...president, is more potent than his brethren. Last week he bustled busily over the Exchange. He is a small, thin man (hardly five feet tall) with a brown suit which he has worn so consistently that it is indelibly associated with him. Of German descent, he is an Orthodox Jew, and rarely visits the Exchange on Saturdays except when there is a very threatening bear market. The main plant is in Philadelphia; the New York office, at No. 16 Exchange Place, is small as to staff and scarce as to furniture. On the walls hang many photographs of family Blumenthal...

As a Karageorgevitch, however, Dictator-King Alexander can scarcely fail to see in this deed the hand of Divine (Greek Orthodox) Providence. So great indeed is his faith that, upon ascending the throne, he did not hesitate to make General Zivko vitch commander of the royal guard, a post which the general retains today. However, a new palace has been built, and Alexander Karageorgevitch does not sleep in the same royal...
