DAUGHTER BORN To MoRGANATIC
WIDOW OF KING ALExANDER

Athens, March 25 (By the A. P0.-
Madame Aspasia Manos, the morganatic
widow of King Alexander, today gave
birth to a daughter.
Madame Manos is the daughter of a
former aide-de-camp of King Constan-
tine. The marriage between her and
Alexander is reported to have taken place
before he was in direct line to the
throne and while his chances for succeed
ing his father. Constantine, appeared
very remote. The union was the culmi-
nation of youthful friendship. The mar
riage is said to have been opposed by
the then Premier Venizelos, who sought
to bring about a separation between the
couple so that the king might marry. a
princess of royal blood.
Shortly after the death Of Alexander
the attorney of Madame Manos made, a
legal plea for the property of her, hus-
band. The court dismissed the opposition
offered by Constantine and ordered the
property turned over to his widow.
Although Constantine after he resumed
the throne declared the widow of his SOL
had no status in royalty she is said II
have daily visited Queen Sophie and t.
have been personally on friendly term
with other members Of the Greek ruling
house.

GERMAN PRESS INDIFFERENT
TO RELATIONS WITH RUsSIA

= Berlin, March 2o.-NBy the A. P.)-
The German press and public both ap-
parently are indifferent to the efforts of
the various powers to re-establ1sh trade
relations with soviet Russia. England's ;
arrangement. followed by the announce
ment that Dr. Stahler, German CONNER
cial representative in Moscow, had per-
fected a protocol preparatory to Russo
German trade agreement, caused little
itcomrnent here and the soviet note to
President Harding. seeking trade rela-
tions with the I'm ed States, did not in
spire any press comment.
The murder of Count Won Mlrbach,
German ambassador in Moscow and the
inability of DR.. Karl Helierich to remain
as ambassador to Russia because of The
attempts made upon his life, convinced
the German foreign Office of the Difficulty
of diplomatic relations with soviet Russia
ina thorough and practical way. TINS
view was strengthened by the propaganda
campaign waged by Adolph Joffe, 5olshe-
vik ambassador in Berlin. which resulted
in his expulsion from Germany The
Russian embassy building here is still
in charge of the German government AND
German bank is holding NJ jones bans
account. which many claimants are dis
~ .ing. -
The protocol negotiated by DR.. stahlel
has not yet been approved by the cahinet
which must act before it becomes ef-
ective. But it's approval undoubtedi.
will be Forthcoming. The protocol doe:
not provide or the restoration of dipio-
matte relations but grants diplomatic i'm
munity to the heads Of commercial dele
gaNons in both countries who have heer
given the consular authority necessary
to legalize business agreements.
Neither German business men nor Ter
man officials believed any considerable
business with Russia i, possible while the
soviet government continues to monopo'
lize, business transactions and prevent:
individuals from trading. Consequently
the protocol is regarded as a preliminary
step which may ultimately make a com
mercial treaty possible if the soviet gov,
erpment modifes its commercial policy.
