KIng Peter to abdicate

May 19, 1913

The New York Times reports that King Peter of Serbia will soon abdicate, owing to his bad health. The abdication will take place "as soon as peace with Turkey is signed."
A suitable residence for the king is now being sought, and he has prepared his son for taking over as king. King Peter's health "has largely broken down as a result of the exertions and and anxieties of the war." The king will celebrate his 69th birthday on June 29.
