Young Prince of Wales
Has Grown Very Popular
With the British People
•elehieseateateteeesesehieeenageseesteeene
HE Prince of Wales, has won
quite a rentarkahle place in
the affections of not only
English people, but of the
men at the front, since he has come
more into prominence luring the
war. As one young Canadian officer
home op leave a year or so ago ex-
pressed it, "He's all right!: He was
bound to get to the front, and he got
there. Why, the officer back at head-
quarters who was supposed to took
after him was nearly crazy. Suddenly
he'd miss the Prince and he knew
where to look for him th- up in the
trenchee."
Indeed, the extreme eagerness
manifested by the Peince of Wales
to get to the trontis one of the
things that has made the men -re-
spect him.
One evening very early in the war
the Prince was dining *ith the
Guards during e the retreat from
Mons; During the dinner the tele-
phone was constantly ringing as one
officer after another was summoned
and went jubilantly off. But no call
came for the Prince. Finally his
PRINCE OF WALES;
loneliness and depression and appar-
ent uselessness became So great he
could contain himself no imager, and
with tears in his eyes and in a chok-
ing voice, he burst forth: "I can't
stand it, I can't stand it. Themoimust
let me go." And at last they did,
though the Wince from the first mo-
ment of the outbreak of war had
spent weeks in fighting Lord Kitch-
eiser's oppoeition and tradition. The
decorative security of a job at head-
quarters very soon • aitkened the
young Prince. He could not -rest till
he had got himself attached to a
fighting division, had done duty In
the trenches, and had leanaed at
first hand what it is to be shot over.
Recently, after he had taken his
seat in the House of -Lords for the
first tiram he immediately returned
io the front. Had the people of Lon -
ion known beforehand t13.at he was
toink they would gladly shave
tiaroriged the streets to give liim
sendoff, but that is not his way.
rhere was no display, no bid for pm -
Meuse, nothing- that C011iid even .e-
!aotely suggest self -advertisement.
Che Prince slipped away i unan-
'Jounced and unnoticed, just like any
Aber officer. The public did not
even know he was golag until he
was gone.

Are Considering Scheme
Of Imperial 'Preference
C,0:1'4,:+0404P4C44C04:••:•40-04:4-6:44KK-0-$1.66:•<..
N a recent speech delivered in
London, Colonial Secretary /Wal-
ter Long made a ztatement re-
specting trade after the war,
which created lively interest, being
ti fact a declaration of the adoption
ey the War Cabinet of a scheme of
imperial preference. He said the
enperial War Conference was mak-
ing real and active preparations for
me campaign which must succeed
the war to keep trade in the confines
or the Empire. Last Year it was de-
cided this must be a ystem of Im-
perial preference.
He had presided over a committee
en drafting schemes ;by which this
head be put into effect, and the com-
mittee had produced and ;clearly
smirked out a scheme for the adop-
thin of preference within the Ern-
eire. That scheme had the.approval
et the Government, and he believed
it Would have the approval of the
Empire.
Thie cOmmittee had dealt with the
question of raw materials to iteciare
while series of reports had been ap-
theLia first for the Empire, ,and the
prcived by the Imperial War Coh-'
ference and War Cabinet.
Most press comments express
satisfaction at the Government de-
cition—for instance, the Times sslein:
"It is a real step in advance, in that
it marks ant agreement in policy be-
tWeen Gireat Britain and the Dom-
inions. The preference decision Is
the beginning, if no more than the
beginning, of a new order in the,
economic field. Dominion peoples
'have' always believed it to be /thin
and a little more, and have always
advocated it, not In 'Moir own Imme-
diate interests, but as the right pol-
icy for Great Britain and the Empire,
and have always maintained that this
decision for cm' tighist it reeted en-
tirely with the British Government.
Thus in the DominiOne the new deci-
sion, will be taken as a most -hopeful
sign, and that is not -the least ele-
ment in its very real itn.portince."
The 1Viorning Post- welcomes the
announcement of the acceptance: of '
the great principle long abandoned -
and now again adopted -under prem
sure of war, and struste thmt the
preference adopted is broad, ade-
quate and generous.

