MADRID, April 15.—Queen Vie- toria of Spain left the royal pal- ace for France today with four of her children, the last of thesroyal family to go, and the colors of the new Spanish republic were draped across the doors of the palace. The Queen left by train for Irun on the Franco-S| rder.

Liberal Socialist elements everywhere naturally hail the new republic, while conservative ~elements look thereon somewhat askance. But by objective observers several grave questions have already been raised. Remember Kerensky's Collapse. 1. Will the new Republican regime | be able to preserve order or, under pressure from the extremists, will it gradually become more and more revo- lutionary? The example of the Ke: rensky in Russia, collapsing un- der the Communist onslaught, is still present in many minfls. 2.

Of course, if the Presi- | dent remains at his desk at the White | House there will be the customary fre. quent week end visits to his fishing | camp ‘on the Rapidan River, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Fond of Mountain Retreat. Mr. Hoover is known to be especiall: fond of his mountain retreat in Vir- ginia and always finds it restful and interesting, and the inference has been given by him to friends, who have re- cently discussed the plans for the Sum- mer season, that as far as he:person- ally is concerned, he would be content to remain on the job if it were pos-| g Ry R Virgl camp. The ing - son opened April 1, and though the President has had frequent reminders | of this, he has not yet found it con- | venient to lay aside his work to go to the camp and indulge in this sport, of which he is ardently fond. It is understood the President’s recent vacation cruise to Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands was so restful and bene- ficial that he feels physically fit to con- tinue on at his desk through the com- ing hot months. ! %’he belief has been general that the President had made up his mind to go West this Summer, inasmuch as he has | not made s trip across the continent | to his California home since becomlng} President. He had such a trip wched-‘ uled for last Summer, which would | have included visits to Yellowstons, | Glacier_and several of the other Na- tional Parks of the Rocky Mountain country, but due to the problem brought | | to remain in Washington. Several Speeches Scheduled. Mr. Hoover is scheduled to make sev- | eral speeches outside of Washington | within the next t'lg :nm l;‘lfi h:': of these being at Sp: leld, ., June 17, incident to the rededication of the Lincoln Memorial, and the general impression has been that he would con- | tinue west for his vacation from that | point. The first of his speeches wili be | on Memorial day at Valley Forge, Pa.| The next will be on June 15 at Indian- | apolis, Ind., when he addresses the an- | nual meeting of the Indiana Republi- can Editors’ Association. The follow- ing day he will review the National En- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Columbus, Ohlo, and later that day will deliver an address at the dedication of the memorial to President ' Harding at Marion, Ohio. It is thought likely that President and Mrs. Hoover and a small party of | riends will go to, the Rapidan camp this week end. The President is anx- icus to get in some trout fishing before the season is over, but his excursion will depend entirely upon Mr. Hoover's abil- ity to get away from his office. Since the camp was closed last October for the Winter improvements have been sdded, the principle one being the building of a large reservoir to furnish water for the camp and erecticn of sev- eral additional cabins.

BERLIN, April 15.—The famous pBluecher Palace on Pariserplatz, which had been purchased by the American Government for an embassy building here, was badly damaged by fire before dawn today. The whole right wing of the three- story building was ablaze before the arrival of firemen, who, despairing of | saving the palace, concentrated their | efforts on preventing spread of the | blaze to nearby buildings Additional rms emptied other fire houses and almost every piece of apparatus in the city was called out. i Trade Offices Destroyed. Origin of the fire was not determined. There were no known casualties, but the offices of the United States com- mercial attache, the only part of the embassy which had been moved to the building, were destroyed. Title to the bullding was still in its former owner's hand so the United States Government, which is reputed to have paid $7,500,000 for it, presuma- bly escal serious loss. The palace was built by the Prussian govern- ment as a gift to Gen Bluecher, who turned the tide of battle at Waterloo. Ambassador Sackett said that he probably would have to postpone his projected trip to America because of the fire. He could not determine im- mediately whether a new building would have to be e or, in that case, how long America would have to wait for a new embassy. Explosions Reported. Several persons who watched the fire said that at its outbreak it was ac- companied by several explosions, pre- sumably due to the ignition of hunter's ammunition belonging to one of the tenants, among whom was Henckell von Donnersmark, whose apartment was completely destroyed. ‘The half-burned records of the American commercial attache’s office could be picked up all over the famous tiergarten this morning, a high wind having blown them out of the building while the firemen were attempting to quench the blaze, The chief sufferers from the fire were the members of the Donnersmark family, who lost costly tapestries, paintings, Venetian mirrors and antique furni- ture collected through centuries. Frau Edith von Maltzan, widow of the late Ambassador to the United States, who was a guest in the palace, helped the Donnersmarks rescue two of their most valuable canvases, Lenbach’s “Bismarck” and ulbacl Count Guido Henckell of Donnersmar] | Famous Bluecher Palace, Still o | {Men Plated in Line-up After | Congr | tem) hold-up, March | | TWO ARE IDENTIFIED AS LANE SLAYERS One Is Alleged to Have Confessed Crime.
