“OLD AND SICK”
D’ANNUNZIO PLANS DEATH United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 4. A British United Press Association message from Gardone says that Gabrielle d’Annunzjb, the Italian poet and patriot, 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 the friend, is the real meaning of d’Annunzio’s recent message in which he said. “I am an old and sick man, so I am going to hasten my end.” He will be 74 on March 12.”
