Prince of Wales Submits to
"Cutting In" at Dance.

CoBLENz Jan. IL (delayed) 49, The
Prince OF Wales, who has been visiting
the American area OF occupation as the
guest of Major Gen. Dickman, returned
to the British sector this afternoon. He
said goodby to Gen. Dickman at a
luncheon at which he was the guest OF
Major Gen. Hines in the Castle OF the
Prince of Wied at Neuwied
Since his arrival in the American
zone the Prince had been treated as
an ordinary Captain. which was the
uniform he wore. rather than as the
heir to the British throne.
At the dance the Prince attended
last night II WAS intended that he
should be exempted from cutting in"
which meant that one officer could claim
the partner Of another officer, there not
being enough girls from the American
and British Armies to go around. One
officer accidentally "cut in" on the
Prince. He passed the incident aside
and for the remainder OF the evening
"cut In" and submitted to the loss OF
his partner with the same grace as the
others.
The first girl that the Prince danced
with was Miss Agnes Kann. a nurse Of
Baltimore. When the music began the
Prince was standing near Miss Kann
and at once offered her his arm. Aft
erward lie danced virtually every num-
ber treating the American and British
nurses inpartially.
The Prince is not good dancer
American officers, It developed later,
spent a good part OF the preceding aft
ernoon teaching him the steps OF the

IIELsINoFoRs, Jan. 13.--The organiza-
ton OF the Central Russian Committee
for the immediate preparation Of volun-
teer battallons is to-day a reality. The
initiative OF Gen. Judenitch, helped by
Gen, Arsenjegif. met with complete sue
cess after certain political discussions
between representatives OF the different
groups
Two objects were aimed at: first. to
give effective support to military action
in Esthonla nv the immediate despatch
of troops OF Russian volunteers second
in view OF the general situation in Petro-
grad at the moment. to prepare special
detachments for action when the condi-
tons are propitious.
In either case the approval and good
will of the Finnish Government appears
assured. The committee counts on re-
ceiving the immediate strong support OF
the Entente at Archangel and In other
Russian regions.
The first Russian contingents already
have been formed at Reval under tho
command OF Col. Dserrshimsk and tho
higher command OF Esthonia, Gen. Te-
Nilsson.
