ment had been current for years, and
after the var with Japan they increased

PRINCESS DE SAGAN
MAY SEEK A DIVORCE
Reported That Brief Honeymoon of Former Counties
De Casteane Has Proven Disastrous and
Steps Have Been Taken for Separation.

The honeymoon, which it is now said
was spent in CantaI, in that part OF
France where the princess spent her
hrst honeymoon, when she was the
countess de Castellaue.
After the honeymoon, the Sagans re-
turned 90 Paris. but they did not re-
main there long. They have been seen
frequently in London, and the princess
has made "a ruuber of rev friends. It
is TO these that she has confded the
secret that she wants q sepa ration from
her prince after a five months trial.
If the promised suit for divorce should
follow the appeal for a separation. the
grounds on which the suit would be
brought are a matter for considerable
speculation.
A part Of smart London hears that
such a suit might develop sensational
details. but friends Of the princess de-
clare that any suit would be prosecuted
with the utmost secrecy and attempt
to escape publicity.

Though the foreign oihca today has
exeltad every possible effort either TO

The establishment of this regime is
undoubtedly the work OF the DoWager

will permit her to continue as virtual
