!be of interest, therefore, to recall tae
!Close commotion which His Royal
Ilighueas has already established with
!the fighting, men of Canada, both in
(France and in England. For several
(weeks the Prince was attached to the
;Canadian Corps in France, and the
!cordial relations which were then ere-
(ated between His Royal Highness and
ahe Canadians were exemplified some
!few months ago, waen General Cur-
ele, on behalf ot the -pores mess, pre-
leented His Royal Highnees with a 1v -
ng cup, subscribed for not only by
!the offtcers, but the mess batmen and
orderlies also asking thatethey might
be allowed to .contribute.
It is only during this year that the
Vrince of Wales US really appeared
public, so to speak, on his own ace
eount, One of his earliest speeches,
'If not the very first which the Prince
atede as heir apparent, was addressed
to several Canadian battalions at Wit-
eey early in May, when colors were
presented to the 25th, 27th, 28th and
/29th Battalions, who were leaving for
letanada.
"In October and November of last
year," said the Prince, addressing the
paeade, "I paid several visits to the
Second Canadian Division while eery-
ing in France, so 1 feel no stranger
among You to -day, and I know how
often you have all covered yourselves
with glory. Whether in attack or de-
fence, in trench warfare or raids, you
have won renown. Future generations
will recall your noble deeds in the
battles on the Somme, on Vimy Badge,

Tee next time the Prince met Can-
adians at a public -function here was
later in May, when he .was present
at the dinner given by the Canada
CAM to General Currie. His Royal.
Highnese on that occasion announced
his forritcoming visit to the Dominion.
"I was almost going to say good-bye,"
said the Prince, "but that would have
been a most inappropriate term for
me to }Ave used, because I am very
glad to be able to take this oppor-
tunity of announcing to -night that I
a'u coming over to Canada very soon.
(loud cheers). I hope to sail in less'.
• than, taro months' time. (cheers).
Naturally the prospect of a visit to
the great Dominion would have•de-
lighted rue under any circumstances,
but I shall enjoy it all the more now,
and I am looking forward very much
• to seeing so many old friends as well.
It is true that 1 shall be setting foot
on soil that is new to me, but Cana-
dian soil will not seem strange, be-
cause, even in the company of several
of you here to -night I have wandered
over tha battlefields of Flanders whieb
have seeithe exploits of the Canadian
battali ne.t, and by tho memory of their
gallant dead -who rest there would
reem to have a just claim to be re-
garded as the very soil of the
Dominton iteelf."
In June the Prince dined at the
Canadian Officers' Club in Chester -
field Gardens, when, Re one report ol
proceedings appearing here eald,
"the welcOme lie received deubtletet
gave him an inaight into the loyal and
enthusiastic reception witich he is to
experience on the other (tide of the
Allantie."
The Prince was accompanied at Lae
dinner by Prince Albert. "I hope I
shall see many of you again, and I
bespe that will be very soon," said the
Prince, and in acknowledging the gift
of the loving cap elready referred to,
he remeakee; "Of course none of us
enjeyed the war as a who, but 1
thiplt perhaps we =jeered the last
five weeks, because we had the Hun
on the run"
About the same tittle the* Prince
received the freedom of the city of
London. He has made many visits
within the last few weeks to the
crowded areas of Lonelou. wed had
several talks in the efreet with the
inhabitants. Recently he spent a
cheery night at the Savage Club.
At a recent review in Hyde Park,
a young war widow approached bim
and besought hie influence in get-
ting the matter of her pension set
aright. The Prince listened atten-
tively and promised the matter
should be inquired into.
On the day of the great victory
procession he took his place for t'ho
march -past behind the King on the
dais in front of Buckingham Palace,
but a couple of hours later he Wee

Says British Scientific Com-

London, Aug. 10. ---Germany le a
broken nation, lieth in body and
spirit, and a long time will elapee
before the efficiency of her People
is restored; it je declared in a report
of British aclentitite on food condi-
tions in Germany, Mimed, in the form
of White Papere yeeterday. The war-
time semi -starvation et the people is
responsible for the OlOwness with
which recovery will be effected, ac-
cording to these authorities.
The report Jt signed by Henry
startling, professor of physiology.
University College, London, who
had aeeocigted with him in hie in-
vestigations A, P. McDougall, chief
of the Scotland Liv a $tock Coveralls -
filen, and 0. W. Guillebaud, Fellow
Of St. John's, Cambridge. They in-
volved etvo visits tit Germany. The
observationa of the efficials were
made from talks with women at the
markets and laborers at werit.
"Under preeent condttions," the
report said, "the reams, With other
food obtainable, are eufficlent to
maintain the population at their
diminished weight, provided na strain
is thrown on their cortatitutiOna eith-
er by work or infection, for their
-Power of resletance are reduced to
the low ebb."
The report palette out that the
birth-rate is largely diminished, and
the development of ehildren, hact
been, interfened with not only from
lack of nouriehrneut of mothere, but
the defectiVe• eileaPlY a goer milk.
Three yeara of insufficient meat not
only reducedeto a low levet the vital-
ity and efficiency of a great bulk of
the urban pbMilation, the inVestiga.-
tors report, but had a marked in-
fluence on .the nation's mentality.
The report centinues:
"Among the -lover and middle
class the chief defept noted is the
general apathy, listlessness and hope-
leeenees. Antong tbe men the feeling
of mental and moral prostration Is
most striking; and'llopeless despairing
against the eutere for themselves and
the country. The contrast of the men-
tality of theee men with their over-
bearing self-Onfidence 'before the
war is impresaive. They seem to have
lost their nationality, and in their
point of view', noaclienge, not even
death itself, can be worse.
"The war 'diet o inadequate la
quantity and quality, signifies slow
starvation, and a number of deaths
have actually occurred ae a result ot
these conditions, eepecially among
inmates of jails, asylums and other
institutions, who aro unable to add
to their rations.
"The opinion was expreesed that
if the Alliee will supply the neces-
sary working capital to restart Ger-,
man machinery, they will acquire a
measure of control which could be
obtained in no other way, and
would certainly steady the contribu-
tion to the expensee rind damages of
the war."
The immediate needs ef the Ger-
mans, the report says, are the fol-
lowing: Feed for Workers, concen-
trated feeding etuffe, manures for
agricultural purposes, and raw rime
terials for manufacturers, principal-
ly cotton, Wool, flax, leather, and iron
and other ores. For food, fat in the
form of meat and oilseeda ie urgent-
ly needed. •

milch cows. Declaring that the foun-
dation of Cermarty'e whole ystem
has been agr'culture, he says: "This
has been undermined to the extent
of reducing Germany's strength by
half. 'A further reduction, unless
external support le given, would mean
the certain collapse of . the whole
etruoture. If thle happens the sur-
rounding nations are alniest bound
