PARIS. April 29.-Prince Danilo OF
Montenegro, once a dashing figure
who was written into a popular
American comic opera. has been prac-
ticslly barred from Italy by King
Victor Emmanuel. his brother-in-lsw.
according to word reaching here from
Rome. .
Though Dani1o celebrates his fif-
tieth birthday in few months. ne
still carries all his youthful dash and
love for gay times. That's what the
King of Italy objects to and he wants
the prince to stay out OF Italy until
he gets old enough to settle down.
Pince Danilo was twenty-five and
extremely good looking when his sis
ter, the Princess Helene, married the
present ruler of Italy. He loved a
&C cd time and always had II, whether
in Paris, at Monte Carlo or one OF
the other resorts OF the French and
Italian Riviera.

When he visited Rome DaniIo was
received with all the honors due the
brother Of the queen. But when court
affairs in his honor were all over
slipped away to haunts of his own
with friends of his own choice. and
these little parties annoyed both the
King and Queen Helene.
The Kings temper scared sky .
ward when he learned of series of
exploits that became the laughing
stock of Rome. Prince Danilo, so the
story went, would gather several OF
his friends, spend big night" in
an Italian place of. amusement and
when the bill was presented wave II

Don't bother me with that-take
It up to the palace to my brother-in-

Prince baniI moved across the
Italian frontier to the French Ri
viera when the King voiced his dis
pleasure, but he kept in touch with
things in Italy. HIS royal brother
in-law wanted to keep in touch with
his movements and sent an italian
secret service agent to watch him
But Danilo's ways were so captivat-
ing that he won over the Kings
spy" made bosom companion OF
him and even borrowed some of the
expense money furnished by Victor
Emmanuel.
That wasn't all. The prince sud-
denly decided to go into business,
making a speciality OF choice Italian
wines and tidbits that struck the
fancy of French gourmands. The
Italian customs authorities heard
about this, and after several month
investigation are said to have dis
covered that goods on whose ex-
port an embargo had been placed

of tho princes company In France
Some customs inspectors were dis
missed and the King wrote a hot let

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he
is good: for his mercy edureth for
ever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say
so, whom he hath redeemed from the
hand of the enemy
And gathered them out of the
lands, from the east and from the
west, from the north, and from the
south.
They wandered in the wilderness,
in a solitary way: they found no city
to dwell in.
Hungry and thirsty their soul
tainted ia them.
Then they cried unto the Lord in
their trouble, and he delivered them
out of their distresses.
And he led them forth by the right
way, that they might go to city Of
habitation.
Oh that men would praise the Lord
for his goodness, and for his wonder
ful works TO the children of men.
For he satisficth the longing soul,
and fillcth the hungry soul, with
goodness.
