Priest, Fasting For 260 Days, Plans To Die

Bombay, Dec. 20,

Misrilalji Maharaj, a Jain priest,. who has taken no food for more than 260 days, is preparing to die on Mon-

day.

He has willed himself to die then unless the disputing factions .of Jains are reconciled.

So far no effort has been made for peace, though the priest has been moved from the suburb where he fasted to the heart of the city.

In a barely audible volce he said to-day:-

"I am confident I will live until Mandny. After that...".

Asked how he could will himself to die at a specific moment, he said had developed Yogi powers through many previous forts,

A leader of the Monarchist move- ment, Colonel Gustav Wolff, told me: "The engagement of King Leopold and the Archduchess Adelalde is more than possible it is likely. Few daughters of Catholic Royal houses are left for European moriarchs."

The rumoured Royal union, It is felt here, would be of immense value to European stability.

King Leopold is thirty-five, and has three children. The eldest, Princess Josephine Charlotte, is nine years old, It is fourteen months since he lost his wife, the beautiful Queen Astrid, who was killed in a motoring accident In Switzerland.

King Leopold was at the wheel of the car when it hit a stone parapet along a narrow road near the popular Swiss lakeside resort, Kissnacht. It plunged over an embankment and Queen Astrid was hurled against a. tree.
