possibly II the national armies bad beel
victorious over those Of France. On tn
other hand Frenchmen suffered - n1ucl
perturbation because Of the fact that th
Count Of Turin won a. II another alice 0
territory was lost to the republic.
1t II suggested that tho criticisms mad
Iby Prince Henri upon tho italian arm,
were made with reference to q reputation
and prestige At home that would pit hin
In the limo Of succession to the throne.
There may be something in this idea
but II is more likely that he made his at
tack upon the italians without suggcstiot
and actrated only by desire to attract at.
tentlon to himself and to tho proprietor
OF certain newspapers who had loaned him
certain sums OF money.
The fact In the Frenchman has come oui
Of the entire affair with colors trailing and
italy js on top. Tho French prince Is
heavily in debt, his liabilities aggregatlng
100000, 1t is said, and his family, al
though Immensely wealthy, have refused
to liqlhdatc his obligations. His creditors
were pressing their claims and II was i'm
| perative for him to do something to ac-
qulrc reputation for something else than
| gallantry TO women and ability to spend
| other peoples money. Whether he has
succeeded in his aims remains to be seen,
but II would DO an unscntimcntal creditor
| indeed who should demand ilis pound OF
flesh at time when the prince is more or
less indsposed from n sword scratch re-
ceiyed in an affaire d'honncur with rep
resentative OF rival nation, which. In
spite Of It's blood affinity and perhaps be-
cause Of II. Is not popular with France.
