DUCHESS is
VICTIM OF
PHTHLSLS
DUCHESS D'AosTA NEARDEATH
AT CAIRO
Mental Agony Suffered During Recent
Troubles with Husband Aids
Disease and Life Is Flick
ering Out

ROME, Jan. 25.-On all sides and in
all circles of society, whether high or
low, there is being expressed intense in
terest in the tragedy of the Duchess
d'Aosta 1t is said by those who are
presumed to be informed on the subject
that the life of this woman is gradually
Pickering out, and that her death will
prove to be more or less directly re-
sponsib's to the domestic troubles she
has experienced. 1t is said that she
mas now developed tuberculosis, and
the ravages of the disease, together
with the mental agony she suffers,
will, in the very near future, prove ia
tai. All italy is in sympathy with
this noble woman, who mas an immense
hold on the affections of people of all
classes.
The duchess is now at Cairo, and ac-
cording to reports is as well as can be
expected Even the efforts of Queen
Alexandra to effect a reconciliation be-
tween the duke and his wife failed, as
everyone knew il would after the offices
of the king proved Ineffective.
During their last trip the king and
queen of England put in at Naples, and
made a longer stay than they had in
tended 1t is said that Alexandra was
then trying to effect reconciliation.
1t was a thankless task she shouldered,
however, as the duke seems callous to
all reason.
The affection of the duchess for her
husband. it will be remembered, was
wounded by stories published in Social
sta, which dealt with the intrigues OF
her husband. She went to the king
and pleaded for separation. He coun.
seled delay, but said that if she still
insisted on it he would grant her wish,
although he wished to avoid a scandal.
He lectured the duke, but his efforts
seem TO have proved inefficacious.

HARVARD PROFESSOR
LAUDS UPPER GLASS;;
DENOUNCES LABORERS
Says Social and Financial Leaders Of
Present Are Superiors of Those
They Have Sur
passed
NY Associated Press.

NY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, JAM 25.-"The upper
classes are absolutely the superiors of
the people they have surpassed, and
one is disposed to say that God made
the reason"
This was one of many tartling state
ments made by Barrett Wendell, pro-
fessor of English at Harvard univer-
sity, to the members of the Twentieth
Century club last night in lecture on
"The Privileged Classes"
The professor declared that the tyrant
privileged classes" of this country are
not the upper classes, as they W ie
under the "old regime" but the "des-
potic leboring classes"
"As wealth and fashion have grown
during the last thirty years in this
country" he said, there has grown
also a feeling of resentment and critic
ism which has found it's expression in
the utterances of public men in the
public prints, and, above all. in the
comic papers and the street cars.
"The cry which once reused this
country was taxation without repre-
sentation' The privileged laboring
class of today demands representation
without taxation.
"They are now trying to drag us into
a war with Japan In order to safeguard
their own selfish interests. If it were
not for the behavior of the labor unions
on the Pacific coast in excluding Asiatic
laborers the feet would never have had
to be sent around Cape Horn.
"The difference between the upper
and lower classes is that the uppe.
classes are those who have exhibited
the highest degree of ability, worth and
character. Anywhere in the world the
upper classes are the cream of society.
Those who by reason of sloth, de-
generacy, drunkenness or incompetence
do not deserve to maintain themselves
in the unprivileged upper classes sink
to the privileged lower classes where
they belong"
