The Exeter Advocate, 1919-9-11, Page 3OUR ROYAL GUEST His Royal Highness has captured: "Canada's heart. Canadians had heard eifc the Prince's democratic charm fro the fighting men who met him at the! front, and they were prepared to like i hint when he carne. As her future; ruler, Canada gave hint a loyal and enthusiastic welcome. But there is at force bigger and more compelling; "even than that, which draws all! hearts to the Prince as he journeys' across our Dominion. It is his ownI personality, his unaffected, straight- forward, winning boyishness. It is Edward hi„'elf, with ids blue eyes and fair hair, the .smile of comrade=i .ship. upon his lips, the bright, spun-: taneous smile of the genuine boy of the unspoiled heart. Dignified as be- `tbmos his high position, courageous as he piovrel en the battlefield, it is, after all. his quiet sympathy ard;eon-; sideration that has won Canada's: homage. ,.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah:, I y Prince!" The lad's tones, shrill with excitement, his waving cap, and, who knows, his handsome face maybe holds the Royal visitor's gaze. For a moment it was just one fine youth gazing understandingly at another. Then the eyes of the Prince moved on to the bent figure and the grim patri- cian face of the old mars. The warmth ' of his answering salute to the lad was still in his ganee, the sniili-•whu e potency all recognized during his stay amongst us -boyish, irresistibly friendly, still on his lips.

RECOVERING ' FROM WAR STRAIN A despatch from London says: - "Belgium has got her feet out of the mud quicker than any other European country," says a widely known busi- ness man, who recently has been in- vestigating the situation in that war - devastated land. Other business men corroborate that opinion. In his latest trip through Belgium, Mr. Hoover found remarkable devel- opment and learned that the pre-war railway facilities have now almost been attained, and that all the great industries are rapidly approaching an efficient producing point. Owing to the compactness of the kingdom, it has been possible for the workers in all the districts to be made fully aware of she necessity of getting to work with all speed.
