CHICAGO, November 15.-Christ-
mas day, the Christmas holiday that
brings thoughts Of home to millions
from Queens to the humblest COM
moner, will find Queen Marie under
her own rooftree in Bucharest in
stead of on the bleak Atlantic
| At the request of King Ferdinand
of Rumania, his royal consort 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 De-
cember 25.
They will sail from New York on
December II, instead of December "a
as originally planned. Part of con-
templated Southern trip will be
abandoned to meet the earlier sailing
date
Her majesty received word from
his majesty" explained 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 holi-
day season.
Touched by Appeal.
"And her majesty was touched at
the wish. She was anxious to see
more of America. She is looking for
ward to a brief Southern trip. But
she wants, most of all, to obey the
wishes of her people"
Incidentally, the new plan will make
| it possible for Princess Ileana to cele-
brate her eighteenth birthday in her
homeland. The Princess comes of age
| Christmas eve, the very night on
which, according to the earlier plan
she would be sailing out Of New York
Harbor.
The same cable that brought the
Kings request to Queen Marie, also
detailed the sovereign s. speech in open
ing Parliament in Bucharest, in which
he referred to the imposing mani
festations which have marked the
Queens visit to America with great
qualification. Rumania, he said, never
has stood so we'll in her relations
with foreign countries and the situa'
ton at home was improving steadily.
Loans Reported Under Way.
Other dispatches from the Ruman-
ian capital said that negotiations for
various foreign loans to the Balkan
kingdom were reported in rapid sue
cession the last week. Among these
we're a reported loan of 100000, 900
from an American group, and $780,
O0O, 900 in London, from an Anglo
American consortium. Leading flnan-
cial circles, however, professed to
know nothing concerning an Ameri-
can loan.
Three men and three women dis.
tributing handbills attacking the
Queen to the crowd about the Jewish
Rumanian synagogue, during the
Queens presence there yesterday,
were arrested. They were booked on
charges of disorderly conduct and
distributing handbills, and were re-
phlets charged workers are imprison-
ed and murdered In Rumania, and
spoke of "extravagant orgies" in
royal court. The distributors made no
attempts at violence.
The revised itinerary for Queen
Marie cancels a Florida trip and calls
for a two-day stop at Washington, be-
ginning November "a, and a visit to
atlantic City on November q 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
narty will go to Richmond, Va, and
