PRINCE Of WALES
WILL COME AGAIN
Guest of Honor at Dinner OF
the Pilgrims
TO VISIT THE FAR WEST
He Is still Receiving A Large Amount
OF Mail From The United States
And Not All OF It Is From
The Fair Sex.

| London.-The Prince Of Wales was
the guest at large and enthusiastic
dinner of the Pilgrims. More than 300
persons were present. The Prince
made speech, partly serious, partly
humorous. With some modesty he
delivered personal touches here and
there, and had clamorous reception.
The Prince reafiirmed his intention
to revisit America, particularly the
Middle West -and Far West, saying
that the best proof that one had en-
joyed visit was his earnest desire to
repeat it. He remarked:
II am still receiving large amount
of mail from the United States and
not all of it from the fair sex" which
provoked great merriment.
Another spontaneous touch was
greatly cheered. Referring to the
chaifman's remark that the Prince,
after his tour, was again domiciled as
citizen of England, Wales said: Il
hope am domiciled as citizen of the
British Empire"
The Prince also referred to his
status as a freeman of the city OF
New York.
Wearing the broad blue ribbon of
the Garter and his war medals, the
Prince shook hands with all the guests
as they arrived.
"My right hand is in pretty bad con-
dition from handshaking: l hope the
Pilgrims won't mind if use my left"
he remarked to the chairman, Lord
Desborough, exhibiting his right hand.
which was red and swoolen. 1t was
noted, however, that to the older men
he gave his right hand, while to the
rank and file he gave his left.
The Prince spoke lengthily, with as
surance and ease and in strong voice,
which surprised his hearers.
The Earl of Reading, Lord Chief
Justice and former Ambassador to the
United States in toasting "Our Ameri-
can Brethren" humorously remarked
that perhaps he should have invited
the Pilgrims TO drink the toast in
water.
The American ambassador, John w.
Davis, in responding. said that it was
much to be regretted that in the past
the two English-speaking nations had
no anthem in common. Now they
could both sing one. anthem in unison
God bless the Prince of Wales"
Rear Admiral Harry S. Knapp, COM
mander of the American naval forces
in European waters, sat at the right
Of the Prince, both smoking big cigars
and apparently having merry con-
versation.

PEACE COUNCIL !.
HAS D|SBANDED
Leaves Adriatic Problem In
Complete Deadlock
BOTH SIDES STANDING PAT
Jugo-SIavs Submit Their Final Erop-
osition, Which Premier Nitti
Declared Unaccept-
able.

Paris.-The Supreme Council dis
banded Tuesday night without settling
the Adriatic question. Signor Nitti,
the Italian premier, left for Rome and
David Lloyd George, the British
prime minister, departed for England
M. Clemenceau indicated that he
would turn over the affairs of the
Council Immediately.
The Jugo-Slavs submitted to the
Supreme Council their supreme eff
fort" in the way of concessions to ef-
feet an agreement with Italy.
The Jugo-Slavs accept International
ization under the League of Nations
for Fiume and cara, concede to Italy
the islands of Iussin and PelagoZa,
and agree to the Standardization OF
the Adriatic islands with the condi.
tion that the island of LISA remain
Jugo-Slav.
The right of the Italians in Dalmatia
to choose Italian nationality without
leaving Jugo-Slavia is recognized by
the Jugo-Slavs, who also agree that
Italian national rights in Dalmatian
industries shall be guaranteed by an
international convention. They refuse
to make any alteration of the line
drawn by President Wilson. The note
says the desire of the Albanians for
independence will be respected.
Premier Nitti, of Italy, declared that
he stood by his ultimatum that if the
Jugo-Slavs did not accept Italy's terms
he would withdraw his compromise Of
fer and that Italy will demand that
France and Great Britain execute
purely and simply the Treaty Of Lon
don Of April, 1915"
Prior to the breaking of the Coun-
Gil the Jugo-Slav reply to Italys de-
mands had been presented. Signor
Nitti declared the terms unacceptable.
The Jugo-Slav note said it constituted
"the supreme effort" of Jugo-Slavia to
bring about an agreement with Italy.
This fact, taken in connection with
Premier Nitti's statement apparently
leaves the situation tense one.
The Council held further discus
sion on Great Britain's announcement
of her inability to send her quota of
troops into the plebiscite areas. The
discussion resulted in the British Of
fering to send naval detachments, to
Memel and Danzig.
During the session Hugh G. Wallace,
American ambassador; Premier Lloyd
George, Premier Nitti and Baron Mat
sui, the Japanese Ambassador, ex.
tolled NJ. Clemenceau in brief formal
farewell addresses.
No definite arrangements were made
by the Council before disbanding for
turning over the Turkish, Adriatic
and other problems to other hands, blu,

ference of ambassadors would be EN-
powered soon to continue this work.
