It was announced that he was headed for Italy to join his mother, the Empress Zita, who has been there for the last three weeks. Otto’s trip was considered by in- formed quarters to be connected with matrimonial rather than political plans. He is expected to reach Italy this week end, driving through Luxem- bourg to Switzerland. His baggage was sent direct by railroad. Marriage Frequently Rumored. In the last few years Otto's name frequently has been linked in the sug- gestions of matrimonial plans for the Princess Maria, the youngest of the four daughters of the Italian royal family. She now aged 19, two years younger than Otto, the uncrowned King of Hungary. Reports of their engagement were denied last October. The Archduke and the Empress Zita have been watching with keen in- terest the recent events in Austria.

Von Hindenburg, said Hitler, his voice trembling with emotion, “opened the door to the representatives” of German resurgence, refering to his National Socialist party. ¥ Diplomgats and high government of- ficials were among those seated in the black-draped court of the me- morial. Everywhere were seen the uniforms of various army detach- ments, the Nazl Storm Troops, the picked Schutz Staffel Guards and the Stahlelm, semi-military organization of war veterans. The chancellor, praising the man who served Germany as field marshal when he himself fought as a lance corporal, said: “Twice in the life of a soldier honorable mention comes to him alone—after a great victory and after death.” Reviews Hindenburg’s Life. Hitler then reviewed Von Hinden- burg’s eventful life, beginning with his baptism of fire at Koniggratz and through the war of 1870. “The unfortunate end of the war (World War) can under no circum- stances be charged against him,” Hitler said after praising his victories. “It merely judgment on the inability of the politicians of that 'Ot his carcer as President, Hitler said: “It was under his presidency that preparations could be made for the resurgence of the German nation; it was he who opened the door to the representatives of that resurgence. In his name, & union was achieved be- tween the past and the future.” After the eulogy came “The Song of the Good Comrade,” and played with it was “Deutschland Lied,” the Nazi “Horst Wessel Song,” and the air reverberated with the booms of the honor salutes which were fired amidst the strains of the military marches of the regiments with which Von Hin- denburg had been identified.

The late Senator Boise Penrose threw his help to McNichol, beginning a conflict with the Vares for control of the organization that continued un- til Senator Penrose’s death, in 1921. A year later the death of Edwin Vare left William as the undisputed leader of the Republican organization, his brother Gearge having died several years before.
