> - g " ; THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHING Will Removal of the Aiglon’s Body - . + . Reveal Great Treasure of Austria? BY STERLING RAEILIG. ACACCIO, Corsica, June 9, 1921, CURIOUS story comes from Vienna. The story is not one of those which are made for exporta- tion. Call it pure Viennese. Yet it agitates the Island of Corsica as- tonishingly, because it visibly meets the deep desires of every Corsican, to whom the glory of Napoleon is as an affair of family and the passession of his son’s remains (though after near 100 years) will be second only in desirability to that of the great- ness that sleeps beneath the dome of the Invalides. From Nice the passenger boats cross to Corsica in ten hours. On May 4 (b.ginning of the centenary of Na- poleon’s th at St. Helena) crowds of tourists heard the solemn requiem sung in the chapel where Napoleon's mother is buried.
