PARIS, Jan. o4.--The nervousness
and jumpiness of Europe in is post
war condition is admirably illustrated
by the drama of the last few days thac
has revolved about cx x-gmpress 2ita Of
Austria. All the excitement seems to
have originated from, q flood Of
frantic appeals from the Central Eu-
ropean nations and members Of the
Little Entente asking the Allies to
frustrate Zita's supposed conspiracy to
regain the Hungarian throne for her
husband. Tonight the play is about
over, for the Empress is in Madrid, the
guest Of King Alfonso, and soon will
be on her way back to exile on tbs
island OF Madeira.
The real story Of Zite's visit to the
Continent from Funcilal, with the per-
mission Of the Allies. to visit a son i'll
in Switzerland, is just beginning to un-
fold. Her expulsion from Switzerland
had expired, her enforced journey for
two days and three nights through
France. unattended even by maid, and
her financial embarrassment are al
ready known. To-day the Poincare
Cabinet brought oct more details by
announcing officially that France + ad not
taken any part in the persecution OF
The Empress and teleeraphing the
Swiss government that France has no
bjcction to the children Of Zita and
Charles passing through Paris when
hey leave Sw tzerl nd for Madeira.
Supreme Council Barred Paris Route
The denial Of that privilege to zita
seclns to have been the result of an
orde~ from the Allied Ambassadors
Council, the members Of which were
under the bombardment of messnges
f1on Eastern Europe for aid in squelch-
i3-> Zita'a alleged morarchistic plans.
inc extent to wnjcn i Ia stirred Eu-
"ope is now revealed Six days ago the
jug o->lAv army secretly began nobll-
l1ation. Diplomats OF the Little En-
t9nte countries in Budapest as we'll a5
here telegraphed excitedly to their
! ONE governments that the presence OF
alta n S itzerand was threatening The
peace OF Europe. One Of a thousand
,umors was that zits and her seven
| children were marching on Budapest
for another Carlist revolt Jules Cam
bon president Of the Allied Ambassa-
dors' Council, received in single day
as many as ghtecn Communications s
from diplomatists on this subject.
Conspiracy Charged
At the meeting OF the Council last
Wednesday Lord Hardinge, British Am
bassador. strongly supported the
declaration OF Count Bonn Longare
that action must be taken. Longare is
reported to have outlined the tremen-
dous danger even TO France OF the
cons piracy that was supposed to be
brewing, in which not only Zita, but
her French brothers. Prince S:xtus and
Prince Xavier. and all the other Bour-
bons were said to be involved. The
Berne government and 2ita, who was
al the hospital with her son, demand
ing that she leave Switzerland imme-
diately.
Preparations were made at once for
Zita and her six we'll sons to start at
once for home, but when her plans for
going by way OF Paris in order TO OBJ
tain money for railroad faro from one
of her brothers WAS specifically
vetoed. she decided to leave the chill
dren in Switzerland temporarily and
go back to Funchal alone.
Children Allowed in Paris
When Zita arrived in Bordeaux she
nleadcd with an influential French
newspaper man who met her there to
appeal to Premier Paincace to allow
her children to join her in Spain and
make the trip to Madeira with her.
, The decision Of The french Cabinet to-
day was the result. The children, the
oldest nine years and the youngest
eighteen months, had been left at
Warteg, Switzerland, with their ma.
ternal grandmother, the Duchess Of
Palma, who had twenty-three children.
AS result of the Cabinet decision
six OF the children are expected 60
reach Paris Wednesday evening, ac-
companied by 8 tutor and governess,
and will stay at the Convent Notre
Dame. Later they will join their
mother at Lisbon and board the small
steamship Vasco da Cana for Madeira.
One is i'll and remains in Switzerland.
Zita told confdants at Bordeaux that
she had been worried whether Charles
had enough money to live on during
her absence from Funchal. She said
that she had obtained money from
Prince Sixtus. 1t is understood shat
both Zita and Charles will be dependent
upon loans from relatives and friends
until the Little Entente countries con-
tribute their agreed share toward tho
