ROME, August Romance has
triumphed over politics-it is revealed
by the laconic announcement in the
Italian press that the plucky Princess
Mafalda will, after all, wed her lover,
a poor student prince, Philip OF Hesse,
after overcoming difficulties to reli-
gion and the stubbornness Of both
their fathers.
Mafalda's father demanded that
Philip agree to permit their children
TO be raised Catholics and Philips
father opposed on the ground that the
children might some day inherit the
throne of Hesse, which would be i'm
possible for Catholic.
Cardinal Merry del Val took Ma.
falda's case before the highest digni-
taries and obtained stipulation,
modifying Philips father, that while
the children should be reared Catho-
lies, they would be free at the age of
81 to choose the faith to which they
wished to adhere.

formidable propositions. Strikers in
Paris now number about 5 900 and the
movement is spreading to the prov

A deputation of strike leaders, said
that Minister of Finance CailIaux told

legitimate right to organize, adding
that he thought their claim for ir-

a sliding salary scale was just.
The minister, however, has been ur-
able to bring the bankers to the same
opinion. They refuse to grant more

BRITISH VIEWS ON
GERMAN NOTE GIVEN

London.-Great Britain has replied
to the French observations on the
German security pact note in the
same form in which the French made
their observations to Great Britain,
by note to Lord Crewe, the British
ambassador to Paris, for his guidance
in oral discussions.
In this note, Great Britain points
out that it does not take nearly as
serious a view of some of the Ger
man objections as France, and be-
lieves they can all be smoothed out
when the time for a conference comes.
France, however, has advised Great
Britain that it is unalterably opposed
to conference before the discus
sions are much further advanced than
they are at present It is now sug-
gested that when Aristide BRAND
and Austen Chamberlain meet at the
League of Nations session in Geneva
in September, Foreign Minister Strese-
mann might spend a holiday some
where in the vicinity where the three
statesmen might meet Informally and
talk things over. BY that time 1t is
hoped public opinion in Germany will
have ripened sufficiently to allow con-
cessions which are now impracticable.

eral staff, during the war, declared at
the Institute Of Politics that 1t was
extremely improbable that there
would be general European war
within the next 20 years." The reason
for his optimistic opinion, he went on,
was the general desire in Europe to
avoid another great war.
Fear of attack, and not militarism,
is the real reason for the maintenance
of huge standing armies in continental
countries. according to General Maui

SENATOR URGES
TAX REDUCTION
Five Hundred Million Cut
Asked by Copeland of
New York.

Washington.-The most ambitious
tax-reduction program advocated by
any member Of congress or representa-
i've OF the administration was put for
ward by Senator Royal S. Copeland.
Democrat, of New York, here on Off
cial business with several government
tai departments.
Senator Copeland declared he favors
deep slashes all along the line, aggre-
eating S5O0,000000 annually. To make
this possible without creating a deficit
in the treasury, he urged that the great
rapidity with which the public debt
now is being retired should be retarded
and large part of the money now
devoted to debt liquidation be applied
to tax relief.
10 Per Cent Surtax.
Detailing the changes he will fight
for in the present law, the New York
senator said, If practically possible, he
would like to see the maximum sur
tax lowered from 40 per cent to 10
per cent. He would repeal the lnher-
itance taxes on the ground that this
source Of revenue should be left to the
states, and also wipe out all remain
ing nuisance taxes For the little fell
low he would increase exemptions to
$1,000, so that no person earning up
to that amount would have any fed
eral income tax to pay.
Aid This Generation.
On the question of debt retirement
Senator Copeland said:
Il am very strongly opposed to the
present administrations idea of WHIP
ing out the public debt by heavy taxa
ton on the present generation.
For the present, at least, we should
not collect in federal taxes any con-
siderable amount in excess Of the cost
of operating the government in the
most economical way"
