Something new in King's Palaces. This was the summer home of King Nicholas of Montenegro before he was deposed and went on an indefinite vacation to Paris. It is nothing more than a vinecovered cottage and is located in a smalltown overlooking Lake Scutari. On the terrace, the King, holds his court. He ruled more like a country squire than a real king. People came to pass the time of day or present a grievance, which he would consider and render judgement on, his decision afterwards becoming a law in the country. In carrying on its relief work in Lontonogro, the American Red Cross has used the royal home as a distributing station, where the needy people may come to get American clothing, food, and medicines. King Nicholas still takes a great interest in his country and its welfare, and from Paris he has sent many messages of appreciation and congratulation to the Red Cross for its work
