ROME, Italy, July 27.—Ital randum to Geneva on disarmament has | yot yet been dispatched and probably | will not be until the French memoran- dum of last week is carefully studied. It i= understood the Italian note | was scheduled to be atched over | the week end, but was yed due to: the character of the French note. Also, there is a desire to know whether lh!l yumor of French Premier Piérre Laval's | plans for a Roman trip is founded. If £0, Italy may delay the note until after his trip. It is understood. however, that the French several weeks ago re- fused an indirect invitation to a per- sonal meeting with Italy’s statesmen. and it is considered unlikely that M. Laval is really coming. Attitude Same as in 1928. When the note does come, Italy is likely to point out she has not vet an- nounced her naval prdgram for this, vear and to reiterate her desire for naval accord with France on equitable | terms.

ANTON AND ILEANA ON WEDDING TRP Ceremony at Sinaia Marked by Brilliant Pageantry, 300 Attending. By the Associated Press. SINATA, Rumania, July 27.—Prince Anton and Princess lleana were on their wedding journey today and the peasants who thronged Sinala yester- day were on their way back home, traveling bareback and by ox cart The gypsy musicians who made merry for the wedding have disappeared from the streets and gay costumes have been put away.

Tleana, daughter of the late King Ferdinand and Marie, now dowager queen, and Anton, enth son of Arch- duke Leopold Salvator of Hapsburg, were married in the palace of Pelesh, A romantic-looking castle among the pine trees in Sinaia’s hi cus ceremony, by the Roman 3 took place in the large hall of the palace before about 300 guests. Tleana said her “Yes” in a loud, firm voice; Anton's was scarcely audibe. ¥ On the altar were three golden chairs In which sat three prelates, Prince Wiadimir Chika, Bishop Cisar and Bishop Fiskner. Carol Gives Away Bride. King Carol gave away the bride, who wore white satin, interwoven with thor “i of gold. On her head was a gold diadem surmounted by a large dia- mond. Her long train was carried by two Girl Scouts—members of the band who had strewn Sfanfa’s streets with flowers earlier in_the day. Young Crown Prince Michael, in the | uniform of a cadet of the Aeronautical School, watched every detail of the ceremony with utmostinterest. Villagers Up at Dawn. The day was the merriest the popu- tior* of the staid Summer resort of Sinaia ever experienced. The villagers were up at dawn. The entire population lined the roadway to see the guests, officials, ministers and prelates arrive at the palace. Many of the peasants rod bareback on rough couniry horses; others drove in Old World ox-carts, while shepherd flute players, Gypsies and musicians assembled in the erounds and played joyous airs for the rustic dancers, adding to the merriment. Just before the big event of the day, Princess Ileana and Archduke Anton presented themselves to the press and submitted to the process of being pho- tographed and giving newspaper men the opportunity to as were answered frank la ' into town The photo- {graphing over, the courage of the princess failed her when she was re- quested to speak into the microphone.

Immeciately after this civil cere- mony, through which Princess lleana remains & Rumanian citizen, civil pro- tucols had been signed and witnessed and the young couple had been pre- sented to the ministers of state. This done, the procession proceeded to the chapel in the castle, in the vesti- bule of which hung many images of | saints, many flags and many tokens of | royalty. Three hundred nobles, diplo- and ministers there witnessed the ssive wedding ceremony according mats impre to the rites of the Roman Catholic g Church. It was punctually at 11 am. when the princess, smiling happily and lean- ing on the arm of King Carol. who held the scepter of state in his left hand, advanced up the aisle and took her place before the altar. Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Hohenzol- lern, in & Prussian general’s uniform of the pre-war days, stood at the princess’ left. Prince Friedrich's tunic, like that of King Carol, displayed a long row of insignia of various orders. On the altar, around which stood 10 large lighted candles, were three up- holstered golden chairs, upon which sat the three prelates. ;i Mass Opens Ceremony.

