walks on the bridge. He says he never
worked so hard in his life as when he was
in the United States. that he never changed
his uniform so many times a day or faced
succession Of situations requiring such
alertness and a certain Initiative on his own
party. There were situations which could
not be met with merely formal behavior or
the mechanical execution Of a routine pro-
gram.
While conversing with members OF his
suite Prince Henry has alluded to many

been his most continuous impression and

women, with here and there a powerful.

continuing his active sea life are uncoD-
frmed. He viii hoist his flag on his arrival
at Kiel and win resume the training OF his
squadron. The prince will take a squadron
TO England next June for the review at the
