the allowances and salaries of tne members of the ruling
family were reduced and he appears to have been the only

1926 he has confined his official activities to being
present on ceremonial occasions^ He has been in
indifferent health for some years. He is suffering from
an advanced condition of vinereal disease and his speech
and mind have now become affected. During the last few
