PRINCES TRIP CAUSES
CHINESE CRITICISM
Brother of the Regent viii Come
Here to Study Navy

PEKING, Aug. 2.-Peking was sur
prised this morning by the arrival, un-
heralded, of Prince Tsai Tao, uncle of
the young emperor. whose long and ex-
tensiVe recent tour through the United
States and Europe caused considerable
criticism of the dynasty. Prince Tsal
Tao wished to extend his stay in Eu-
rope, but was ordered to return quietly
to Peking, the measure being evident
ly intended to prevent any anti-dy-
nastic incidents against which the
government has of late taken unusual
precaution.
In spite, however. of the criticism of
the extravagant peregrlnations, Prince
Tsai Ksun, a brother of the regent,
and several less exalted members of
the imperial family VIII sail for the
United States August a. ,nominally to
study naval methods in America, al
though any increase in the Chinese
fleet is not expected for many years.
