country was the news of the death of
Humbert received with greater SYM
pathy and horror than in Great Brit
ain. For the past few years there
has been an undertaking friendship
between these rulers, even when the
rest of Europe was inveighing against
England and it's policy. These diplo-
mats and officials lave visited the
italian embassy in great numbers to-
day. The Prince of Wales was an
early caller and expressed his keen re-
gret at the loss of personal friend.
Not the slightest detail of the catas-
trophc is allowed to be sent outside
the town where it occurred, beyond
the bare fact of the assassination.
