Waited a Years in Vain to
Wed; Wants $4,000 Balm

Way back in October, 1911, Andrea
Kovachek asked pretty Ami Skojic to
marry him. That was In their native
town of Hebinami, Austria. Andrea,
a little later came to America and
sent for his bride-to-be. The under
standing then, according to Ami, was
that she was to wed Andrea as soon as
she reached this country. To date,
however, Andrea has never kept his
promise TO wed her, she contends,
Notwithstanding the fact that she is
willing and eager to marry him.
So she's tired waiting now. And
to-day, through her attorney, Robert
Sucker, she began an action for
breach of promise against Andrea.
She wants $4,000 heart balm.

Latest American Note
Delivered in Berlin
By Associated Press

Washington, July 23.-with the de-
livery to-day by Ambassador Gerard
to the Foreign Office in Berlin of the
new American note warning Germany
that the loss of American lives through
further violations of the neutral
rights would be regarded as "unfriend-
ly," the United States rests its case for
the present at least. The note will be-
given out here late to-day for public
tion tomorrow morning.
Officials of the Washington govern
ment turned expectantly toward Ber-
lin for some indication from official
quarters there as to the reception of
the communication. Until such infor-
nation is at hand the next diplomatic
move of the United States will not be
decided.

FURTHER RESTRAINT

Progress
BY Associated Press

New York. July 2S.-Further re-
straint was shown by the war shares
at the opening of to-day's market
although overnight gains of 1 to 2
points in that group were more or less
general. Dealings were in relatively
small volume, however, with an alb
sence of the extensive overturns of
recent sessions. In point of fact, the
movement in the railways was more
interesting and significant. st. Paul
declined l Y to 78, its minimum quo
tation since 1898. Missouri Pacific at
q made new low record and the
Harrimans and Canadian Pacific con-
tinued under pressure. Baltimore and
Ohio made further upward progress
as a result of its very favorable June
earnings.

The day of the high class and bril-
liant sweater and the snappy sport
coat is with US. Racing meets and
other assemblages of people who are
in position to make the styles into
fashions reveal the bright-hued sweat
er and sport coat, worn with more
than complacency, especially by the
younger people. Over thin white
dressed and with white sport hats and
white footwear there Is a crispness
and fitness to the occasion in such ap-
parel that makes an instant appeal to
the younger set.
! New conditions bring about new cos
tuning for occasions where formerly
only strictly dressy toilettes were in
vogue. The sweater and the sport coat
are at home in the automobile, and the
only kind of millinery that will with
stand the speed of the open car is that
designed for 1t, hence the sport hat
and the auto bonnet.
! But the brilliance of color in these
comfortable outer garments makes as
gay an assemblage as ever gathered in
glad raiment in days gone by. Cerise
and gold, lacquer red and royal blue.

Constantine
OF GREEK NATION
Son George, Like Father, Was
Educated In Germany and
Lacked Hold on His
People.


the Russian army, and was determined
on quitting Greece forever. But in 1911
the national legislature by an over
whelming vote restored him to his for
mer post as inspector general of the
Greek army. Then came the Balkan
war and Constantine soon became the
hero of his people.
He brought the Greek army to a
state of high efficiency and led it to
many victories, not the least Uf which
were those at Saloniki and Janina.
Several New Workers headed the COM
mittee which presented him with q
jeweled sword as memento of these
achievements.
Complete accord has not always ruled
in the domestic affairs of Constantine.
While there was no whisper of scan
dal, he and Sophia lived apart for a
time and there seemed little prospect
of a reconciliation until after the vic
tories in the Balkans.
Curiously enough, there Is very old
Greek tradition which says that when
a royal Constantine weds a Princess
Sophia their son shall reign in Con-
stantinople and revive the ancient By
zantine empire.
George of Greece is the eldest son
of Constantine and Sophia. He was
born July I, 1890, and is not married.
His engagement to the beautiful Prin-
cess Elizabeth, eldest daughter of King
Ferdinand of Roumania, was announc-
ed two years ago, subsequently denied
and then later reannounced. Early in
the present year it was stated that the
wedding bad been scheduled for the
spring, but postponed on account of
the war.
Like his father, George received his
education and military training in Ger
many under the care of his uncle, the
kaiser. Because of this there have
been reports from time to time that the
Greeks looked with more favor on
Prince Nicholas, brother of Constan-
tine.
George has two brothers and two
sisters. Prince Alexander, born In
1893; Princess Helene, born In 1895;
Prince Paul, born in 1901, and Prin-
cess Irene, born In 1904.
Prince Nicholas commanded the
Greek artillery in the Balkan wars.
He received his military education in
France. His wife is the Grand Ouch
ess Helene Of Russia, daughter of the
late Grand Duke Vladimir. Thus In
stead of the influence of Dowager
Queen Olga being minimized in his
case, as in that of King Constantine,
by a German wife, the influence Of
Princess Helene is all exercised against
the German tendency Of the family.
King Ferdinand of Roumania, father
Of Princess Elizabeth, Is a Hohenzol-
lern, while the princess mother Is
Princess Mary of Great Britain and
Ireland.
