King of Serbia Died a Poor Man in Belgrade
A Belgrade obituary recalls King Peter of Serbia as a frugal ruler who died poor after a long illness. He sought his son Alexander’s presence during illness in Paris, admired the United States, and left only a trunk, bedstead, and memory as legacies. He died during the 1915 retreat to Corfu, amid Bolshevik turmoil. He favored simplicity, peasant soldiers as staff, and feared the number 13, predicting death for 1921 on a 13 tally.

United States to stay aloof, Harding tells premier
American ambassador George Marvey told the British prime minister Llwyd George that the United States would take no more active role in the prewar council talks. He said the U S position would be the same as at the council's last Paris meeting and would not press for submarine or other sensitive issues. If allies urge full participation in economic planning or the Gaza lions question, the U S would respond as an interested observer only.
