This Would Be
A Thrillingly
Enviable Fate

ROME, via Paris, May 24.-0l;lO
p. mD-The poet D'AnnunziO's ann
bitions to view a naval engagement
from an Italian warship may go un-
rewarded. He has had long inter
views with the ministers of war and
marine, but it is doubtful whether
even the influence of the poet Is suf-
ficicnt so far to relax the stern rules
of naval discipline as to admit his
presence.
The poet says the happiest hour of
his life would come if he could die
singing the glories of his fatherland.
This, he declares, would be thrill
ingly enviable fate.
