Count Dying, a Suicide,
Forgives Divorced Wife
Brooding Over Separation, He
Returns to Family's Neapoli-
tan Palace and Shoots Self
.Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc
MILAN, Italy, March 11.-Count Alva-
rez de Toledo, who came from one of
the noble families of Naples, commit
ted suicide to-day in the historical
family palace in that city. In 1905 he
married the Countess Erminia Tore di
Santa Susanna, and they had two sons.
Two years ago the count and his wife
separated, and both went to Fiume,
where they got a divorce. This latter
was legally recognized in Italy, where
divorce laws DO not exist.
The count felt the separation keenly,
and revlsiting the old family home in
Naples, where his father and mother
still reside, he finally shot himself to
end his brooding misery. The bullet
lodged near the heart.
Although he lived for several hours
after the shooting, his only words were,
"Erminia, you have made me suffer-"
The divorced countess, hearing of the
tragedy, hurried to the hospital where
the dying man was. Holding out his
hand to her, he said: "Erminia, you
knew | still loved you. But | forgive
you and recommend you to my SON."
The tragic circumstances surround
ing the death and the final reconcile
alton have caused profound impress
sion IN Neapolitan society.

DuESSELDORF, Germany. March II.
The Allied armies have settled down
for long stay in this newly occupied
part of Germany. The district under
General Degoutte's control has been
extended beyond the three cities first
occupied until now the Allied troops
are in Spelbach and Schmul on the
right, and on tho north have seized
Walsun and Hamborn, as we'll as the
district along the Walsun canal. Ober-
hausen tonight also has come under
Allied rule.
The Tribune correspondent has
motored throughout the occupied zone
and has found not the slightest sign
Of opposition to the Allied INVASION
French and British and Belgian troops
are now at the gates Of Essen-less
than five miles from that home of the
krupp works-and are astride the
lower reaches of the Ruhr River that
passes through the famous coal fields
The bridges where the Ruhr flows
into the Rhine are closely guarded
All vehicles and pedestrians there are
kept en- the move by the Allied patrols
and the great rolls of barbed wire
stacked at the ends Of the bridges de-
note the preparation of the Entente
armies for all eventualities.
There is tendency to leave the Bel
glans in complete control in Dusburg
and to the northward, while the French
concentrate on Duessel ldorf. General
Beaurain. commanding the Belgian
forces in the north, says the Allied
troops are exhibiting their solidarity.
Although no instructions have come
from London for setting up the pro-
posed customs barrier, General Beau
rain asserts that the intention is not
to place the barrier along the Rhine,
but along the eastern side of the occu-
pied area, which extends in several
places some distance east of the river.
TO all intents and purposes, therefore.
the Allicd-controlled territory on the
east bank will be annexed by the spe-
clal government which is to rule The
provinces on the left bank Of the
Rhine.

BERLIN, March 11.-Tne Kolnische
Zeitung is not pleased with the pros
pect Of the withdrawal of American
troops from the Rhine. Although the
newspaper admits that the evacuation
of the United States forces would
bring sharp reduction in the costs
of the occupation, it asserts that the
peop e Of the Rhineland desire that
the Americans stay as long as there
are Allied troops in Germany
The paper says that what Germans
most desire is that the victorious En-
tente nations get a purely objective
view Of German affairs without the
coloring of passion. 1t praises Pierre
pont Noyes, United States member of
the Rhine Commission, for maintain-
ing TN attitude of impartial objec-
tivity, showing that Americans are
able to view German and European af-
fairs from a higher point of view and
obtain more just impression Of the
situation than can those who are deep
in the maelstrom

troops. to remain in order to counter

asserts Success of the Present
ReUolt Depends Largely on
Outside Non Interference

LONDON, March II (By The Associ
ated ss).-Russia to-day is in the
beginning of phases of upheaval which
will have essentially the same result
as the memorable occurrence of March
II, 1917, said Alexander F. Kerenskv.
Russla's former imam of DESTINY" to-
day.
THE fundamental causes of the out
breaks in Russia Kerensky declared,
"are the same as those which brought t
about the first revolution just four
years ago, and the outcome inevitably
Will be the same-the overthrow Of
the dictatorship.
10 the Russian working masses and
the peasantry,' Kerensky continued,
"Czarism and Bolshevism are indis-
tlnghisha ble-both Of them are terrors
which must be ended.
"The Lenine and Trotzky regime de-
pends entirely on bayonets for it's
maintenance, With the aid Of their
Lettish, Chinese and Tartar mercen-
aries the Soviet may be able to sup
press the present rising, but it will be
only postponement of their fall, for
the Russian hordes arc tired of the
Bolshevist experiment.
"The Soviet claims that the present
risings are due to Allied intrigue are
entirely unfounded. Allied aid to the
anti-Soviet forces ended with the col
lapse of General Wrangel, the COM
mandcr in southern Russia The sue
cess Of the present movement depends
largely on non-interferencc from the
outside world. Russia must be left
alone.
"Hatred of the Bolshevik regime has
been smoldcring for months, but Rus
sit mas been suspicious Of the ultimate
aims OF foreign governments. There
fore various frontier campaigns spon-
sored by the Allies failed, and in doing
so they paralyzed the risings from
within. Russia has been left alone for
while and we see the result. 1t is
the beginning of the end.
"Cronstadt and Reval furnish means
for wireless communication through
which the workers should be told that
it is not the Allies who are enforcing
an economic blockade OF their country
but their own leaders. America would
render humanity a service if it under
took TO do this.
Russia is starving, and if she is not
relieved Lenine and Trotzky may per-
petuase their tenure of office. But
when Russia is able to express herself
there will beno more Bolshevism."
Kerensky characterized the reported
concessions in eastern Russia to Wash
ington B. Vanderlip as "a gigantic
bluff on both sides" He said that if

LONDON. March 11.-Leonid Kras-
sin. Bolshevik trade envoy, who, on his
return from Moscow recently, brought
with him authority to sign the pro-
posed commercial treaty between Great
Britain and the Reds, conferred again
to-day with Sir Robert Stevenson
Horne, president of the Board of Trade.
krassin pressed the British minister
to agree to the inclusion of a clause in
the treaty allowing the Bolsheviki to
continue their propaganda. Sir Robert
argued that this was a political ques-
tlon that he was not competent to de-
eide and which would have to be re-
ferred to the Cabinet.
The opinion prevails that if Krassin
Will give up his contention for this
propaganda clause the chances Of the
conclusion of the agreement soon are
Increasingly bright.
krassn also discussed with Sir Rob-
ert the decision of jurists that the Rus
sian gold here could not be attached

property of a government which was
getting de facto recognition under the
treaty it would be immune to seizure.

One common question is whether, if

come back. 1t is understood that ab-

provinces is not contemplated.
The Allies are showing much consd-

commander in Dusseldorf, placed
