PRINCE OF WALES AT HOME AND ON THE BATTUM) telf "Nonsense." fie said, "I wint to do It, aftd I'm going to." Arrangements were completed and It was decided that the Prince should converse for a little while with the film hero.

It was carried unanimously that the Prince had played his part very that he got so Interested In the conversion he forgot all about the man who was "turning the handle" and the operator had to stop work until the to a close, when he very snappily began Just in time to get the final handshake and parting of the prince and film-hero. It Is often said by those who King Edward that In the Prince of Wales he lives again. This is perhaps an exaggeration, but the Prince certainly has inherited his grandfather's genial facility of salt-expression, and has more than once shown himself capablo of a witty "bon mot." In a speech to members of the Stock Exchange who had Invited him to "the House" for lunch, ho said: "I have often heard of the terrible treatment meted out to strangers who ventured within the sacred precincts of the Stock Exchange. Many of them, I believe, escaped In cloth- Ing more scanty than that In which they entered the hall. But It Is not as a stranger that I come here, as I have met many of you fellows on the battlefield.

"I am not well up in the technical terms of the Stock Exchange and the words of 'bull' and 'bear' are always somewhat of a mystery to mo, but 1 know that the Stock Exchange has always been a big 'bull" on patriotism." M'COYBARNS One Located Southwest of Palmyra and the Other At Grantville doesn't I matter if I am killed. I havo plenty of brothers at home." When the Prince of Wales was in France that was always his reply when remonstrated with for taking -undue risks. He went on active service at his own request and any idea that during his period? of service in France, Italy, and in Egypt, he was kept la cotton wool would be an error. Right up to the signing of the Armistice ho was never treated as the Prince of Wales, but Just as any other Captain Smith or Brown. During "the retreat from Mons, as he Sat at dinner in mess, the telephone rang incessantly, first for this officer, then for that.

No orders came for tho Prince of Wales. Aching to serve, he seemed to be the only officer tho War Office didn't want. At last ho went to Kitchener and made a personal appeal. The great Field-Marshal's reply characteristically bluuf. "It matter in the least if you are killed, but it won't do If you are taken'prisoner; so you-can't go." i li lu ccArt nt Later on, 'despite this assertion, Princo got his desire and went to France.

Out there ho ran exactly the sanio risks as any other officer, and as there are. always doubting Thomases who decline to believe that a Prince of royal blood IB allowed to run any risks whatsoever, It may he definitely stated that at Vermelles, during tho Battle- of Loos, the Prince had just got out of his car, when a shell killed his chauffeur and partially wrecked tho car. In the autumn of 1917, in the front-lino trenches, a shell just cleared the Prince and ook off the leg of a soldier standing behind him. In Italy, while at dinner, bombs fell outside the windows of the mess, breaking all the glass. The same thing happened In France, when bombs fell immediately outside the hut where the Prince was living as any "Captain Smith" might have done.

One of the Prince's experiences shows an amusing variation from routine. It was on the Somme, in July, 1916, when the Prince with a senior staff officer, was going along a duckboard. They heard a shell coming and they dived for shelter. Tho Prince landed, via a bush, on top of an extremely surprised gunner, who was executing hia morning shave. Happily, the man was using a safety razor, and to serious damage was dope.

"Ouv Kid," "Captain Woodbine," and "Capjain Pow" (initial letters Prince of Wales) are three of the soubriquets earned by the Prince of Wales in France. Those who came in contact with the Prince "over there" probably found him at his best, for it was then his manhood came to him. When be left English shores for active service he was just a natural, and rather bashful lad. In France things were altogether different for him. He mingled with the fighting men quite informally.

