MARIE WILL SAIL
 FOR HOME DEC. il.
Queen Answers Kings Request She Be Home for Christmas

under her own rooftree in Bucha- rest instead of on the bleak Atlan- tic.
 At the request of King Ferdi- nand of Rumania. his royal con- sort has cancelled a portion of her American trip so that she and her children. Princess Ileana and Prince Nicholas. may be with their own people on December 25.
 They will sail from New York on December II, instead of December A as originally planned. Part of contemplated southern trip will be abandoned to meet the earlier sailing date.
 Her majesty received word from his majesty" explained 8 member of the royal entourage, that he wanted to have her home for Christmas. He said too, that the people throughout Rumania were SO anxious for their beloved queen to be back at the holiday season.
 And her majesty was touched at the wish. She was anxious to see more of America. She Is look ing forward to a brief southern trip, but she wants. most of all. to obey the wishes of her people,"
 Incidentally the new plan will make 1t possible for Princess Ileana to celebrate her 18th birth day in her homeland. The princess comes of age Christmas eve. the very night on which, according to the earlier plan, she would be sail ing out of New York harbor.
 The same cable that brought the i kings request to Queen Marie, also detailed the sovereign's speech in opening parliament in Bucharest, in which he referred to the impos- ing manifestations which have marked the queens visit to Amer ica with great qualification. Ru- mania, he said, never has stood SO l well in her relations with foreign countries and the situation at home was improving steadily.
 Other dispatches from the Ru- manian capital said that negotia- tions for various foreign loans to the Balkan kingdom were reported in rapid succession the last week. Among these were a reported loan of s1,000,000,0O0 from an Ameri- can group and 30.000.O00 pounds in London from an Anglo -Ameri- can consortium. Leading financial circles, however, professed to know nothing concerning an American loan.
 The revised itinerary for Queen Marie cancels a Florida trip and calls for two day stop at Wash ington, beginning November 24, and a visit to Atlantic City on Novem- Der 27 and to White Sulphur Springs. W. Va, the following day After being joined by her children, who will attend the Army-Navy game here, the royal party will go to Richmond, Va, and in 8 few days to New York. A visit to Bos- ton may be added to the schedule. At the historical building to the Lake Shore Drive mansion of Mrs. Mccormick she was an hour be- hind schedule at o'clock and two Rumanian churches where she was awaited were packed for hours.
