Queen of Bavaria not dead

November 18, 1918

The report of the death of Queen Maria Theresa "is untrue," according to a Munich dispatch, and published by the New York Times.  The news was received by the Central News Agency "by way of Amsterdam."
The new dispatch adds that the Bavarian Queen is "seriously ill."

The New York Times also reports that the marriage of former Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and Princess Antonia of Luxembourg, which had been scheduled for this month, has been postponed until January.  This is based on a dispatch from Basle.  It is assumed that the delay has more to do with current events in Luxembourg and less to do with Rupprecht's mother's health.
