MADRID, May liking Alfonso and
Premier TOGO have conferred with re-
gard TO Prince Alfonso OF Orleans, who

Of the war but returned recently to
Madrid with the intention OF resuming
his duties as a captain OF infantry. II
was determined at the conference that

OF Prince Alfonso. ecovers from her

Switzerland.
Just what is behind the decision OF
the King and premier with regard TO
Alfonso OF Orleans, who Ia an infante
Of Spain, and his wife is not apparent.
The only reference in the news dis
patches concerning the prince recently
was last May when he was reported
to have been seriously injured while
skiing near Lake Lucerne in Switzer-
land, Alfonso is 80 Years old and a
son Of Prince Antoine OF Bourbon Or
leans, duke Of Gailiera.
A dispatch from Madrid last Tuesday
said hat with the return OF the king
from his trip to England and France
IL was expected that he and Premier
Toca would solve the situation re-
garding the infante Antonio Of Orleans,
who was reported to have quit Madrid

tied Italy In order to protect his great
landed interests. although he was un.
