ROYAL ROMANCE
COMES TO END
BERLIN. July 20.—Tho curtain j
liart been rune; down on one of the
moat romantic lovo affairs tliaL ever
engrossed tho interest of European
court circles. It is that of Princess!
Jxidise, born a Princess of Belgium,
daughter of the late Ring Leopold
amLa Hungarian captain of cavalry,
Qe% von Mattachich, with whom
she eloped from iter father’s roof in
1906.
The Princess remained true to
her Captain through all the vicissi
tudes of fortune until last week,
When the bonds of lovo which had
hitherto proved so strong, were
broken by the dire financial need
Into which the couple were plunged
the war by the failure of the
Princess to recover her personal
Bfccperty Co after a ted by the on
teaoe powers, and also by tho loss
of .the suit which has been pending
tor years for the recovery of her
portion of her father’s enormous
estates to which thB old Belgian
King made his mistress, the Baron
em von Vaughan, the sole heiress.
The Princess, who i3 now sixty

gle and loft Mattachich, who is re
ported to be suffering from a stroke
of {paralysis in a sanitarium at
Bsde'n. The Princess has gone to

rllla i 111 ftain and bandit lender in
Mexico for more than 10 years, do
cli.red thal lie bad ended ills career
of outlawry in August, 1920, when,
at the h(:ud or HOU followers, Lho
remnant o; what bad once been his
army of S.I.OOO men, bo entered San
Pedro, Conhuila, and, amid the
cheers of the populace, announced
the intention of himself and men of
accepting amnesty and settling <lywn
as farmers-.
A few wrecks earlier, Villa had
surrendered to Federal forces at Sae
blnas. Me then declared his adher
ence to Provisional President de In:
Huerta and General Alvaro Obregon, j
later elected President to succeed|
Carranza. Before capitulating. Villaj
demanded and was granted by thej
Mexieun government, one year's pay
and a small farm for each of his
men a grand equal to $2,000,000 in
gold.
One of tlie most, notable escapades
of Villa was his raid on Columbus,
N. M„ on March 6, 1910 in which
he and his followers killed 17 Am
ericans. It resulted In a punitive
American military expedition under
General Pershing crossing the border
and maintaining a "dead or alive”
pursuit of Villa which lasted more
than nine months and cost the
United States government, according
to a War Department estimate,
nearly $100,000,000.
U. S. Troops Ambushed.
In a battle at Parral American!
troopers were ambushed and a numj
her of them killed. On March 31*j
however, the bandit's followers were]
defeated at Guerrero. The Americans
were succssful in a number of other
skirmishes and penetrated so far
South into Mexico as to meet the
Constitutionalist troops of Carranza
who, ostensibly, were also In pursuit
j of the renegade Mexican leader.
| Villa, wounded but always eluding
!hls pursuers, lived In a Chihuahua
jmountain cave for five weeks. It
j was located til the center of a per
j pcndlcular cliff which rose 150 feet
; from a brook on the level plain be
low and from this point Villa said
lie often watched the American
troops. Many times he was report
ed dead. Uj*>n the American army’s
withdrawal front Mexico Villa re
newed his depredations. Oil April
4, 1916, he was Indicted for first
degree murder at Denting, N. M„
on account of the Columbus raid.
"They call me a bandit and the
worst man In Mexico" declared Villa
when he was welcomed to San
Pedro, Coahuilla, "hut 1 would
preserve our nationality. I surrend
ered becauso further fighting in I
Mexico meant intervention by the
United States. It is time for
peace.” In a manifesto he prai'sed
the “good faith, honor and patriot-i

Huerta and declared it was his pur-J

wrote to de la Huerta for school
books and supplies. Villa was said
to have been deeply affected by the
death of a daughter In San Antonio,
Texas, a month after his surrender.
Sixteen of his men, who were among
a number captured by Pershing and
convicted of various offenses were
pardoned by the Governor of New
Mexico in November 1 SL'O.
First Real Tragedy.
The first real tragedy in Villa’s
lifo occurred when General Fllipo
Angeles was executed as a revolu
tionist by Carranza troops in 1919.
Villa admired Atytalo? not only as a
patriot and soldier, but regarded
him almost as a. father. He wept
bitterly when ho received word that
Angeles had been allot. He threat
ened reprisals and later atded in the
overthrow' of the Carranza regime.
Of Peon Parentage.
Villa’s real name was Doroteo
Orango. lle watt born la 3808 of
peon parentage In the little mining
town of lata Neivas. A a a yoTfth
he followed the trade of butcher
until the death of his father and
then he and his mother and sister
went to Weetern Chihuahua. There
he became a cowboy. Many stories
have been told as to bow lie became
an outlaw but the one most gen
erally accepted Is that It was be
cause he killed a captain In one of
President Diaz’ regiments. Diaz then
placed a price on Ills head. It waa
at this time that ho changed hi.
name to Villa. He organized a baud
of outlaw? and beoume a terror to
(lie rich land owners and mining
men of Northern Chihuahua, rob
bing them and sharing the spoilt
with his followers and the Impov
erished peons.
When the Mado.ro revolution
against Diaz, occurred in 1910, Villa
became a military leader in thai
movement. At one time he waf
arrested and sent to .Mexico C.lt.v
by General Victoria no llueita. Hr
was condemned to death by a mili
tary court for ihsiAmhllantion. Ma
dero saved hit*' lffe. Villa latei
escaped and tied across the Texat
border.
Fights for Carranza.
Huerta became dictator after Ma
dc-ro's assassination In 1913 and
when Carranza revolted against
Huerta in Coahulla, Villa re-entered
Mexico to light for Carranza and or
ganize a campaign against the man
who had imprisoned him. I’eont
(locked lo his standard and he b
said lo have gathered an army ol
35,000 men.
Villa’s first great victory again't
the Huerta troops was at Ojinaga
After the battle, 4,000 men ant
eight generals cf the Federal nrm>
took refuge in the United State,
and were interned. In other fi,lils
including Sun Pedro, de las Colon

also triumphant. Then came m
