infiexibIe attitude 81 opposition to the
American alliance has been the most
disagreeable feature of the entire mat
ter for Prince Luigi.
When be made bis first visit to
America the prince was in his twenty
second year. He had already climbed
the Matterhorn and was on cruise
around the world as a lieutenant on
board the warship CristofOro Colombo.
1t was on this cruise that he made up
his mind to climb to the summit of
Mount st. Elias, and In 1897 he re-
turned to the United States to put that
project into effect -Four days were
spent In the climb to the summit, but
1t was accomplished, and the young
italian was the first man to set foot
on that dazzling eminence OF $4,000
feet There were several Americans In
the princes party, but he saw to IL
that none Of them was his companion
at the last stage Of the ascent. He
wanted all the glory to belong to Italy
and succeeded In bis patriotic desire.
Luigi went home and for the next
two years devoted himself to the study
Of the north pole problem. BY the
summer Of 1899 his plans were per
fected. and he sailed with small par
ty from Christiania 1t was on this
trip that the prince was so badly fro
zen that he was obliged to suffer the
amputation of two fingers and was so
Ill that he could proceed no farther.
His courage did not desert him, how
ever, and he directed Captain Cagni.
his companion, to take part OF the
crew and proceed northward. Thus III
was that the scientific credit was be-
slowed on the prince, who directed the
advance from his sickbed.

STAINED by any other, he has at last
come face to face with a problem
which even his undaunted courage
seems powerless to solve. 1t Is be-
cause he has been so masterful In all
his undertakings, so intolerant of any
thing short Of the complete victory,
that the whole world Is asking: What
Is he going to do? How is this man,
who has done so much more than his
fellows, going to free himself from the
dominion which rank and tradition
have built about him like a never to
be surmounted wall? How is he to
transform the untitled daughter of an
American senator into a royal princess
of the house of Savoy? All the world
is asking how. No man has ever made
the attempt. Is Luigi Of Savoy the
cycle of amazing achievement with
this consummate social readjustment?
Recently an eminent Roman juris-
consult was asked by one Of the men,
bers of the royal Italian household for
his opinion as to the possibility OF
such an alliance. There is nothing In
the Italian law to prevent It," the great
legal authority replied.
Absolutely nothing?" the questioner
persisted.

and his son, the Prince of Piedmont,
and his cousins. the Duke of Aosta and

Luigi has gone through with some le-

public is asking the question framed

what the prince has done In work en-
titled "Ruwenzori," which tells how
in the spring and summer of 1906 he
went In search of the Mountains of
the Moon and found them.

always reused him to great wrath In

time his father was making his Ill

the Spanish grandezza were making 1t

they had elected their ruler by their
cruel ostracism of his beautiful young

was not Of the blood royal. At that