Swias Shoe Trade.
Switzerland, since the war, has be-
come an exporter ef shoes. In 1916
7,000,000 worth of shoes were ex-
ported to Vranee, England, Austria,
Germ.any, and Italy, in the order
named.
'American shoes were imported be-
fore the war by the targe -shoe shops
and department stores and sold by
them directly. They were bought
outright and retailed at a price
slightly less than the price of the
Swiss shoes. The dealer's profits
ranged from SO to 50 per cent. The
war has brought the iraport of Amer-
ican and other foreign shoes to a
standstill, but, owing to the scarcity
of leather and the consequent short-
age of shoes, dealers wish to import
manufactured shoes from .abroad and
for this reason turn to America.
A large number of the Swiss peo-
ple prefer; American shoes to the
heavy ',Swiss prochict The most • im-
portant shoe factory in Switzerland,
producing half of the entire Swiss
output, is "Bally & Co., Ltd" Schou-
enwerd," with a daily output- of
40,000. pairs qf shoes.
The Swiss shoe industry dates as
far back as 1847, and employs to-
day about 12,000 workmen. 'The im-
ports Annually amount to about $1,- •
000,000 in normal times. The Sikriss
Economical Department is endeavor-
ing to reduce the consumption of
shoes and leather by having hobnails
In all shoes and thus save the soles.

Many Brave Men Rewarded

By Carnegie Hero Fund

HE Caaln.egie Hiro Fund,
which Mr. Andrew Carnegie
originated someyears ago
for heroes in the United
States, Canada and Newfoundland,
in a year has distributed a hundred
and one awards. All hut one of
these went to people in the United
States,
In starting the fund Mr. Carnegie
said: "I do not expect to stimulate
or create heroism by this fund,
knowing well that heroic action is
impulsive; but I do believe th.at, if
the hero is injured in is bold at-
tempt to serve or save 'his "fellows,
he and those dependent upon him
should not euffer pecuniarily there -
Five million dollars of first col-
lateral five per cent. bonds of the
United States Steel Corporation
were accepted by the Carnegie Hero
Pulpit commission on March I 12th,
1904. This commission acts as trus-
tee of the fund and a,dminieters it
according to the provisions of the let-
ter of Andrew Carnegie, dated New
York, March 12th, 1904.

Awards are - paid in two ways,
namely, in regular monthly instal-
ments, as pensions, and in irregular
iastalmepts or in, one sum, accord-
ing to the nature of the need, to be
applied to specific purposes. Death
benefits are paid .in cases in which
the rescuers 'lose their lives as the
result of their acts, to the depen-
dents of deceased rescuers, who have
sustained pec9niary losses by the
rescuers' death and who are in need
of assistance.
Disablement Benefits, Betterment

will have exactly what he or she

The Study of the Past.
The chains of the mind are not
broken by any form of ignorance.
The chains of the mind are broken
by understanding. And so far as men
are unduly enslaved by the past it is
by understanding the past that they
may hope to be freed. But, secondly,
it is nevem really the past—the true
past—that enslaves us; it is always
the present. tI is not the convention
of the seventeenth or eighteenth cen-
tury that now makes men conven-
the present. It is not the convention
own age, though ef course I would
not deny that M any age. there are
always fragments of the uncompre-
hended past still floating like dead
things pretending to be alive. What
one always needs for freedom is some
sort° of escape from the thing that
now shiolde him. A man who is the
slave of theories must get. outside
them and' see facts; a man who is
the slave of his own desires and pre-
judices must widen the range of his
experience and imagination. But the
thing that enslaves us most, narrows
the range of our thought, eramps our
capacities, and lowers our standards,
is the mere preseot—the present that
is all round us, accepted and taken
for granted, as ave ln London accept
the grit in the air and the dirt on our
hands and faces. The material pres-
ent, the thing that is omnipotent
over us not b;ecause it happens te.
