from the troubled land of her ad?.
With her on the White Star liner nl-m

royal couple to Amerie? ?ias no political
significance. Trincc Christopher ?aid
that being deposed felt "heavenly,"
and that hi? main wish was to be a
democrat.
Te> Remain Tare? or Three Month?
The princess will remain two or three
months in this city, Washington, I
land and Palm Beach, at the ?am? ?
looking after her interests, while the
prince, who 1? making his initial trip
here, vill formulate an itinerary that
will tak? him to various poiBts of In?
terest throughout the United States
ard terminate in rejoining; hi?
the Florida resort. They nil! then re?
turn to Europe and cventuslly, they
agree, will go beck to their heme in
Greece.
There was nothing either in the ap.
pearance or demeanor of the prince??
to indicate that she hsd sojourned
obroad for the la?,t ten PSSra, Her hu?
' band, who occasionally ilir-plajrd m
monoele, was se affably dTtio.-ratie a?
his wife when they were met in their
luxurious auite aboard the liner dofn
the Bay. He was dressed in h gray
huriness suit, although he admitted
having no desire to pursue any bo?i
? arerr, a soft ?hirt. black and
checked tie. He ?peaks Enjliih
flsently and frequently it in peasl
discern a British accent, despite hi?
Dartirh ancestnr, manlfeated in the
color of his hair and smsll mustache.
Left Jewels In Pari?
The brown-hslred. blue-eyed princess
seemed delighted at being back in her
nativa country. She was dieesed in a
brown crep?. de chine frock, a small
velvet toque of the aamc color, and
when ?he went on deck displayed a
koliniky cloak and muff to match. A
plain wedding, ring, a double ?tring of
graduated pearls, a diamond-studded
wrist watch, a narrow gold bracelet
with two diamonds snd a diamond and
| emerald ring were the Jewels ?he ex
hibited, moit of her others having been
left In Pari?,

Chrlstmaa with her brother-in-law,
Henderson Green, of Montclair, N. J.,
who boarded the ship at Quarantin",
and her sister, who greeted them when
the liner docked. They will be in this
city for about a month and will reside
m a sixteen-room suite at the Ambas?
sador.
The political situation in Greece, the
princess confessed, waa more or less of
an enigma to her, and add?d that Amer
j leans were better acquainted with the
situation there than either herself or
her husband. She as?erted that they
had been friendly with rhe minister?
who had been executed, but was non?
committal as to her sympsthle? in the
pre?.-it ?.trurele of the eoohtrv.
' Heavenly, the prince exejaimed en?
thusiastically when asked how it felt
to be deposed. "Though I have hardly
been that," casting a glance toward hi?
wife.
He ?coffed at the idea of ever wi?h
lng to get the throne, for he consider?
himself a democrat and am : ,
that hie chancea were very remote, even
"if tho hodge-podge condition? in
Greece" became disentangled and of?
fered him the opportunity, "for, ?fter
all, I am only the eighth or ninth
wheel on the cart."
No Money to Politic?
"I never gave any financial aaiiitanee
to King Constantinc in regaining his
throne," the princess said, "nor to any
political parties or moves. I have
aided charitable institution? and will
contlnne to do so. There arc about
a million in. Greece out of a popula?
tion of lO.OOtl.OOO who deserve assist?
ance and 1 shall do everythin* ??> my
power to continue this philanthropic
work."
Questions relating to her fortune,
which has been estimated at various
figures up to 830,000,000, rather
amused her.
"I do not know?you will have to
ask the trustee?," was the rejoinder.
She declared that the principal always
would remain in Americs. The same
is true of the estate to be inherited
In September of next year by her ?on,
William B. Leeds jr, who married
Princes? Xcnia. Incidentally, the
young couple will aoon join their par?
ents in this country.
The prince?? confirmed the reported
sal? of the Leed? esUte in Newport to
James B. D?ike and resented the criti?
cism of her action at th? time, saying
it was her own property to do with M
she pleased.

I'm g | to be what I have al

Mr. Hays. In announcing the reitric
tion? imposed ls?t April on the produc?
tion or ??ale of Arrnjckle'* picture?
would be lifted January 1, ?aid '
' the comedian had shown himself
entitled to a chance to come back. He
pointed out that Arbuckle's conduct
since his acquittal last spring by a San
sco jury bad been exe.TtpIary.
I.ask? Wont Market Old Ulms
trbuckle's former pro?
ducer, said he would rot attempt to
market any of the comedian's old
films.
Arbueklc was juit hitting hi? beat

At the police court h/aring the
charge of murder was changed to man?
?laughter. Two Juries disagreed. The
third Jury was out two minutes, when
it returned a verdict of not guilty, and
then insisted on signing a statement
completely exonerating the comedian.
In this statement they held he era? In

However, within a few day? Will
Hay? banned all Arbuckle pictures. It
may be several months before they
?re released non-, and it will be some
time before "Fatty's" new pictures ap?

Mr. Hays's statement to-day said, in
part:
"Kvery man la th?1 right and at the

Rp.coc Arbuckle's conduct sine? hi?

proposal for a commission of control
for the Turkish Strait? to-day took
concrete form In a memorandum pre?

The representatives of the United

reliance on treaty rights and agree?

Th? new (,erm?n proposals, which it
Is known ( hancellor Cuno will submit
ii??\t week, will bo given careful
scrutiny, although umalt hope Is en?
tertained that the R"ich Chancellor can
offer anything sufficiently attractive to
stave off plans for th? Ruhr occupa?
tion. It is understood the n?w pro
po??l? will make further advance? to
placate France and possibly will offer
to ullocate a small portion of any loan
the Reich may rec?lv? from any quar?
ter to be applied toward reparation?.
It I? tlio known here that Premier
Muisolini will enter tho conference
January 2 ready to pre?? certain con?
dition? in Italy's favor, including a
leal for French cool from the
mines in th? south. This, however,
is not so important aa th? intention
of th?? Italian Premiar if reports are
correct to demand economic satisfac?
tion for Italy in the Near East. It
will be interesting to see how these
proposals agre? with the open door pol?
icy enunciated at Lausanne by Richard
Waihburn Child, American Ambss?a

Msrqrji? Curzon.
