other Americans not as rich as their
leaders are living far byond their means

Since the Reds inaugurated costly fes-
tivities in Anglo-American circles, there
have been certain young couples who

Paris, May 14-(Special) 1.-The suicide
of a republican guard and young wo-
man who had chosen to share his fate
has added another chapter to the tragic
annals of the 'liasons fataes.'' The
guard came of good provincial family
of peasants, was 26 years old. had a
handsome, military appearance, and con-
quered feminine admiration wherever he
turned. Sometimes he got SO embroiled
in his love affairs that his chiefs, who
got to know of it had to give him pater-
nal advice, spiced now and then with a
few days of military arrest. Nothing
cured him, however, and his last diff
cult situation arose from the fact that
he was in love with young married
woman and with the sweetheart of one
of his friends. The inevitable happened,

EMANUEL WILL
VISIT RUSSIA

Rome, May 14.-(Special)-Kin Victor
Emmanuel intends to pay state visit
to Russia during the summer. The date
has not been definitely fixed yet, but

with Russia rather than Austria despite
her membership In the triple alliance. 1t
Is not unlikely that the whole Balkan

when King Victor meets the car.

Is said to be the determined opposition
of Cardinal Merry del Val and his fac

bitterly opposed to all things American. 1
AM told that he strenuously objects to
any further honors being conferred on
the American church. on the ground that
already there is a too evident DISPOSE

to assist independence along certain lines.
and If other American cardinals are APP
pointed at this time. he fears this sport
of independence will be fostered
1t may be that the opposition to Merry
del Val will prevail and the two red
hats will not go to American, but the
present feeling is that he will be overruled.

share his secretarys distrust of Ameri-
