She remarks with Ditter ness that-she has known the hatred .li,V1i nature cannot conceive, "the hatred of my son for his mother." Tsaf Was Magician. Concerning ex-Tsar Ferdinand of Bulearia. her brother-in-law, Prin cess Louise relates a strange story: "I have seen, I still see m htm, a kind of modern necromancer, a fin de siecle magician , . . rie must have been possessed by a power be yond this earth. But he did not be lieve in God; he believed in the devil ... . , "I asked myself to what fanatical sect, to what satanic brotherhood he belonged in his early days, doubtless with the idea of furthering his ambi tions and his extraordinary dreams of the future. "I remember that in our palace Sit Vienna Ferdinand would sometimes ask me to play for him when we were alone in the evening. He insisted upon the room being only dimly lit. He would then come to the piano and listen in silence. Would Strike Pose. "At midnight he would stand up solemnly, his features drawn, con tracted. He then looked at the clock, and listened to the first of the 12 strokes, and when they were nearing the end he would say: 'Play the march from "Aida."' "Then, withdrawing to the middle of the room he would strike a cere monial attitude, and repeat incom prehensible words which frightened me. "Ferdinand used to articulate caba listic formulas, stretching out his arms with his body bent and his head thrown backward. Among the mysterious phases a word which Lafayette We want you to take a ride in the LaFayette, because we know it will be a bette r advertisement than we can ever print LaFayette-Hayward Co.

I must have looked as pale as wax. Ferdinand's features took on a sinister expres sion. He, too, turned pale, and in a hoarse voice he threatened me, saying sneeringly: 'Take care, you will repent this, by 'kophte.'" The prince of Coburg and Prin cess Louise were often the guests of their relative. Queen Victoria. 1 John Brown Repulses Prince. Princess Louise, describing Queen Victoria's evening drives at Windsor and in the Isle of Wight, says: "Preceding the queen, a plaid on his arm, a flask of whisky swung over his shoulder, came John Brown, the faithful Scotsman, whose doings occupied such a prom inent position in the Court Circular i "He led the way, ensconced him self in the brake drawn by two gray horses and the drive which lasted about two( hours began. "Evven 'the queen's children ex perienced John Brown's autocracy. "It happened that the prince of Wales, afterward the great King Edward VII, once wanted to see his mother on urgent and unexpected business. But John Brown opened the door of the queen's room and said decisively:. 'You cannot see the queen, sir.' " sounded like koptor, koft or cophte was often repeated. One day I asked him to write it down. He traced let ters of which I could make nothing excepting that seemed to recognize some kind of Greek characters. VI Call the Devil and He Comes." "After these seances I questioned him, because while they were pro ceeding I had to be silent and play the march from 'Aida.' He invariably answered: 'The devil exists. I call on him and he conies.' "I did not believe this; I mean to say, I did not believe in the devil's actual visit, but I was nevertheless a little frightened, and when my brother-in-law once again began his incantations I would look round to see if there was anything extraor dinary in the room. But there was nothing unusual, excepting Fer dinand and my own curiosity and perhaps the unrevealed vision of both our futures." Later, at a dinner, Ferdinand said to Princess Louise: "You see every thing here. All is my kingdom. I lay it, myself included, at your feet." Again that evening he said, brusque ly: "It is the last time that I shall offer what I have offered. Do you understand?" "I shook my head and murmured Delegates After Naming of U. S. Diplomat to Vatican Not Contemplated Washington, May 2. Appoint ment of an American diplomatic rep resentative to the Vatican is not Tin der contemplation, said a statement issued today at the White House in response to repeated inquiries as to the possibility of such an appoint ment being made.
