PRINCE HAS MISHAP
ON RACING COURSE
Thrown - from ' Horse Again
While Contesting Arborfteld
Steeplechase.
London, March 16. -National con-
cern, for the life of the heir to the
throne received another shock yester-
day when the Prince of •Wales, only
just recovered from a serious riding
accident involving th'e• fracture' of a
collarbone, again indulged his. love of
steeplechasing : and got a nasty spill,
fortunately without' serious. conse-
quences.
Much as the public loves and ad-
mires the spirit and high courage of
the Prince, this incident is certain to
revive in intensified form the national
agitation in favor of some- sort of
check being put upon this undaunted;
spirit which places a heavyrisk on
the successionto the throne.
The event in which the Prince met
with mishap was a steeplechase in the
army point-to-point meeting at Arbor
field, near Wokingham. There was a
brilliant concourse, with beautiful
weether and the Prince, appeared to'
be in excellent health, laughing and
chatting with fieends.before the races
started, He was entered in twoevents
and met with mishaps in both. Prince '
Henry also carne a cropper, but
escaped with little damage. :Both
Princes were unseated early in the
afternoon, but were merely shaken up.
Prince Henry was to ride in the last
event of the day, a steeplechase for
the Earl of Craven's cup, but with-
drew. The Prince of Wales, however,
was one of the eight starters. He got
away well, but at the first fence his
horse stumbled andfell, throwing the
rider heavily on his head and hands,
A rush was made to the scene of
the accident by the large crowds
watching from -various points, among
the first being the Duke of York. An
ambulance was quickly on the spot,
and, bleeding profusely from the nose,
the Prince of Wales was placed on a
stretcher and taken to a nearby farm
house, where it was found his injuries
were not of a serious character
The Prince tried to get up, pro
testing to the stretcher bearers that
he was quite able to walk, but gentle
pressure was applied to keep him on
the stretcher until the farmhouse was
reached. His injuries having been at-
tended to by physicians, the -Prince
ater in the evening` was :sufficient)
recovered to return to Aldershot by
motor car and it was then officially
ascertained that he was suffering
from a slight concussion, which in -
eluded some bruising of the face,

A despatch from New York says:--
Establishment of a banking credit of
'not less than $100,000,000 in favor of

'ed by an American banking group
headed by J. P. Morgan and Co.
The loan is fully secured by gold
held in the vaults of the Bank of
France, which is acting for the French
Government, and will be used to stab-
ilize French : exchange and for such
other purposes as the French Govern-
'ment may determine.
While details of the loan were not
made public ,it is understood.it will
not run for more than one year. In
the event that the credit is not at
maturity liquidated in other ways,
gold in, amount equal to the loan will
be shipped to the Morgan firm in New

In connection with trek credit the
Governor of the Bark'of. France has
issued a statement which sets forth
the . following„points :
1. Complete measures are being
taken to better the financial situation.
2. The French Government is insist-
ing that the Senate shall ratify the
new tax measure, -which means balanc-
ing the budget, and shall approve the
policy of stopping new expenditures.
8. Until the ilnanciai situation has
been greatly bettered, the Govern-
ment will undertake no new borrow-
ings
orrow
ings whatsoever except for funding
existing floating, indebtedness.
4. After such improvement in the
financial situation has been shown t•?:e
Government will make no r.,r loan,
even for reconstruction i i 'the liberat-
ed regions, with .e . sing assured that
the budget fill cover the service of
such new loan.

tirde to envisage and .assist the

This is the first foreign government
credit of its kind that has been . ar-
ranged in this. country.; The only, in-

analogous nature wee the•famous cre-
dit to the British Government during

erican securities were pledged as
to attend the Brith

mand for passports is heavier than
it has been for some years.
No reason is given by the depart-

than that of the need of revenue.

GIANT ZEPPELIN
TO CROSS ATLANTIC
Airship Built at Friedrichsha-
fen for; United States .to
Leave End of May.
Berlin, March 16. --Germany is
vastly interested by an announcement
that trial trips will be made within
the next few days. by the giant Zep-
pelin airship which is scheduled 'to
attempt a sensational flight to Am -
mica. The transatlantic flight, orig-
inally scheduled for next month or
the beginning of May, has now been
postponed until the end of May.
The Zeppelin will start from
Friedrichshafen, where the airship
factory is located, and proceed over
Switzerland, France,, the Bay of Bis-
cay and the Atlantic to America. It
.is expected that the flight will be
made without stops in five and a half
days,
The dirigible scheduled for the trip
will be called the LZ -12. It is to be
delivered by Germany to America on
reparation account and embodies the
latest technical developments' in air-
ship building. In constructing it the
Zeppelin engineers profited from the
lessons taught by the loss of the
French airship Dixmude and the
threatened disaster to the American
dirigible Shenandoah. Many features'
of construction learned during the
war, when the designers supplied
more than 100 airstrips to Germany,
are also embodied in the new craft.

NEW CANADIAN FLAG
ON THE SEVEN SEAS
Red Ensign to ' Appear on
Shipping- Union Jack
Floats on Land.'
A despatch from Ottawa says:--
The Canadian red ensign is to be used
by all privately owned ships of Can-
adian register on the high seas -as
it is now by the offices of the Can-
adian High Commissioner in London.
It will make its appearance wherever
Canadian merchantmen are voyaging,
on the last day of this month. This
flag has a red field, with the Union
Jack in the left upper corner. It has
been called the exclusive flag of Can-
ada, but will not be used in Canada,
where, as before, the Union Jack will
be flown as the national emblem.
The new flag will carry a simplified
form of the naw Canadian coat -of -
arms in the field. It has been author-
ized in order to give to Canadian ship-
ping a mark in contrast with vessels
of the Motherland and the other Do-
minions. For the sante reason it has
been authorized for the flagstaff of
the High Commissioner's office in
London.
The blue ensign will be used ex-
clusively by:Government owned ves-
sels or vessels which, number among
their crew a, specified percentage of
naval reserve men.

Insanit Wave Sequel
to Quake in Japan
A despatch from Tokio says; -In-
sanity, one of the terrible aftermaths
of the September earthquake and fire
in Japanincreased enormously in
Tokio during the five months follow-
ing the catastrophe, according to po-
lice reports.
Results of a police investigation
made public in February revealed 1,-
533 cases of insanity in Tokio. Ofthis
number, 357 reported since September,
1 may be attributed directly to the
effects of the catastrophe.
Police report that many persons
who became violently insane,_due to
their harrowing experiences: in the
great holocaust inflicted injuries upon
