The present bridegroom's father
was in the Italian diplomatic SER
vice.
Count Carlo Calvi di Bergolo is an
officer in a crack Piedmontese cav
airy regiment. During the war he
changed from the cavalry into the
bombing service, SO as to get more
active duty, was badly wounded and
was decorated for his bravery.
His sister Matilda married Prince
Aage of Denmark, cousin of the
Danish king. The Danish prince had
to give up his claim to succession
to the throne and his right to be
called Royal Highness," just as Yo-
landa has to do today to become his
sister-in-law.
Princess Yolanda told her royal dad
not long ago:
"It's Calvi or nobody"
And when her father started to
say something to her about the pos
sible need for marriage for state
reasons. she kissed him, Rugged hin
and said: .t
You ought to be the last one in
the world to advance such a reason ;
you and mother who have been low
ers all your lives"
The king was silenced.
In 1896 the king, then Italian
crown prince, was about TO be be-
trothed to German princess-for
dynastic reasons. But young Victor

GROOM IS COMMONER

Rome, April NO event, since
the bloodless Fascist revolution that
swept Premier Mussolini and his
blackshirted followers into power, has
so served to unite Italy and revivify
intense flame of nationalism as the
Forthcoming wedding of the Princess
Yolanda, oldest daughter of the reign
ing house Of Savoy, to Count Calvi di
Bergolo.
While all the amenities due a royal
wedding are being observed, state
functions, lavish gifts, brilliant parties
at the palace and obeisances of the
diplomatic corps, Italians regard the
marriage, which takes place Monday
noon, as strictly an Italian affair.
Yolanda like Mary of England, is
marrying a commoner, the man of her
choice, man of people, since Counts
are not rare in Italy.
Moreover, she is marrying an Ital-
ian, whom royal precedent would have
given her hand to one of royal birth
from another nation. Fascismo, in con-
sequence, regards this as a gesture OF
triumph for its cause.
A Kind Princess.
The Princess signals her approach
ing nuptials with an act of kindness
that results in 1000 working girls be-
ing returned to jobs from which they
had been discharged.
Her father, the king, gives 100000
IRE 10 the poor of Rome. Mussolini
son of a lamorer, will act as civil
clerk at the first ceremony on Mon
day.
In many ways Mr.. and Mrs. italian
Citizen, if not too radical, are beine
made to feel they have part in the
event.
- No splendor, however, that might
have embellished the wedding of al
italian princess to a foreign poten'
tate has been overlooked. The prin
cess today presided at an intimate
luncheon and tonight, with hei
dashing fiance at her side, will re
ceive members of the diplomatic corps.
The princess also went to commun-
ion and prepared herself for the wed
ding ceremony.

DEADLOCK In RUHR
4 ABOUT TO COME TO
h IAN END, PARIS FEELS
Cossipers Stirred by Visit
;i of French Colonel
House" to London. &.

Paris, April 1.-THE impression
persists in Paris tonight that an end
of the Ruhr deadlock is at hand, an
agreement between France and Ger
many, involving British accord, is con-
sidered probable as an outcome of
Louis Loucheur's more or less myster-
ious visit to London.
Loucheur, leading industrialist Of
France, is understood to have acted
as a sort of "Colonel House" for
President Millerand.
Millerand is anxious that a settle
ment of the Ruhr question shall be
marked by a resumption of an "en-
tente cordiale" between his country
and England.
Premier Poincare's adamant atti-
tude towards the situation may be
influenced, it is felt, IL Loucheur has
brought back promise of British &C.
cord with a settlement that would in
volve a withdrawal of French troops
from the newly occupied zones. France
while determined to "see it through
in the Ruhr. wants to resume friendly
relations with Great Britain.
I.oucheur is understood to have
laid before British officials the latest
French schemes of industrialists and
to have secured a tentative approva
of the plan. He made it clear there
had been no weakening on the part Of
France and Belgium and succeeded
in dissipating somewhat the ill-feel
ing towards his country created by
invasion of the Ruhr. 4
This is what the French press un
derstands unofficially to have been thu
purpose and accomplishment of
Loucheur's London trip. Papers op
posed to Poincare go further and sug
gest the present premier is about t.
fall and be Nupplanted by some on
who can effect agreement with Ger
many.
One way or the other. It is fel
here. way out Of the present Rub
deadlock has been found and taken.

girls have been born to the royal fam.
| lily. s
The three eldest children were I'M
der the strictest supervision of AL
English governess whose word was
law. They were kept entirely out of
the public eye for years. SO much
was this the case that it used to be
gossiped in Rome that they were de-
ficient. This was untrue.
1t was only when Iolanda was
eight that the public were allowed a
glimpse into her existence.
Her father gave her the choice OF
three birthday gifts, picnic in the
country, or a holiday from all lessons,
or a reception of poor children in the
royal gardens.
She chose the latter and 800 or
phans from the Messina and Gala
bria earthquake regions were invited
to be her guests. Yolanda played
games. picked flowers for the young
sters and gave away all her toys. That
night she told her parents she had =
perfect day.
Her Fathers Pal.
As she grew UP she became a
great pal of her father. She shared
with him his interest in coins; he
has one of the greatest numismatie
collections in the world.
As she loves outdoors sports, she
often went out hunting and riding
with him. When the war broke out
she insisted upon her right to accom-
pany him on his visits to the front
and once nearly lost her life wher
an airplane bomb burst near her au
tomobile.
When the king turned most of his
palaces into war hospitals Yolanda
promptly took nursing lessons and
then worked hard in caring for the
wounded.
Yolanda is fluent in English and
French. a good musician and paint
er. She swings a skilled tennis
racquet. pulls a strong oar. drives q
motor cleverly and is noted for her
skill as a horsewoman.

