TITLED RED CROSS
NURSE HAS VANISHED

BOSTON, Aug. 26.-Pnncess Ma
dejda Troubetzkoy has vanished.
Lawyers seeking her in connec-
tion with divorce proceedings have
been unable to locate her.
Meanwhile two husbands are seek
ing their freedom.
One is an Enoch Arden-a man
whom the princess thought killed m
France.
Thus another chapter of bad luck
mars the career Of the princess in
the United States. The first chapter
was written last year when the legal
ity Of her title was attacked.
The princess, on her arrival in the
United States, went to washington.
There she lived in a regal suite in
the Hotel Willard, surrounded by a
royal retinue. and attended nursing
classes at Garfield Memorial hos
pital.
Identity Discovered.
Although she was registered in
cOgnito at the hospital, rumors IS
TO her relationship TO the old Rus
sian nobility soon spread. For a
time she refused TO be interviewed,
stating that she was devoting her
entire career TO the Russian Red
Cross. and was merely studying to
1T herself for her life's work.
But-"She is not a princess" de-
clared W. w. Bouimistrow. special
commissioner Of the Russian Red
Cross in this country. There are
Princes Troubetzkoy in Russia, but
this lady is not related to them.
Moreover, she has no right TO wear
/ the uniform OF the Russian Red
Cross, as this may BE worn only on
duty"
Princess Replies.
This brought a heated retort from
the princess. She said:
She is a cousin Of Prince Pierre
Trou betzkoy, husband of Amelie
Rives.
She was born in Moscow and edu-

Guests at DInner-Harding Proves
That He viii Not Be an
"Autocrat."

Washington. Opinions about the
tasks Of the coming special session Of
Congress- were exchanged between
President Harding and the ranking
leaders Of his party in the Senate and
House at a White House dinner in
augurating the new chief executives
policy OF consultation among public Of.
ficials.
A score Of senators and representa-
tives, including chairmen of the com.
mittees which are expected to have
most to do in the special session, were
in the group invited to the dinner. 1t
was understood that the principal
subjects on which Mr.. Harding sought
comparison Of views we're the tariff
and taxation programme, the ques-
tion of a peace resolutions disarma-
ment and the date for which the ses-
sion should be called.
The president is expected to discuss
most Of these problems with his cab
met at its meeting. The call for as
sembling the executives official circle
Of advisers was issued from the White
House, Vice-President Coolidge being
included among those invited. Mr.,
Coolidge said he would be present,
having decided he should not let prec-
edent outweigh the urgent request of
the president.
Although the legislative policies Of
the administration are expected to
have large part in the first round
table discussion Of the Harding cabi-
net, the situation with respect to
Panama and Costa RIGA and many
subjects Of preliminary organization
in the various departments also viii
come in for consideration. The presi-
dent has seen each Of his secretaries
individually at least once since inau-
guraton, but he feels that a general
discussion among them will do much
toward perfecting his administrative
machine.

Washington. Publication of the
fact that the dispatch of identic notes
to Panama and Costa RIGA, demand
ing cessation of hostilities, caused
some disturbance in administration
circles and drew from Secretary
Hughes an announcement of his pol
icy with respect to making public in
formation regarding diplomatic COM
munications.
The publication was understood to
have been subject of discussion be-
tween Mr.. Hughes and President
Harding at the White House and also
was discussed at conferences Mr..
Hughes had with high officers of his
department. It was after these con
ferences that Mr.. Hughes outlined his
policies to the newspaper correspond
ents.
The secretary said he did not want
statements made in the press regard
ing activities Of the department which
we're not given out officially and
added that nothing must be publish
ed unless given out by him or other
high officials. Referring specifically
to the notes for foreign governments,
the secretary said he did not want
the newspapers 10 publish as facts re-
ports of diplomatic exchanges which
had not been officially announced.
These should not, be given out, he
said, until after sufficient time had
elapsed for them to be received and
given consideration by the govern
ments to which addressed.
While not denying that the notes
had been sent to Panama and Costa
Rica Mr.. Hughes said announcement
of their dispatch had been made by

New Secretary Of Treasury lssues
First Letter 70 Publio-Reviews
Payments Government
Must Meet.

Washington. Secretary Mellon Of
the treasury, in his first official state
ment, appealed to the people gen
orally" to stand for rigid economy in
governmental expenditures and urged
the immediate establishment OF a MAJ
tional budget system.
The new treasury secretary in his
letter discussed at length the nations
financial condition, declaring that the
showing made in the last eight
months had been particularly en-
couraging." There are, however, heavy
drains to come on the treasury this
month and next, he said, and these
require the flotation of more short
term certificates OF Indebtedness, an
nouncement Of which he made coinei-
dent with the letter to the bankers
THE nation cannot afford extraya-
gance," Mr.. Mellon asserted, 4and so
far as possible it must avoid entering
new fields of expenditures. Figures
on current operations oil the govern
ment show that the country's finances
are sound, but that the situation calls
for the utmost economy.
The heavy requirements Of the gov
eminent on account of necessary ex-
penditures, including interest and
sinking fund on the public debt, and
the maturity Of $7,500,OO0,000 in short
dated debt in the next two years or
whereabouts make it imperative that
the, greatest care and economy be ex-
ercised in matters affecting govern.
ment expenditures,
'The people generally must become
more interested in saving the govern
ments money than in spending it. "A
thoroughgoing national budget sys-
tenn must be established and the gov
ernment's expenses brought into re.
lation to its income"
Progress lin the war debt must
necessarily be slow, he said, explain
ing that the heavy payments to the
railroads would seriously hamper pre-
vious plans to lower the debt.
The issues of certificates announced
will aggregate s4O0,OOO,oOO, and will
bear interest at 511s per cent, one-half
having maturity date of one year
and the remainder for six months.
Both issues will be accepted in pay
ment of income and profits taxes.
