placed together and hauled tri-
umphantly through the streets to the
home of the happy parents.

to definitely commit himself as it
would require five years of resi-
dence in America before he could
officially declare his intention Of
becoming a citizen.
From other quarters close to the
family, it was learned however that
the famous diplomat had virtually
decided to renounce his Bulgarian
citizenship.
Mrs. Panaretoff, an American,
formerly of North Andover, Mass,
played big part in swaying him
to final decision it was learned.
Years Break Ties.
Panaretoff's family and friend

virtually severed by the march of

For forty-three years he was a
member Of the faculty at the

his new world connections being
only internationally broken by short
