the secretary with grin that matched
the Princes and his Excelency was
surprised and pleased to see them here.
He Is gratiied by the contribution which
these ladies are making toward the gen.
eral project of winning the war;
The Prince himself terminated the
Interview with quick little gesture,
which was half military salute and half
civilian bow. Then the party proceeded
by automobile to Oyster Bay. where the
Prince planned to call on Col Roose-
Welt to express his regret over the news
of the death of the Colonel's son, Lieut..
Quentin Roosevelt.
From Oyster Bay the Prince and his

His Excellency, who has been dlned and
feted extensively on his trip east from

the visit 10 tho financial district was
called OF.
His first official appearance in the
course OF the day, therefore was at the

TONED with the emblem of the Red

And your American fliers." added the
prince with a light In his eye that left
no doubt as to the sincerity of his words,
they too are wonderful with their mar
vellous grace and skifulness. Before the
war the Japanese Government prohibited
Its fl!ers from performing those danger
Gus turns and twists among the clouds.
Now, however. our aviators are practic-
ing them, but they have not acquired the
facility OF your birdmen, who seem to
perform all their feats without effort"
The Prince then inquired courteously
whether there were any further questions
that the reporter for THE Sun would
care to ask him. He was assured that
there was. for THE Sun was anxious to
know what the emissary from the Land
OF the Rising Sun thought of the dapper
women drivers on the motor cars.
1t was evident from the amusement
which this question evoked that the
Prince understood at least a few words
Of English, for his features wreathed
themselves in a smile before his secre-
tary had translated the query. II was
also evident that the Prince had dis
cussed this matter before, for he ex-
changed a quick glance with his secre-
tary ard the latter explained that his
Excellency was also greatly impressed
by the women drivers.

the first thing that greeted his eyes was

Soldiers Returned From German
Prison Camps to Have Christmas
Boxes

The friends and relatives OF mer
who were known to be confined in
German prison camps during the
progress of hostilities with that
country, had arranged to send them
Christmas packages through Swift
erland. These packages were ship
ped in October to allow ample time
for the difficult transfer and neces-
sary delays. 1t has been estimated
that 108 cases containing 2413
Christmas parcels and fifteen cases
OF cigars, all designed for the
American prisoners were sent on the
transport Texan from New York via
Marseilles and thence to Switzerland.
These cases have been located by the
Red Cross and diverted to Paris in
stead of to Switzerland, where the
names of the men for whom they
were intended will be carefully
studied and their whereabouts de-
termined in order that the packages
may not go astray but that each one
will be delivered to the owner as
was the hope of the friends at home.
This will be welcome piece of
news to many and the Southern Di-
vision of the Red Cross is pleased to
make the authoritative announce
ment.
