PRINCESS RISKS ALLOWANCE
Income May he Taken Away from
Her for visit TO
Dresden.

DRESDEN. Dec. 23.-Countess Montig-
noso formerly the Crown Princess Louise
and divorced wife of King Frederick Au-
gustus. by coming TO Dresden and trying
TO see her children yesterday has probably
forfeited her allowance OF $500, one Of
the conditions Of which that she should not
set foot on German soil.
This condition, however. may not be en-
forced. as popular sympathy with the
countess Is % strong already that the
court will avoid anything giving the en-
press more punishment for her natural
womanly feeling The version of the
countess misadventure commonly believed
In the kingdom of Saxony is that she is
guiltless of actual wrongdoing and is the
victim OF an intrigue of the center party.
which is described as using INSCRIPTIONS
means TO prevent a strong liberal from
becoming queen. The circumstance of the
countess leaving the court are so overlaid
with fiction that the truth probably will
be unknown to the present generation OF
Saxons.
LEIPZIG, Saxony, Dec. 23.-Countess
Montignoso (former Crown Princess Louise)
is still here. Inquiries at the villa of DR..
Sehme, her counsel, brought an answer
from the attorneys wife that the countess
was not yet in a condition to travel. the
mental excitement Of the last few days hav-
ing told severely on her physical strength.
1t seems that the countess was overcome
by a sudden impulse to see her children and
left Florence without informing her parents
at Salseburg or anybody in Saxony DIT.
Sehme's first intimation Of her arrival was
when Countess Montgnosos visiting card
was handed in at the door of his villa. He
tried vainly to dissuade her from going to
Dresden, pointing out to the countess the
impossibility of seeing her children. but the
lawyer went with her when he saw further
arguing was useless. The countess was ac-
companied from Dresden to Leipzig by
Chief OF Police Dresdham. who was met al
the railroad station here by high police
official of Leipzig. The countess made the
impression on the crowds at the station
that she was suffering from deep despond-
ency.

SECOND STAGE is REACHED
Movement started Toward FormuIa-
ting Program for the second
Hague Conference

WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-That the fur
ther interchange OF views preparatory to
the formulating of a program for another
peace conference at The Hague be effected
through the international bureau under the
control of the permanent administrative
council of The Hague" is the suggestion
offered by Secretary Hay in second cir
cular note to the powers made public at
the State department today. The note
was dispatched a week ago, but its pub
lication was held until II had reached the
various American embassies and legations
abroad. The secretary summarizes the re-
plies of all the powers TO his note OF Oc-
tober q and expresses the qualification OF
the president at the cordial reception OF
his invitation. Having taken this initial
step, however, the secretary says. the
president feels that he has gone as far
as he appropriately can. and that with the
general acceptance OF his invitation in prin-
ciple, the future conduct OF the affair may
htly follow its normal channels.
Regarding the conditional acceptance OF
Russia, Secretary Hay says that while
the postponement which this reply ne
eessitates is to be regretted, this govern
ment recognizes the weight OF the motive
which induced IL.
