mittee has already been appointed to
take charge of the undertaking. The
Janfculm Is sacred to Garibaldi, and
the Aventine to Mazzini. and now
Monte Mario is to be devoted to the
national glorification of Dante. This
has the effect of putting an end to
the cherished project of the American
Methodist Church to erect a great
college OF its denomination on this
hill, which overlooks the Vatican, and
which has been strongly objected to
by italian Catholics on this account.
1t may be recalled that last year
King Victor Emmanuel conferred a
dukedom upon Generalissimo DiaZ.
the great commander who retrieved
the disaster of Caporetto in 1917, and
LED the Italian army to final victory
In the following year. The monarch
has now bestowed a similar distinc-
ton upon Admiral Paolo Thaon di
Revel, the ranking officer of the
Italian navy and who commanded in
chief the maritime forces OF his
country through the great war To
this gallant gray-bearded officer, who
bears marked resemblance to Rear
Admiral Sims of the United States
Navy, belongs the credit of having
obliterated by his victories at sea
the memories of the disaster of LISA
In the war of 1865, and in addition to
the naval battles which he won he
afterward played leading role at
the peace conference in Paris in con-
| nection with the prevention of the
alienation of Fiume to any foreign
power. and also in subsequently Sc
curing the retirement of DAnnunzio
from Fiume and his return to his al
| legiance to King Victor Emmanuel and
to the national government Of Italy.

Admiral di Revel was to closely
| identified with the defense of the
long coast line OF the kingdom in
the Adriatic throughout the great
war and with the protection of Italy's
predominant interests in that inland
sea, interests that are vital to the
future political and economic future
of his native land, that his country
men are suggesting that instead of
being known from henceforth as the
Duke di Revel he should be accord
ed, If not by the crown, at any rate
by popular claim, as the Duke of the
Adriatic.
Meanwhile, Gen. Count Luigi Ca
Iorne. who commanded in chief the
Italian army until the defeat of
Caporetto in 1917, is living in the
| utmost obscurity as an officer on
the retired list, with a pension of
SO a day, at the present rate Of ex-
change. His countrymen have en-
tirely forgotten that before the dis
aster at Caporetto he had won no
less than eleven most brilliant vic
tories along the lsonzo front in
southeastern Austria by means Of
Alpine military operations, which
commanded the unbounded admira-
ton of the entire civilized world,
operations in which Prince Gelasio
I ~

and Italian ambassador to the United
States, played very important part.

where he now makes his home, it is
because of the great affection which
the entire British royal family enter

Stoner, and virtually brought up with
King Edwards daughters. Her mother,
the late Mrs. Stoner, was one of the
earliest ladies-in- waiting and most in

the early days of the latters marriage,

AS for her husband the Marquis
d 'HautpouI. his family fourished in
Languedoc a thousand years ago and
took its name from the family castle of
Hattie Pullo Constant, Marquis d Haul
pouI, greatly distinguished himself in
the Napoleonic wars in the battles of
wagram, at Moscow and of Leipzig, and
was governor for a good many years of
the little royal Duke of Bordeaux. who
reigned for twenty-four hours over
France as Henry V. after his grand
father Charles X, had abdicated in his
favor. and who died as the Comte de
Chambord. Under the Bourbons an
other Marquis sof Hautpoul was gov
ernor of Algeria, general in command
of the French army of occupation at
Rome, French ambassador to the holy
see, and died as grand referendaire of
the senate in 1865. He shares his wife's
popularity and represents all that is
best in the breeding and distinction of
the patrician, both of England and OF
France.
