LONDON. June =, 1911.
The Welsh are a most pa trotic nation
and are making the fullest preparation
to show it at the investiture of the Prince
of Wales the 18th of next month at Car
narvon IT would seem that the smaller
the country the greater the patriotism
of it's people The Welsh love their
country with a jealous and an abiding
love- and in music and literature they
never tire of singing the praises OF the
wild land Of their fathers. The mysti-
cism of the Druids and the poetry OF the
bards live today in the inflammable
Welsh temperament.
More emotional than impulsiNe. more
loouacious than communicative, the
Welsh are difficult people to under
stand Especially in north Wales. where
the inhabitants retain their native Ian
suage and many Of their ancient cos
tunes visitors from other parts OF Great
Britain are likely to feel themselves in
foreign atmosphere Not even the ex-
tensive patronage of popular watering
places has made much impression on the
Welsh character. Wales for the welsh
is the cry the children learned al their
mothers knee.
Home of Radicalism.
Wales. as everybody knows. Is the nome
OF advanced radicalism. There are few
To be found i'm the prnci-
pality There is only one political creed,
and Lloyd George is its prophet. 1t has
even been said that the Welsh are re-
publicans at heart, that they have no
love for monarchies. and that the glitter
and the glamour of the investiture will
appeal to the people more than the pres
ence and significance of royalty, but de-
spite their radicalism the Welsh are 10y
ally attached TO the throne.
At time there was some danger
of friction arising in the investiture cere-
mony but this was due to the jealousy
of local bodies rather than to any ma
tional feeling, political or otherwise.
Thanks chiefly to the Welsh party in the
house of commons. this friction has been
avoided, and there will be nothing to mar

he spirit and sentiment of the investi-

ture.
The rites and ceremonies of the invest
ture of a Prince of Wales are more or
less of mystery The investiture COM
mittee responsible for the ceremony has
had TO search through parchment rec
ords hundreds of years old. and IL II

of the son Of Henry VIII the scene at

Edward VI was crowned King OF Eng
land almost on the eve of his investiture,
and the elaborate preparations were
therefore made in vain, but the records
still exist. and they prove that they did
things on a big scale several centuries
ago. When ii comes to pomp and pa
geantry they could give us points in the
fifteenth century or Whereabouts. If the
Prince of Wales wears the costumes and
ornaments set down for the occasion he
will make a picturesque and princely
figure.
Traditional Costume.
According to tradition. the prince
should appear in a robe of purple velvet
and wearing a sword with scabbard
made of purple silk and gold. In his
hand he should carry a long golden rod.
betokening his government. and on the
third finger of his left hand he should
wear a gold ring, declaring his marriage
with equity and justice, while cap OF

should cover his head.
Whether or not modern conditions will
demand curtailment, ii not a substitu-
ton. Of this costume lies with the king
and the investiture committee Anyhow

is picturesque, and IL will he great

anthem, Land OF Our Fathers" Welsh
drama Welsh music. Welsh costumes
and Welsh genius will be conspicuous in
Carnarvon during investiture week a
week of much rejoicing and festiyity.
Coronation Dress Rehearsal.
The investiture is the biggest thing that
Wales has known for centuries, and so en-
are the Welsh people that they
look upon the coronation merely as a
dress rehearsal of the big event at Car
narvon Castle. In the auarries of the up
lands, and in the pastures of the low
lands. in clustered villas and in lonely
cottages the coming of the prince is
eagerly awaited Welsh patriotism is
the Welsh people feel that the in
vestiture is exclusively and completely
Welsh. Just as their forefathers de-
manded of Edward |, prince who could
not speak a word of English. so do the
W elsn OF To-Day desire ceremony that
shall be characteristic of their country
and peculiar to it, The fact that the
Prince of Wales is learning to speak in
the Welsh tongue will endear him to the
hearts of his subjects.

subject OF the suit. The pearls were
imported as "~unstrung' by Bernard
Citroen in 1906. He therefore paid
10 per cent. of their value. The gov
eminent alleged that the pearls were

brief the government says the neck

About a week after the stones were
imported and after a duty of 10 per

to $4,000. Citroen came to Wash

the additional duty and asked for a
refund of the duty already paid and
that he be permitted to return the

The Circuit Court Of Appeals for the

quotes Mrs. Leeds as saying she wore
the pearls a great deal in Parish in
1906; that the purchase was made
there, but they were to be delivered
in America. She placed the purchase
price at $4,000 and explained that
she turned over in Paris as part pay

Washington, d. C.-Congress has
started once more to travel the path
of a busy and interesting regular ses-
sion.

the rush of the opening the comment

1t will be a busy session.-Speaker
Clark.
The lower house of congress today,
for the first time in many years at a
regular session, is in control of the
Democrats. 1t may not be necessary
to remind the country that the last
session was a special one convened
by the call Of the president, and that
its time was given up largely to the
discussion of two subjects, the tariff
and reciprocity, subjects so nearly
akin as to be almost one flesh.
House and senate claimed the pres
enCe of nearly full membership when
Speaker Clark and Vi~ce-President
Sherman gave the authoritative
thumps of the gavel, and the authori-
tative words that consideration of leg
iSlation was in order.
