 TO AMERICAN GIRL
Priests Resent Conversion Of
 Nancy Ann Miller

Bombay. British India. Jan. :l LR Orthodox Hinduism apparently stood as a bar today to the marriage of the former maharaja jah Of Indore to Miss Nancy Ann Miller of Seat | tie. Wash.
 Wishing to have his chosen bride converted to his faith before he married her the former Hindu ruler is understood to have suffered a re- buff. Hindu priests at Nasik, . stronghold of orthodoxy. are said to have refused to countenance such a conversion.
 A Delhi vernacular newspaper as- serts that a prominent Arya Sama- jist leader with other leaders of the sect which seeks to reform the caste and marriage system of the Hindus, have expressed readiness to peform the conversion. Since con- version by Arya Samaj rites k not accepted by orthodox Hindus as having the sanction of Hindu scripture. 1t is doubtful whether tho conversion would be accepted by the former maharatah's relatives or members of his caste.
 The same paper says a Sikh lead CT and legal practitioner of Hoshiar- pur. Punjab. has telegraphed to for mer ruler. that he is willing to con- vert the American girl and the Hindu if they are willing 10 have their marriage performed in accord ance with such rites.
 The Sikh religion. which is a combination of the teachings of the Persians Sufis and Hinduism, ac- cepts proselytes. It has obtained le- gal sanction for its male adherents to marry more than one wife pro- vided both parties to the marriage contract are Sikhs. If the former maharajah wishes to take advantage of the Sikh offer both he and his fiancee will have to be initiated into Sikhism.
 Meanwhile the former ruler and his prospective bride are at the re- sort of Nuwara Eliya Ceylon. await Ing developments. It is uncertain when they will leave.

ID BURY HAIG AT
 ANCESTRAL HOME
English Field Mardal Not to
 Rest in St. Paul's

London. Jan. s1 tUP) - Field Marshal Earl Haig is to be buried at his ancestral home at Bemersyde, Scotland. among the bones Of his soldier ancestors. Canon Alexander Of St. Paul's Cathedral announced today.
 Canon Alexander said 70 far as he knew there would be no service Of any sort at St. Paul's. but 1t was believed there would be memorial service at Westminster Abbey for the late commander-in-chief of the British World War armies. It was thought also that, if Lord Haig were buried at Bemersyde, it would be because Of request con- tained In his will. which was not known at the time Of his death.
 The death of the commander of the British World War forces struck a sad note at the heart of the na- ton.
 Everywhere there was mourning because Earl Haig was popular. not only through his war successes but because of his post war activities for tho soldiers, ex-soldiers and Boy Scouts. The Saturday before he died he had visited ono of his fayorite Boy Scout regiments at Richmond.
 The full sense of the mourning was made public by a message from King George.
 "The sudden irreparable loss of this valuable life will be deeply felt throughout the entire empire by the empire and more especially by Gen eral Haigs old comrades" the roya, message said.
 Paris. Jan. Sl (UP)-All France today mourned the death of Sir Douglas Haig. who was field marshal of the British forces during the World War.
 An exemplification of Frances mourning was the statement in Echo de Paris which said:
 France will never forget HaiK."
 Marshal Foch. the allied com- mander, was deeply hurt by the - NHHA' "|olA AAdA6 "dB uCAO.
 "Haig's name is written prom inently in the histories of the World War. l will never forget the day at Doullens when was invested with the supreme command of the allied armies by Premier Clemenceau and President Doumergue. General Hais came to me to tell me he was simply at my orders.
 Paris. Jan. 31 (UP) - France, anxious to honor Earl Haig. may send detachment of troops to his funeral in London.
 The cabinet. at meeting today, decided that Marshals Foch and Pe- tain, with whom Haig worked in the World War. should go to the funer- al and that the French ambassador at London should be the personal representative of President Dou.

ANNEXATION URGED
| IN ARLINGTON SUIT
Expert Says Alexandra Re-
quireS Potomac Area for
Orderly Growth. q
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ARLINGTON, Va, December 90
ALLEN J. Saville of Richmond, an engi-
heer, was put on the stand today as an
expert witness in the annexation suit
of Alexandria against Arlington Coun-
ty. He said he had testified in the an
nexation case of the city of Lynchburg
and is employed in a similar capacity
by Alexandria. He had inspected the
mac, proposed to be annexed, and
found that the line of the city taking
in the area would form natural bound
aries, making a compact body of land
suitable and adaptable to city develop
lnent Assuming that Potomac is to be-
come part of Alexandria, he said, it is
necessary that the city have control of
THE area through which the drainage
would pass to the river, making it i'm
perative that the city gain possession
as far north as Four Mile Run.
! The city should also have straight
5ine eastward from -Four Mile Run to
the river, he said, as it would be det-
Tinental both to the city and county
q to have a strip of the county land
running into the city limits This
would result if Arlington retained the
land on the east of the Potomac rail-
road yards, facing on the river.
Saville told the court the city would
soon make use of the land on the east
of the railroad yards for industrial pur-
poses. He said the two physical fac
tors of sportation-rail and water
are favorable to the potentialities of
the city. Potomac yards, neck of the
body of railroads for Southern shipping,
Is adjacent to the city and in the ter
Titory proposed to be annexed, and the
1ert. fa,.l laRar
ships.
Saville said Washington would sup
ply a large amount of labor for the
industries that will locate in Alex
andria. He said in his opinion it is
necessary for city to look ahead 20
years and plan for its future develop
ment.
Asked by Maj. Carter Hall, who con-
Quoted a directed examination for Alex
andria, If he had figures available by
which to compare the density of popu-
lation of Alexandria with that of other
cities of Virginia and North Carolina
Sayille produced statistics to show that
Alexandria, with an average of 81 per-
sons per acre, has more dense popu-
lation than Charlottesville, Lynchburg
Roanoke and Norfolk. in Virginia, anc

boro, Raleigh and Winston Salem, il
North Carolina. The figures were taker
from reports made by officials of those
cities in 1926.
In the event of annexation the city
population would be increased 24,380
which would give Alexandria an aver
age of ST persons per acre, which
would still be greater than the popula
ton density of Charlottesville, Lynch
burg, Asheville, Durham and Greens
boro.
