ROYAL CHILDREN’S PERIL
ROME, Sept. 12. Three of the four children of Crown Prince Umberto of Italy, were trapped for several hours between the sea and a blazing forest yesterday when fire swept the Royal shooting reserve of Castel Porziano, near Ostia. They were the Prince, of Naples, 8, and his sisters, Maria Pia, 11, and Maria Beatrice, 2. The children’s mother, the Princess of Piedmont, frantic with anxiety, went into the forest with firemen and estate workers, who tried to beat a track through the flames. Several square miles of the estate had been burned before the flames were checked and the firemen reached the children.
