BRITISH HEIR TO
WE'D, IS REPORT
Said He Will Marry Princess
Jolande of Italy
Soon

PARIS. June THAT Prince I'd.
ward. OF Wales. heir apparent to the
British throne, Is to marry Princess
Jolands. the oldest daughter of King
Victor Emmanuel. OF Italy, and a
girl Of rare beauty, was the report
received here today from Rome. 1t
il runored announcement OF the en-
gaEement is imminent.
The 22-year-old prince Of Wales
visited Rome few weeks ago and
then made trip to the Italian front.
where he was the guest Of King VIC
tor Emmanuel. After his return the
king is said 10 have summoned the
princess, with the queen, to army
headquarters to extend his congratu-
lations. II was while returning from
this visit that the queen and
Princess Jolanda narrowly escaped
death when Austrian aviators attack
ed their train.
The Princess Jolanda celebrated
her fifteenth birthday today. She
is said to be extremely popular with
the Italian people. Interest here in
the reported engagement centers in
the fact that the bonds OF friendship
between two Of the Allies would be
materially strengthened by the mar
riage.
