N ro,don. Aug. 16.-(by Mall'' nO had to be elected, there IS one hlas' !,s..a in the British army who would lH bic cross in the circle opposite the put lame e of Edward the Eighth the n"l"s ert Prince of Wales. Young Ed d won his vote in the second battle wei" sToos, The private is runner at .sobed to a Surrey regiment, who was saming back from an early morning ,..ol [ with news of how the fighting ~ . noing He was still in the zone "ss 'rhere shells were dropping with h.+hprsome frequency and was hust- 1ing to get out of it. He saw ap- n-escbing w young man picking his rav leisurely among the shell-holes land hillocks. ,
 .re YOU doing out here?" he demand ed of the stranger. "None of your |bapkety blank business" was the cboprful response, as emphatically rrofsne as his own greeting. Coming nearer the private saw he had been Dcussng" an officer, a second lieuten- ant Nearer still and he recognized tbp grnning countenance of the next liking of England.
 He sought to apologize, but the Prince insisted on regarding the mat fer as merely one of the humorous in- cdents of very interesting war, i Suggesting, in so many words, that 2the private forget it."

He had to stand an even more grilling course of observa- tiOn by the Tommies than other off cers undergo - which any officer knows is sufficient.
 When the Prince first went to France jealous generals, fearful of anything happening to the thrones heir while in their "zone," did en- deavor to keep him away from the danger spots. Intensely sensitive of his prominence, the Prince began talk ling unnecessary risks when chance offered; the only way to stop him was to allow him to take his chances with his comrades in the ordinary risks of dCty The result was that in the streets of Ypres, in innumerable suicide corners" and machine gun valleys" "dead-men's holes" and oth- CT unhealthy spots the Prince has won the complete approval of the men.
