PRINCE CF WALES
DOES NOT PLAY
FOB. PUBLIC
BRITISH HKAPQl'ARTKrs IN
FRA NO.!. Jan.. 1—That the Prince »s
Wales desires to r frain from attract
ing public attention, was manaeste 1
when he entered the freed city of Val
enciennes. With him where Ctnrr.il
Horn. Commander of the bi» t riy .
the Commainler of a Canadian Hi\
ion which was operating about P
tow n itself and other Divisional oo
mandrrs and ^taft atlieers. In
ancient square where stands ’he r a
titv.l Hotel De Yille, a platform ha !
been reerccted. Here' the P in ** . a
British Commanders were received by
the City Officials and local ditffii srfo*
while the troops d*ew up two deep
about the A bur** t»:*
for deliverances v. ere made by tl e of
ficials to which the Prince and Gen
4
rials responded.
A review of the troops fonjwo! an 1
then the Prince with chat act eristic
bash fulness slipped quietly away from
the platform and disappeared into the
crowd, leaving his <ien»»ra!s to stt'*n •
to any further formalities. His work
was done and he dreaded to he tlr
center of more ovations. His field uni
form of khaki made his escape easy
and he was seen no more.
Only one really unusual incident
occurred during th" ceremony arid
that 1 evolved about the goat n asco*
of one of the divisions in the para ! .
The goat had followed in with hi- men
as befitted a prop# r mascot hut ortfe
in the square he was ru#lely relegated
to the rear ranks. It <*hanced that i
number of red hatted staff officers
t#>ok up their position with huge tyv
quets out hack from under their arms.
When the inspection was over the o'
fivers stood at ease again and look'd
to their boquets. They were holding
only stems. The mascot had t^ken
sweet revenge and a square meal fo*
the insult to his dignity.
