Americans Prepare to
Welcome Rumania's Queen

Announcement from Queen Marie of
Rumania that she will make an Arnerj-
can tour this Fall meet with the en-
tnuSlastic response of the press of this
country. which recognizes in her one
OF the most picturesque and charming
OF the royal personageS of the world.
1T is predicted that in her announced
purpose to visit all of the States she
will gain full acquaintance with the
life OF this vigorous republic.
Whatever the purpose of her visit,
remarks the Lynchburg Advance,
Queen Marie will be welcomed to the
United States. Her war activities en-
deared her to millions of Americans,
and her unaffected interest in her sub
JectS, no matter what their station in
life, has developed a wholesome re-
spect and love for the democratic
ruler. America wants to see this mod
ern-day queen. If she Is seeking q
rich son-in-law, she will no doubt find
large field from which to pick, for
! 1t is said that her unmarried daughter
is fair to look upon. II she is anxious
to secure quantities of American CAPT
tai for the development of her coun-
try she will most likely find many
ears willing to hear her story"
| Rejoicing that at least we are to
have a foreign visitor who will give
our country a thorough examination
rather than a hasty glance" the Bos-
ton Traveller ranks Queen Marie as
"one of the most gifted women among
European royalty" and says of the
effect of her visit: "Rumania has a
delegation of educators in the United
States studying our schools and col

Rumania. The Queens visit will help
still further the process of getting ac-
! quainted. The Little Rock Arkansas
| Democrat refers to an invitation to
visit that city which has been extend
ed by the Chamber of Commerce and
predicts that a call will be immensely
exciting. There are women in Little
Rock" continues the Democrat. who
will welcome the Queen for just what
she is. a handsome. motherly. lovable
woman who has had her domestic
troubles with her children just like so
many American matronS. They will
greet the Queen as q sister under the
skin, one who, when the shadow of
war fell upon her land, went into the
hospitals. nursed the wounded and
smoothed the pillows of the dying"
y
! Queen Marie is something of a
democrat in her life and thoughts"
suggests the Reno Evening Gazette,
las she has proved by her writings,
and, as she speaks English fiuently.
she is certain TO enjoy her sojourn in
the West, and especially in this State,
where she is as likely to he addressed
by men and women as Queen as in
any other way. And probably she'll
like it." The Springfield Union points
out that although she has never be

as no other, royal personage-save.

Marie lives up TO the traditions with
which a democratic people surround
royalty. AS few of the queens that
are left in the modern world, she un-
derstands the necessity Of appearing
as a human being. She delights to
appear in Rumania in peasant cos
tune, and to sing the native songs.
She writes novels freely and sends
them out for%the worlds criticism.
She pens q series Of memoirs for the
