TiHE PRICE'S MOTTO
Uncertainty. as to Origin, Now Used
For Splendid Purpose
Splendid indeed was the response
to the appeal of the Prince of Wale3
for relief funds.
"Ich Dien," his motto, which he
wished •used in connection with his
appeal, has never been satisfactorily
defined by experts. The words are
really part of the motto of the Black
Prince, placed on his tomb in Canter-
bury Cathedral, ':Iclr Dien Houmont,"
which one recognized authority trans-
lates as -meaning "I serve a higher
Power."
The Welsh, however, claim a differ-
ent, version for the motto of the
Prince.
There is a tradition that, at his
birth at Carnarvon, •Edward- II., the
first English Prince of Wales, wa3
presented to a gathering of Welsh
'chieftains, It is recorded that his
father, Edward I., pointing to the
;child, exclaimed "Eich dyn," the
Welsh for "Your man."
• As the pronunciation of the ,words
in the Welsh tongue• are the same as
those of "Ich dien," it seems not un-
reasonable that the Welsh definition
is col-rect.
Once a Foe, Now a Friend
A dozen years ago the most ,de-
termined enemy of Britain in the
field was General Louis. Botha, in cone -
Mend of the' Boer forces. At that
;time a little boy of five, his son,
Johnnie, was probably lisping words
?of hate and anger against Britain.
'ro-day all is different. Johnnie Bdtha
is 17, and, without even waiting to
;consult his parents, he left school
and enlisted as a private for active
service.
The Lands In Warfare
? Tho German authorities obviously
believe in the lance. The Uhlan
regiments carry it, and their battle
equipment is certainly formidable, for
in addition to the lance they have a
carbine and a sabre, which io slung
on the saddle. It is interes'.ing to.
note that the Cossacks do not ale
the lance in warfare. Their we-po ;5
are the carbine end a curerd •Ore.

'When the Black Hundred conspirators broke into the House of Mystery to
find that Sidney Iiargreaves, the renegade member of their band, had escap•
cd from the roof of the mansion in tire baloon of Stevens, they came upon
Jones, the butler. After tying him to a chair they subjected him to a hurried
third degree in an effort to make him reveal where his master had hidden the
fortune. After Hargreaves escape they abandon their attempt to learn any-
thing
ny•thing from the butler, believing that Hargreaves has taken the money with
him in the baloon. Episode Two, Part One, shows the butler struggling to
free himself. Removing the telephone receiver with his teeth the butler
calls police headquarters, The p dice soon naive and unbind him. They
