It will !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, around.

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.

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.
