NEEDS MUCH ROOM
Prince of Wales Taking 200 Trunks, 200 Chests and Big Retlnue Of servants on His Long Trip.

London, March 9.--The fitting of The battle cruiser Hepulse for the Prince Of Wales trip to South Africa and South America is proving q diffl- cult problem, the Daily Mail says.
 In addition to the usual comple- ment of 1.250 men, room has 10 be found for the princess staff and ser wants and the fact that so man. oc- easions, climates and conditions must be provided for necessitates space for an immense amount of baggage, totalling about 200 trunks, 200 chests and other cases.
 One difficulty is, the paper says, that the Repulse is not equipped with a laundry and that'therefore a great stock of laundered things must be taken, as none can be freshencd until Capetovn is reached,
 Some of the preparations have to do with the entertainments at which the prince will be host aboard ship upon his arriva. at various ports. Twenty-one cooks, stewards and walters will accompany the party and sufficient tableware will be taken to serve 900 guests.
