TITO.
That the wives OF the bolligerent |
countries ambassadors feel their en-
strangement which has crushed be- |
meath the iron hand of international |
onmity those tender ties of the indl-
vidual, is known TO all the friends OF
these crstwhile companions
The fact that the Princess is an
Italian, adds to the unhappy situation
of this return home. For Princess
Won Bulow was the Princess Campor-
Gale, stepdaughter through her moth
er's second marriage, of the famous
Marco Manghetti. And the real home
of the Won Bulows since the retire
ment of the Prince as German Imper-
ial Chancellor has been at Rome. i'm
the historic Villa Malta where Kings
have lived and where i'm the eigh-
teenth century, the notorious Galgios-
trO. i'm the midst of wealth and lux
ury performed his charlatan fcats of
necromacy. The Villa Malta. called
the Villa of Roses because of the gor-
geOus and exquisite riot of roses which
cover the walls along the Via Porta
Pinciana, has been the scene Of many
brilliant diplomatic receptions:
where the Sicilian Princess. wife of
the German Prince. has been one of
the most gracious hOstesses in all
Rome.
Now the personal joy Of sincere
friendship has been removed from
whatever diplomatic functions over
which the Princess will preside. For
the absence of Lady Rodd of Madame
Barrere, of Madame Krupinski has
left deep wound i'm Princess Won
Bulow's cordial and sympathetic ma
ture
The only ambassadors homd in
which the Princess may visit at pres
ent is that of the American Ambassy.
Indeed the Princess already has been
to call upon Mrs. Thomas Nelson
/ Page and Mrs. Page returned the call
1 the next day. For with the japanese,
/ the Spanish. the Austrian Embassies
presided over by solitary men (the
wife of the Austrian Ambassador is
an invalid i'm Vienna) the Princess
/ Won Bulow herself is quite alone in
/ these days when the war has severed
/ personalities.
Almost the first call made by Prince
/ Won Bulow after his official call upon
I the King of Italy was upon the wife Of
! the American Ambassador. And TO
/ Mrs Page this great man of Ger
/ many talked OF the sadness which this
war has brought into the lives of old
! time friends.
Nor has the prince been reticent
about expressing his sorrow to them
about these severed social relations.
The other day a meeting between Sir
Rennell ROdd. and Prince Won Bulow
took place in the Ministry of Foreign
Anaires in the presence of Amhassa-
dor Page. Both men. representatives
of two bitter national enemies. old
time friends and good friends looked
at each other but they did not sneak
Sir Rennoll Rodd confessed after
wards his desire to take Won Bulow
by the hand as in old days but he
was afraid. And so was Won Bulow
afraid of you" commented Ambassa.
dor Page who has watched the tive
old friends depart as strangers
This war is not a war amonl
friends-it is worse it is war among
brothers"
So many things have been predicted
of the coming of Won Bulow that il I.

That the anti-English sentiment
