Belgrade Vindicated

At a ball in the U. S. Legation at Belgrade, H. R. H. Princess Olga, cousin of Dictator King Alexander, suddenly discovered that her gold-mesh, diamond-studded handbag had disappeared. . . .

While inspecting the Citadel of Belgrade, H. R. H. Princess Chichibu of Japan found herself minus a costly, antique jeweled collar. . . .

Next day the Chief of Police said: "I feel that Belgrade's reputation for honesty has been sustained. Within a few hours after her loss I had the pleasure of restoring to Princess Chichibu her jeweled collar. A local Belgrade photographer found it in the gutter and at once turned it in at our Central Police Station. As to the loss which Princess Olga sustained in the American Legation we are working on the theory that a kleptomaniac was to blame. The people of Belgrade are fundamentally honest."

Just prior to the War, Kaiser Wilhelm II alluded to "Belgrade, that nest of assassins."
