Speed-Fiend Nicholas

In Rumania one may refer to Prince Nicholas, weak-chinned younger son of Dowager Queen Marie, as a? "bully, scandal monger and speed-fiend," but it will cost one just four months in jail. Some weeks ago Speed-Fiend Nicholas crashed into a taxicab and in pettish rage" kicked the chauffeur severely under the stomach so that the unfortunate man had to be rushed to the city hospital. One Mircea Damian wrote to the local newspapers in protest, not only calling Prince Nicholas bully, scandal monger and speed-fiend, but adding:

"I propose to ask the Government to supply the Prince with a tank in which he can drive pellmell through the streets and so destroy all automobiles, bakers' carts, the officers' casino, the academy, the athenaeum, the university, and all state and private institutions, and kill every traffic policeman who tries to stop him."

Last week Mircea Damian, author, began serving his four-month sentence.
