(By Telegraph-

The British United Press correspon dent at Gardone says that Gabriele D'Annunzio, the famous Italian poet, and leader of the raid on Fiume after the Great War, is planning death by dissolving his body in a bath containing a powerful self-invented chemical compound. According to a close friend, he .proposes to take this "death bath" when he feels that natural death is approaching. This, according to his friend, is the real meaning of D'Annunzio 's recent message to Prince Starace, secretary of the Fascist Party, wherein he said: "I'm an old siek man, so I am going to hasten my end." He will be 74 on March 12.
