LONDON, Aug. 5.-The departure OF
the Prince OF Wales for Canada and the
United States to-day aroused great in
terest here and a very hearty sendoff
was given TO him by a large crowd at
the station. When the Prince arrives in
America 1t will be in his official ca
pacity as Prince of Wales, unlike King
Edward, who. when he visited the
United States in 1850 as Prince of Wales
bore the title OF Baron Renfrew.
When 1t was suggested to the present
Prince that in accordance with prece-
dent he should travel as Baron Renfrew
ne promptly overruled the suggestion
and was supported by the King.

named G. c. Whiting. who had pre-
viously been attached to the 43d
squadron of the royal air force. vis-
tied his former comrades at Touquin,
France. and brought with him an Of
ficer of the United States marine
corps. Whether this officer was
Capt. Chamberlain. the squadron
commander, Maj. C. c. Miles, was
unable to say in his testimony.
The visitors, Maj. Miles added. re-
turned the same afternoon by auto
mobile to Paris. The major said
Chamberlain never flew with his
squadron to his knowledge and that
no machine was borrowed or stolen
during July. On cross. examination
Mai. Miles testified no record would
be kept of such visit.
Maj. Miles admitted many pilots of
the squadron were sick at the time
from influenza. He admitted also pi-
lots put on their flying clothes in the
hangers.

commander in the squadron sta
toned at Corteville last July. testi-
fed that the signature &C. N. Lowe"

Lowe in the royal air force with those
initials. Lowe said he did not know
of any officers of the names appear
ing on other alleged British reports.
He declared he never saw Chamber
