Far East are telling the following
story:
In Shanghai the congressional
party was invited to banquet by
the leading Chinese business man,
a British subject who had been
knighted by the late King George.
Before they sat down to dinner,
the American guests met his 10
children.
The banquet was laid in an
elaborate sunken garden. There
were five tables. Presiding over
each was charming Chinese
woman-one of the wives of the
host and also a mother of one or
more of his children.
Most of the American visitors,
including Mrs. Garner, had been
told about their hosts marital ar
rangements. But Jack had not.
AS ranking guests he and Mrs.
Garner sat at the table of their
host, who was accompanied by his
No. l wife. During the course of
the dinner Jack complimented
his hostess on her beautiful home.
Then he added:
81 also want to congratulate you
on your large family of fine chill
dren. In America, I am sorry to
say, we no longer have large fam
lilies. When 1 was boy, however,
I knew a number of mothers of
10 children"
Mrs. Garner swallowed hard,
hastily changed the subject.
Later she told Jack that his
habit of kissing babies from the
rear platform of a campaign train
was not always adaptable to the
Far East.

THEREUPON, to the mans
l. amazement he handed him a
golden sovereign on which there
was, of course, an effigy of King
George.
On one occasion, after the
United States entered the war,
the Prince, quite unheralded, came
on a visit to one of our big hos
pitfalls. The commander in charge
did not have any idea who his Wis
itor was.
All he knew was that it was a
pleasant young Briton who seemed
keenly interested in everything
that had been done for the COM
fort of our wounded doughboys.
5, The American invited the Briton
to stay to lunch. The young Of
fcer gladly accepted. Then some
off1cious busybody slipped the
word to the American as to the
identity of his guest.
The American became a bit
fustered. The Prince observed it
and said smilingly:
Damn it, colonel, act naturally
just as you did before you knew
who was"

Washington Merry-Go-Round

NIASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The
W threatening shadow of the
United States Supreme Court is
causing wheels to turn in far cor
nerS.
A few weeks ago, Old Guard
craft union leaders of the A. F.. of
L. were planning an uncompro-
missing fight against insurgent ir-
dustrial unionists. Preparations
had gone so far that secret steps
already were under way to expel
the revolving chiefs.
But all that now has been for
gotten. With the prospect almost
certain that the Supreme Court
will junk the Wagner Labor Dis
putes Act and other labor meas
ureS, the A. F. of l.. moguls are
looking for no family fights. The
ominous danger of losing the great
legislative gains they have made
in the last few years leaves them
with no stomach for internal war
ring.
The Old Guard leaders realize
the vital necessity of a united
front, are making secret peace ov-
ertures to the industrial unionists.
President William Green has
quietly opened negotiations with
John L. Lewis. mine chief and
leader of the insurgents, looking
to a healing of the rift that has
threatened to split the A. F. of L.
wide open. AS a peace gesture,
Green has proposed that the in
dustrial unionists have a free
hand in organizing the auto,
steel and rubber industries.
Note-The craft leaders have
tried for 10 years to unionize these
fields, have got nowhere.

then and have no better friend
now than Edward of Wales. One
of his chief concerns today is the
welfare of veterans, especially the
disabled.
His duties in France took him
into many sectors and he got to
know. and to be known by SOL
diers from all quarters of the en-
pire. They liked him and he re-
turned the feeling.
just as he tried In every way
to make himself their comrade in
the war he has continued his ef-
forts in times of peace.
On one occasion after a great
memorial meeting on Arnistice
Day, evening at the Albert Hall,
attended by thousands of ex-sol-
diers, it was announced there
would be. parade of them from
the hall to the Cenotaph in
Whitehall.
The Prince was asked if he
would take part. He said he
would. 1t was thought he would
ride in car.
Instead he took his place in the
line. He was dressed like the rest
of them in his civilian clothes.
On his overcoat, like the rest of
them, he had on his service med
ais. And he tramped through
London streets like the rest Of
them.
TN 1928 when a great expedition
= of British Legionnaires went to
France to revisit the old battle
fields the Prince joined them as
one of them and like them shared
the same kind of quarters and the
same homely fare.
The Prince served in th, war
zones throughout the war. In
1916 for brief period he was as
signed to the armies in Egypt and
thus came into intimate contact
with some of the soldiers from
Australia and New Zealand.
In 1917, after the Italian COL
lapse at Caparetto, it was neces-
sary to send British reinforce
ments to stiffen up the badly
shaken Italian armies. The Prince
went along and with King Victor
Emmanuel visited the front line
trenches along the Isonzo River.
Many delightful anecdotes are
related connected with the Prince
in war time. When he went to
the Italian front he was not ia
miliar with Italian money.
NNE day in small village he
~ was intently studying the
coins he had in his hand. An Ital-
ian peasant woman observed him.
There was nothing on his simple
khaki uniform to distinguish him
from any other blond young Brit
lsh officer. She shook her head
plCtylngly and said:
"Ah poverino (the poor boy).
Short of money and so far from
homei"
On one occasion when he was
driving his car at breakneck
speed along a shell-pitted road
aiming to get a dispatch to some
general in the field, he gave a lift
to soldier on his way back 20
the line.
The Tommy did not know who
his benefactor was. In his sim
ple-hearted way he told the Prince
the story of his life and pulled
out the picture of his best girl to
show to him.

anybody dear to you, sir?"

BY MILTON BRONNER

T ONDON, Jan. %. (NEA)
When the drums of
the World War sounded
throughout Europe in Au-
gust, 1914, and the Prince
of Wales left his classes at
Oxford to answer the call
to the colors, he wanted to
rejoin the navy, the force
in which he had been
trained.
Then, for the first time,
the heir to the British
throne ran up against the
objections that were repeat
ed ever afterward when he
wanted to see active service.
Emphatically it was pointed
out to him that England
could not run the risk of
the future King being killed
in battle.
The Prince made the reply that
he invariably made when his
wishes for active service were
turned down:
Il have brothers and sister
who could come to the throne"
But then an argument WIS
made to him which appealed to
his sense of fair play: It was
pointed out to him that all the
ships of the navy would be sub
ject to attack by German subma-
rines, but once let it be known that
the Prince of Wales was serving
as an officer on a British warship,
that vessel would at once become
the constant target of all attacks.
1t was unfair to the officers and
men of any warship to put them
to that special risk.
THE Prince reluctantly adj
l. mitted the force of the argu-
ment. Then he urged that he be
allowed to join the army. He had
trained in the oxford Training
Corps for just that very purpose.
He was thereupon gazetted to
the famous Grenadier Guards as
a second lieutenant.
There were two reactions to
thiS-his own and those of other
junior officers.
The Prince knew that "tne
powers that be" intended to let
him merely play at being a soldier.
They intended to keep him at
home on home duties.
He determined to move heaven
and earth to defeat their plans.
The junior officers cynically
thought that Edward P" would
be a parlor soldier on whom none
of the arduous duties of a junior
officer would devolve.
AS matter of fact, he was soon
informed that he would be relieved
of certain routine duties and of
certain routine parades. He at
once promptly Informed his SUI
perior officers that he intended to
perform every duty any other
junior officer had to perform.
If he did not fill those duties,
some other chap would have to
