announced by cable from the British
Foreign Office that the Prince of
Wales will travel in the British war-
ship Renown from a. Canadian Atlan-
tic seaport to New York, and thence
proceed to Washington, where he will
spend a week -end at the White House
as the guest of President Wilson. This
is to be the extent of his' visit to the
United States.
So endeth the trials of the DWG-
matic Service, which for weeks has
been the victim of a tangle of red
tape and wireepulling front Newport,
Lenox and other fashionable resorts.
The officials feel as greatly relieved
as would the Senate it the Peace
Treaty were out of the way.
The projected visit of the Prince
caused a wild flare-up in social circles.
Precedents were hunted up, and days
and nights devoted to social man-
oeuvring. Certain • Newport and
Lenox leaders cabled Queen Mary, and
every resource known to arebitious and
wealthy social leaders wait exhausted.
Everybody wanted the Prince. • It was
recalled that his grandfather, •
Xing
Edward VII., when Prince of Wales,
accepted hospitalities here sixty yew%
ago, and his hosts and hostesses be-
came historical figures socially as the
result. This gave increased zest to
the struggle. ,
It has resulted in spectacular social
strife. Mrs. Ten Millions at New-
port, who happens to. have a social
standing in England, sought to out -
Manoeuvre Mrs. Twenty Millions at
Lenox, who also bas been received by
royalty abroad, and has given bouieti-
fully to British War charities. But

being moved by the insistent pleadings
and rpanipulations, has determined to
restrict the Prince'e Vieit to a week-
end invitatibn from President Wilson

TO NEGOTIATE WITH CHINA
FOR RETURN OF SHANTUNG
Tokio Special :Cable— ('By the
Associated Press)—Kenkichl Yoshiz-
a,wa, former Committer of the Japan-
ese Legation at Pekin, left here to -day
for the Shantung Peninsula, to con-
duct a special investigation of condi-
tions there preparatory to negottetions
with China for the return of Its sov-
ereignty over the territory controlled
by Japan under the, German peace
terms. The negotiatious, officials in-
dicated, would be Initiated after the
ratification of the peace treaty by the
Privy Council, which officials said
they expected would take place before
Sept. 15t1*.
IMuch interest is being displayed by
officials here in the inquiries made in
the United States Senate regarding
the negotiations at tlae Peace Confer -
once which resulted in the Shantung
agreement. .
Japanese officials said Japan is
ready to make all enterprises in the
Shantung, including reliroads and
mihes, joint undertaking with the
Chinese.
Japan, it•is understood, is having
difficulty in inducing China to discuss
the Shantung question. Failure of the
Chinese delegation at Paris, it is said,
to sign the peace treaty, is proving to
be a source of embarrassment.
"TOBY, M. P.," GIVES HIS SYMPATHY
TO CANADIANS 111.0 OVERSEAS
Not Wholly or Primarily
Responsible for the B.:e-
el:int Troubles..
• ,„.
'London Cable—((i. A. P.)— Sir
denry Lucy, known to untold thou -
ands of English-speaking folk as
Toby, M. P.," lu the columns or
'Punch,' has just contributed to the
•"'Westminster Gazette" a sYmPathetle
sketch of the trial of tWo Canadian
soldiers at the quarter sessions at
Hythe, where he sits as one of the
'great unpaid." The proceedings, lee
says, created a painful feeling, not
free from resentment, at the convic-
tion that, as not infrequently happens
thlee Balaclava days, "someone has
blundered." •
After describing how the jury, in
.l.he face of fairly clear evidence, found
'a verdict 'of "not guilty" in both cases,
'one of which was the breaking of a
plate glass window, "Toby, P„"
adds:
"The action was lacking in logic,
and had other, even more serious,
'drawbacks. 'But it is emblematic of
a state of feeling that has found ex-
tpression ona large scale .at Hyl ahd
Ascot. These poor fellows, awaiting
the final stage of demobilieation,
'Canadians and Australians, heartsick
for Immo, find themselves, for rea-
sons uneccountable to them, detained
in camps with nothing to do for the
livelong. date When night comes,and
the mettle houses' open, Satan, at his
proverbial genie, finds work for idle
tends to do. There will, I fancy, be
general agreement with the obvious
conviction of the Kentish jury that
our brave soldiers are not wholly or
primarily responsible for the lamen-
table 'consequences."

ROMANS CHECK

.
`,Counter -Offensive is Suc-

Communists Would Destroy
Pro -Ally Nation..
Paris Cable — A Bucharest de-
spatch dated Thursday says the Hun-
garians last Sunday started an offen-
sive with eight or nine divisions,
overwhelmed the Roumanian ad-
vance guards and crossed the Theiss
river at several points, but suffered
a severe check in the northern sector
of the fighting front. •
The despatch adds that Roumanian
reserves on Tuesday counter -attacked
and recaptured Hodmezo-Vasarheht
(14 miles northeast of Szegedin), but
that sharp fightieg continued when
the despatch was filed.
It is the intention of the Hungar-
ians, the despatch says, to destroy
Roumania, which is an obstacle to
their plan to link up with the Rus-
sian Bolshevik', expecting meanwhile
that those Bulgarians and Austrians
who are dissatisfied with the peace
conference decision will join the ranks
of the Bolsbevists.
The first port of call is the most plc
tureeque spot along all these coasts.

Recruited in Canada for In-

London Cable The Primo of
Wales ban been 'appointed colonel -in -

Regime% (Royal Canadians).
During the Indian Mutiny, the first
regiment to be recrUlted in Canada
tor service in eke British army was
leased, and became the' 190th Prince
of Wales Royal °anathema, All the or-
iginal reenthere were Canadiane, but
recruiting for the regiment ceased. in
Canada in 1861, and when it returned
there afx years, later, meet of the or-
iginal remitting menmere ocured
their discharge. When the Britisli
army was organized on the Cardwell
Territorial principle, the 100th became
the Leineter Regiment, but it has al-
ways continued to bear the Maple
Leaf on the collar, and still possesees
the service of plate preeented by the
Canattlem Government to the 10011*
nearly eixty years back. ,
The late King Edward, an Prince of
Wales, reviewed this regiment when
It landed in England sixty years ago.
Curiouoly enough, this review took
plate in Shorneliffe, where the great
majority of Canadian soldiere, in the
earlier stages of the war, also found
it temporary station. This was the late

TREATY STATUS
NOT AFFECTED
*
If Ratification. by U. S. With
Reservations.
Supreme Council Might Ap-
prove the Changes.
Parfet July 27. --There is much sPec-
ulation in conference circles as to the
what the exact status of the German
Treaty would be were the ;United
States 'Senate to ratify it with reserva-
tions or amendments. This discus-
sion has been intensified by the pith-
licalion in Paris of Mr. Taft's state-
ment indicating that he regards a
modification of the treety as likely,
and suggesting changes advisable.
Many of the delegates take the posi-
tion that it would he posible for the
Supreme Council to approve the modi-
fications made by the 'Senate. Others
believe that approval of the changes
would be necessary on the part of all
the signatory powers.
President Wilson 'before leaving
Paris, was known to have , believed
that any change by the Senate would
make imperative a renewal of the tie-
-gotiations, with all the stguatery pow-
ers. President Wilson's view that
changes must be passed upon by indi-
vidual countries is apparently not
shared by many of the delegates who
are of the opinion that IR Senate
changes be agreed upon while' the
conference is in session they could be
aeted upon speedily by the Supreme
Council, or possibly by a plenary 'ses-
sion, thus avoiding the necessity of
taking up negotiations through the
various capitals,