Canton, China, April 7.-Dr. Sun
Yat-Sen staged his comeback, stunt
which many thought impossible for the
56-year-old Chinese leader. Six
months ago he fled from this same
city at midnight, a fugitive on Brit
ish man-of-war, bound for Hongkong.
He was advised not to linger at that
British colony and it was believed
that he was finally disposed of. Brit

face for the British colony and British
policy. 1t was so rapid that the loyal
colonists had difficity in grasping it.
Determined individuals who consid'
cred it proper patriotism to declaim
that Sun ought to be shot, tried fol-
treason to the crown or deported from
China-all in accordance with the
sacred theory that Britain rules tbs
world-were obliged to change theil
tune. None of them was let into tbs
secret. Instead of following its previ
GUS policy of refusing to let Sun land
in Hongkong, the colony discovered
that the governor had invited him tc

The parade started with the usual
Chinese confusion. Long strings of
firecrackers hanging from the roofs
rained down on the heads of to,
marchers. 1t was the public's only
view Of the leader. Government in
China is invisible. Officials are never
seen and rarely heard by those they
govern. The next day Canton had a
new mayor, a new provincial COVER
nor. a new commissioner of foreign
affairs and new officials for every
portfolio. Nobody elected them, no.
body was consulted. The governor
issued a proclamation deprecating his
unworthiness but not explaining how
he happened to be governor. Sun Foo
the doctors son, reappointed mayor
said nothing but started cleaning the
city. Such is democracy in China.

Ovation Upon His Return to Canton, the
City From Which He Fled as
Fugitive Six Months Ago.

The colony's efforts to put in hand
picked government for Canton which
the Cantonese did not want was an
admitted failure. The officials of this
government were either back in Hong
kong or flown to other parts. Expect
ed concessions had flivvered. Hong
kong accepted the situation with the
best grace possible and after two
days of receptions. DIR. Sun and his
part ystarted for Canton. The quest
for concessions will now start anew.
The Sun party came up the river
on one of the day passenger boats.
A Chinese gunboat which had been
sent to receive them followed close be-
hind. DIR. Sun considered the gunboat
TOO military" He was standing on
the captains bridge, easily identified
by a gray fedora and black Chinese
suit when the steamer came into view
around bend in the river. Both sides
of the waterfront were lined with
spectators. They had been patiently
waiting for hours. Bedlam broke
loose. firecrackers popped on all sides,
five Chinese bands all playing at once
were crowded in front of the landing.
The crowds broke into shouts which
were more vociferous than intelligi-
Bile.
Disdains Body Guard.
Through it all DIR. Sun stood placid
ly on the bridge, raising his hat and
bowling. The nicely prepared path
which the soldiers had made from the
pier TO the flow-trimmed automobile
disappeared in a milling mass. Two
Indian Sikhs from the steamer, with
rifles, kept the gang plank clear but
beyond that was only solid humanity.
Sun was elbowed and showed through
the mob, apparently the only upper
turbed person there. Officers were
trying TO salute, dozen wanted TO
shake hands, labor leaders with gaudy
yellow badges were waving flags and
the din Of the bands was drowned by
the roar Of fireworks. The doctor got
into the conspicuously decorated car.
He motioned the guards away. One

him from Shanghai insisted on stay

Berlin, April 7.-American firms
are finding it impossible to do bust
ness in Germany any longer on ac-
count of the prolonged occupation of
the Ruhr by the French, according to
an official statement made today by
the American chamber Of commerce
in Berlin. The statement reads as fol-
lows:
"In consequence of the French oc-
cupation of the Ruhr district and the
subsequent conflicting regulations is
sued by the inter-Allied commission.
the Franco-Belgian authorities and the
German government, American firms
in unoccupied Germany are placed be-
fore an untenable position. A number
of American firms depend upon the
Ruhr and the occupied provinces On
the west bank of the Rhine for their
supplies. German firms in those terri
tories are under contract to deliver
these supplies. The French do not
permit goods TO leave this territory
except by paying to the French au-
thorities 10 per cent tax. The Ger
man government forbids German firms
to pay this tax. The result is that the
American firms cannot secure their
goods.
"The chamber has received a num-
Der of urgent requests for relief and
has brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the American authorities
through the proper channels. No def
mite steps toward relief have been
taken yet. but we believe that some
thing will be done to clear the situa-
tion in the interest of American firms
operating in Germany. Some cases
have come to the chambers attention
in which. according to the agreement
between German and American firms.
the goods or supplies in the Ruhr be-
come American property as soon as
maid for. The demand of the French
for the payment of n 10 per cent tax
before shipment from that district will
mean that the American firms must
stand this exnense."