He delighted In "popping in" at all sorts of places unexpectedly. These sudden Incursions tended to embarrass some of the men who showed signs of self- consciousness. Noticing their restraint, the Prince on one occasion burst forth with: "You can't be scared of only the name. His unaffected manner very, soon set the men at ease, and knowing themselves to be scared a bit of "The Prince of Wales" they chose their own name for him. Hence among the Canadians he was always known as "Our Kid," or "Captain Pow while the Australians nicfc- naed'-his "Captain because of his liking for cigarettes, "Woodbines" being the cigarettes which find most favor with the The difference between the who went to France and the "man who returned is almost astounding.

Notwithstanding the Prince always, gives an iinpressioa of extraordinary boyishness, this impression is caused chiefly by his smile, and Jhpge who htt'9 hlw sneak. i'ft which he crossed the gulf dividing boyhood from manhood. highest to the humblest of his subjects tho Prince is now referred to as a "man," but more otteu as a "Whito man." Modesty and simplicity are strong points in the Prince of Wale's makeup. He has tho strongest dislike flattery and any sort of insincere adulation. There Is no more certain way of annoying him than to show any form of todayism.

He Is blessed with a strong aenao of humor, which has more than once h'irn to sec the funny side of such attempts when they have occurred. There is the incident of a well- known Society woman, who, to put it kindly, at least has no aversion to seeing her-name in the papers. One of her hobbies is to collect signed portraits of peoplo In the limelight and she wrote to the Prince of Wales at tho time of his visit to Rome, saying that sha thought his Italian journey made him the hero of the hour, and would he, etc. The letter took some time to reach its destination and happened to reach the Prince during the period of the French counter offensive on the Marne. He dispatched by return a photograph of Marshal Foch!

As a little hoy, the Prince of Wales was always called David in the home circle. David was a great favorite with his grandfather, King Edward, who often stole into the nursery for a romp. One day a children's outfitter called at York House with some clothes which had been ordered 'for the little Prince. She was waiting in the corridor when David opened the nursery door and saw her standing there. "Oh, do come in and sit down, he said, very politely.

"No, I think I'd better wait here." eplied the visitor, not liking to en- er the nursery without some other authority, "It's quite all right," said David eassuringly. "There's nobody in here tha.t matters. It's only Grandpa!" When at scribol the Prince of received no special favors or reatment. He had to run the gaunt- et of practical jokes as well as take hia turn In "fagging" for one of he seniors. One day the cadet for whom be was "fag" (an English public school custom whereby a senior boy selects one of the juniors to wajt on him) sent him to the shop to buy some am puffs.

The Prince came back with the Jam putts and six cents change. "You can keep the six cents, old son," said the senior loftily. And the future King of England pocketed the tip with glee, and very proudly related the Incident in his next letter home to his father and mother. Queen Mary consistently Impressed on the little princes the necessity for taking an interest in their studios, while King George mindful ot his 'own sailor days, was always pleased to see them evince an Interest in matters naval. He was very pleased one day to find the small Prince of Wales diligently drawing pictures of ships.

The Prince, looking up, said: "You kaow, I want to be a sailor." "Do you?" asked the King, "Why?" "Well, you replied the young hopeful. "I don't like lessoas, and it don't tafce so much brains to be sailor, does it?" One of the many activities of the Prince of Wales-Is that of film actor.

LICENSE TRANSFERS WERE REFUSED BY THE COURT AT POTTSYILLE Pottsville, Sapt. Judge Bechtel, aftjpr consulting with Judges Koch and Bergor, made a decision of national importance Thursday when he refused applications for transfers of liquor licenses.

The Court eaid that it was the opinion that, war prohibition being in force none of the applications before it ahould be acted upou until the ban is removed. In the case of a widow, who wae applying for the transfer of her husband's license, the Court was told she was selling noth ing but per cent and bar attorneys asked what she could under the circumstances. "Stop Selling" was the reply the Court. As there are nearly 1000 saloons selling such beer in this county, claiming a legal right, the action of the Court has created con sternation among the saloon keepers especially as it is said the Law and Order Society will follow up the de clson by asking the wholesale revocation of all licenses for the places where such beer is being sold.
