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. 044+. 604.04.004.000444(tax.x.:+0 Statesmen in London.1 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. THE HURON EXPO --- ••••••ONM.•••••••••Y••••••••70, 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. A shoe for gendral use, called the people's shoe, selling for $6- a pair, will be sold shortly. — Commerce Reports. Comparisons.

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.

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 Benefit, Business, Educational and Health 'Benefits are all *provided and cases itrvestigated so that everyone will have exactly what he or she needs. In.

In other cases' the tnother of hero who has given his -life, receives the award. In one cage a widoW wifs to be given $1,000 and the father $200. The one award recorded as bestow- ed upon a Canadian was for Herbert S. Johrition, who, in -1913 saved a man from drowning in Suffield, Alta.
