OPPOSE MISS ELkINs' WEDDING
italian Newspapers Are Against Mar
riage to the Duke of the
Ahruzzi.

London, April 1.-The Rome Core
spondent Of the Globe says the italian
newspapers have initiated a violent
campaign against the proposed mar
riage between the duke of the Abruzzi
and Miss Elkins.
This change of attitude is due to
the extravagances of American jour.
nalism, against which a stream of in
dignation Is poured out daily. Even
the Elkins family is not spared.
Newspapers are taking the ground
that they should have taken steps to
shield the duke. The Globes CORE
spondent learns that provisional ar
rangements for the marriage have been
altered, owing to the kings wish that
it should be celebrated in Hairy. II
would be absolutely private and the
press would be excluded.
