TWO MEN ID MEET
 ID DECIDE FATE
Ol Remote Little Island Of
 Las PalmaS

Manila, Jan. s0.--Governor Gener- al Leonard Wood has made .a report to Washington regarding tho dispute between the United States and the Netherlands governments over the control of Las Palmas Island. one of the Philippine group about 15 miles south Of Davao province in the Gel ebes Sea. General Wood and Cover nor General D. Fock, of the Dutch East Indies, were authorized by their respectivev governments to reach an understanding in the matter several months ago and during an exchange of visits between the two an agree ment was reached. General Wood said his report was on its way 10 the war department at Washington, but on account of its confidential nature he could not discuss 1t.
 Although Las Palmas is 40 miles within the defined boundary of the Philippine group as declared by the treaty of Paris in 1899, the Neither lands flag has continued to fly over the island and the Dutch government of Java has continued to administer the affairs of the small colony of Filipinos.
 The custom authorities are anxious for the Philippine government to ob- tain control of the island in order to stop opium smuggling into the Phil ippines through that route. Las Pal mas is only one of several islands south of Mindanao which are sery- ing as hiding places for smugglers, the customs officials declare. A num- Der of small islands near the coast of British North Borneo also furnish protection for the smugglers who, in their fast sailing vintas, take the con- traband from Sandalan, British North Borneo, by easy stages to Jolo and Zamboanga, from which points they dispose of their goods.

DIPLOMACY EASY VICTOR
Costume of Queen of JugOslavia
 Arouses Warm Controversy Be- tween EtlinoIogists. n

Belgrade, Jan. 30.-Queen Marie of Jugoslavia, Rumanian by birth and a Serbian by marriage, who is accompanying King Alexander on his tour through southern Serbia has aroused warm controversy between Bulgarian and Serbia ethnologists by the costume she has been wearing on her travels.
 ! She appeared at Skopie in local costume of bright colors on white woolen ground. When the ethnolo- gists in Sofia heard of this, they made the charge that she was wear ing a Bulgarian costume in order to appeal to the sentiments of Bull garian population. The Belgrade ethnologists retorted spiritedly that Queen Marie was wearing Serbian costume. -
 So much local interest was mani fested that finally the question was referred to the Queen herself To the iinquiring newspaper reporter she made answer: T am wearing the costume Of my people and the reason is that find it becoming"

BACHELOR KING,
 LONDON THINKS
Doubt Prince of Wales Will
 Take a Wife

London, Jan. 30. Even those people who spoke with forebearance of the matrimonial shyness of the Prince of Wales are now getting un- easy with the announcement that the royal heir will prolong his visit to South Africa next year to in- clude a trip to the Argentine. This can only mean to these English men that another year will be added to the interval until the prince an- nounces he has picked out girl to be the future queen.
 And Englishmen have listened to the same tale of postponement for the last five years. Whenever the Prince of Wales remains in London for q long period, the busybodies, working mostly through the. news papers, get up 8 series of stories inr timating that a certain interesting will be forthcoming from Bucking- ham Palace, and even speculating who the girl is. Such great expec- tations have never been given a chance to materializc, for the prince has stepped out of the country on trip to his future domains just in time and the ladies in question have, in most cases, married before his return home.
 Now there are not so many eligi- bIes for speculation. The Ladies Mary and Rachel Cavendish, Lady Mary Gordon-Lennox and Lady Mary Cambridge. who were all free ly discussed as prospective mates for the. Prince of Wales, have mar ricd. In fact the list of English girls of suitable age is becoming distressingly narrowed, and as most Englishmcn have made up their minds that David Edward is not going outside his fathers realm for a bride, the prince will probably have to choose his bride from a younger generation.
 So interested have the public be- come in this chapter of his life, His Royal Highness can hardly att tend house parties or dances with out a resounding echo connecting his name with some debutante being heard immediately throughout Mayfair, then down to Southwark and Clapham. Since returning from his last trip the prince has success fully counteraCted this gossip by not appearing at dances and house parties. At the present time there is no girl being honorcd as the prospective Princess of Wales.
 There arc many people in Lon don now who whisper that the an nouncement of the engagement of the Prince of Wales will never come and that he is going to be that strange complex. bacnelor king. Some who profess to know even say the prince has often stated he does not want to marry, So far as the outward circumstances show, the betting is on their side.
