EX-RING FERDINAND. ALWAYS A POWERFUL AGENT
FOR GERMANY."
A diplomat, writing in the Evening; Standard of a recent date, saİS!
King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, is) Austrian by birth, Austrian by instinct, and Austrian by education, and in order to form any just estimate of the part be has played in European politics--par- ticularly in the prescut war--it is well to remember that thirty-one years' rule in Bulgaria has not made him a Bulga- rinn,
He was born in Vienna in 1861, and educated in Austrin, where he went. through a rigorous training in the Aus trian army, very much on the same lines, as that of King Constantine in Germany. He was brought up entirely among that Viennese aristocracy which is at the same time the oldest and the most narrow- minded in the world. Nowhere is more: attention paid to so-called social values than in Vinn; the barrier of class is insuperable; within this inner circle. there ne independence of thought or freedom of action; and it was from an
sphere singularly lacking
i the and more humane qualities that Ferdinand was called, in 1887, to be Prince of Bulgaria under the regency of Stambalov, the most remarkable man that Bulgaria has ever seen.
Then began a duel between the Prince and the Regent, outwardly on amicable terms, for the supreme control of Bul garia.
Stumboboy was a man of extra- ordinary strength, one might well say ferocity; he

But Ferdinand was equal to him. He met his strength with cunning. While he appeared to subunit he was quietly feel- ing his way, with a finger on the pulse of Bulgaria; and when he judged that. his bour had come he threw aside the mask and openly challenged the supre macy of Stambulov, who, after a drama. tie interview, was reduced to declare

It would not be true to say that from 'that date Ferdinand has maintained a complete astenikancy over the Bulgars. In spite of the adroit manner in which ho always contrived to play one party off against the other, his pro-Germanism is too well known, and his contempt of the Bulgarians themselves in tou flagraat, to make it possible for him, at any time,
to carry the whole country with him.
He has often said, "I sacrificed myself to civilise the Bulgar"; "and again, in one of his theatrical moments, "I am the lungs by which Bulgaria breaths. Hy
