PRINCE ALBERT TOPS WALES.
Heir to British Throne Rival of
Brother, Who spurns Overcoats.

Special Cable 20 Tie Washington Herald
London. March H.-There has been keen
controversy between the Prince of Wales
and his brother, Prince Albert, as to
which is going to be the taller One
OF the first things the brothers did when
they met on their return recently to
Buckingham Palace was to measure
themselves against wall. Princess Mary
acting as judge.
Prince Albert has still a slight ad-
vantage of his elder brother, but the
Prince of Wales has widened across the
shoulders, which fact brings him. almost
to the same proportions as Prince Albert,
who is the most robust as well as the
hardest of king Georges family.
He has a special contempt for all kinds
Of wraps. and will never use a scarf or
an overcoat unless he is made to do SO
by those in authority over him, one of
whom recently received a severe repri-
mand from the Queen when she noticed
that in picture published in a news

KING ENJOYS DINNER PARTIES.
About Twenty Guests at One Large
Table Preferred by Royal Pair.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald.
London. March 2i.-The King and Queen
will dine out regularly this season. They
really enjoy a inOderate-sized dinner par
ty, consisting OF about twenty friends
The King has said that he likes all his
guests to sit at one table, instead of at
several small ones, as was the custom at
royal dinners
Both King George and the Queen feel
that the large board for all Is more So
ciable, and does away with the restaur-
ant suggestion which the other arrange
ment carried.
Like King Edward. King George has q
dislike to elaborate floral decorations, and
quite simple schemes are arranged when
he dimes in other peoples houses. The
etiquette that declared that no one must
speak until the King or Queen addressed
him is no longer in force, since their
majesties, have shown clearly that it is
their special desire to hear other peo-
pies opinions, and not merely to hear
their own assented to.
Neither very young nor very old peo-
pie are, as 4 7uls, invited to meet them.

Raspoutne Scons Idea Of Visiting

try Needs Her Help.

St. Petersburg, March 21.-For the
first time I'm his amazing career Father
Gregori Raspoutine. the famous Rus
sian monk, consented to be interviewed
today.
Father Raspoutine undoubtedly is
the most notorious man in Russia to-
day, not only on account of the extra
ordinary influence he holds over the
Czar and Czarina and all other mem-
bers OF the imperial family. but be-
cause Of his violent hatred for the
Jewish race.
1t Is Raspoutine who was directly
responsible for the so-called ritual
murder trial." in Kiev. which fortu-
nately. owing to the worldwide inter-
est II created, resulted in the acquit-
tai of Mendel Beiliss. the accused Jew.
Unfortunately, however. the trial has
left behind 1t all the sting which 1t was
intended TO leave. so that today the posi-
tion of the Jews in Russia Is worse than
ever.
Talk Over Tea Cups.
In appearance Raspoutine is a simple
peasant. When the correspondent saw
him he was dressed in the long caftan
and high boots. such as are worn by the
rural classes in Russia He occupies a
comfortable, but modest apartment, with
q
round table on which rested a huge tea
pot, Raspoutine was drinking tea and eat
ing jam.
What is 1t you want TO know" he
began.
He was asked for his opinion Of the
political situation. with a special refer
ence to the Russo-German war scare
Raspoutine, who always talks in the
second person singular. like a Quaker,
shrugged his shoulders.
Il have none" he replied. II am not
thinking about these things. / want to
do good and ! want peace in this world.
II is a crime to go to war. What is the
use Of war? II is against the Lords
command to spill blood. We must try to