FIRM FOR 132 ARMS GONFERENCE State Department Resists Pressure From Nations Facing Elections. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Despite the repeated suggestion from France and other European countries that it would be advisable to postpone the general disarmament conference called for next February, the Wash- ington administration is more decided than ever to carry out the original pro- gram to hold the conference s scheduled. Foreign diplomatic _representatives have recently approached the State Department with the intention of feel: | ing the ground as to whether this Gov- erument_ would be willing to initiate & move for postponement of the confer- ence. Their argument is that important elections are to be held next year in Germany, France and Hungary as well as in the United States, Thus, if the disarmament conference begins before these elections, the work of the main representatives of these four countries | handicapped. ‘The administration realizes this and also realizes, what the foreign Ambassa- dors do mnot say openly, that present politizal conditions in Europe are not such a. to fr-'.tate an understanding Dbetween ti. various antagonistic nations which will be represented at the Geneva Conference. 1t appears, however, that just on ac- count of these unsettled political con- | ditions, the administration is not willivg {to take the lead in postponing a con- ference which, if it does nol achieve the desired result, will at least. show which nations are preventing a general settlement of the world on a peaceful basis. Suspicion and Jealousy Rampant. | jealousy are more rampant today than | ever before. Yet, in spite of these un- | favorable signs, the State Department at President Hoover's instruction is getting ready for the Geneva Confer- ence nd will not abandon it unless the powers_which nitely decide that it should not be held Despite the unsettled situation in Europe, the bellef of the administration is that the abscess from which Europe is suffering most—heavy armament ex penditure—must be opened. The ad- ministration is going to that conference with a clear conscience; during the past month it has done all in its power to help Europe, &t a heavy cost to the American taxpayer and without show- ing any partiality to a single European tate. Furthermore, when this administra- tion had the possibility of isolating France politically it refused to do s0. although there were many who advised the President to make such a political move. Immediately after the Hoover plan for an intergovernmental debt and reparations holiday was known France did not react favorably, most of France’s allies, with the exception of Belgium, were prepared to abandon her The President was urged to go ahead with his original plan regardless of Prance. decided that sigce this country reacted | favorably European countries to co-operate in the economic as well as the political field, it would be unwise to isolate France. Consequently, he made up his mind to give in to the French as much as was compatible with the spirit of his plan. As a result. today France maintains her | system of alliances and is likely to pre- sent a united front at the coming gen- eral disarmament conference, Jeopardy Realized Here. It is realized here, however, that the prospects of a successful end of the Geneva parley will be jeopardized if an agreement between France and Ger- many is not reached in time. While the United States Government cannot di- rectly ask the Germans to make certain political concessions to France, Chan- cellor Heinrich Bruening is being ad- vised by the President’s emissaries that it would be wise for the German gov- ernment to make certain moves which might be agrecable to France. Abandonment of the construction of the second pocket cruiser is considered here as a most likely move for Germany to make. In view of the disastrous eco- |nomic situation of Germany, it is thought here that the Bruening cabinet | would not meet with very serious oppo- sition from the nation if it announces | that it intends to postpone further work Westinghouse Electric Refrigerators < MUDDIMAN ¢ . for as low as 911 G St. Nat’l 0140-2622 Organized 1888 K / Saveyourhair! 1 , *baldneSSsuccumbs ' \ B4 tothisscientific method. requirements of your individual case are analyzed by our expertswho examineyour scalp.

ARCACHON, France, July 27.—Andre Maginot, minister of war, told the Re- serve Officers’ Unlon convention today that if Germany should recover com- plete liberty to rearm, France would be obliged to increase her own arma- ments. This, he sald, would start a new armaments race which France does not desire at any price. He declared France is ready to do her share in a general | limitation of armaments, but no limita- Ition would be efficacious unless guar- antees of an international replace the security now provided by military forces. If the delegates to next year's dis- on that cruiser. The German National- ists would undoubtedly oppose it, but the bulk of the German nation would undoubtedly approve such a measure. An official denunciation of patriotic societies is also considered here as a (wise and harmless move which would |please France greatly without harming Germany. ‘Then, as to the question of the Austro-German customs union scheme, it is now before the World Court at The Hague, and consequently nobody expects the German government to take any step to give up that project until the decision of the international judges is known. This decision will be known in & few days, and if by any chance |the Court finds against Germany, the | international situation, it is expected, would improve 100 per cent. Stimson Stresses Understanding. | Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, | who has spent two days in Berlin, has had long and interesting conversations with the German minister of national defense and with other German lead- ing politicians. He is said to have told them quite plainly that an under- standing between France and Germany is important in order to bring about |an economic revival in Germany. Mr. Stimson is reported to have borne | out’what Chancellor Bruening has un- doubtedly told his colleagues, nemely, that the French government is in a | mood of coming to an understanding with Germany, but that it is essential | for Germany to take the first step and convince French public opinion that | Germany is not asking for financial help in order to reinforce her national | defense and then to demand a revision of her frontiers as drawn by the treaty of Versailles.

Special Dispatch to The Btar. ! NEW YORK, July 27.—The last of the 10 yachts officially entered in the trans-atlantic yacht race have reached Plymouth, England.

It was barred from the race because officials ruled that it was unseaworthy. The only fault to be found with the ruling is that Walter and his 18-year-old brother, Kou, had already sailed the sloop from Esthonia to New York—11,000 miles by the route they took—which might ordi- narily be considered reasonable evi- | dence of seaworthiness.

Kou Walter stayed behind when Ahto safled their sloop to Newport, and visited friends in and around New York Now he is on the high seas again, this time as able-bodied seaman on a boat for which he signed with so little com- motion that the Esthonian consulate general does not even know what the ship is. He is expected back in New York with his ship within & month. ‘The two Walters are students in the National Navigation School of Esthonia. When they graduate, they will be com- missioned as officers in the Esthonian merchant marine.
