RETURNS Former Austrian Attache Joins Wife, Once Miss Britton, in Washington. NEW TORK. Nov. 27.?Prince A. Hohenlohe, before the war an attache in the Austrian Embassy at Washington, who was handed hia passports when the United States declared war against Germany, returned to this country yesterday aboard the Holland-American line steamer Ryndam. The prince is the husband of the former Miss Katherine Britton, daughter of Alexander Britton. ol Washington, bavin* married her In 1S1?. He left her in this country when he departed and his return today is for the purpose of rejoining her. The prince and his bride had been married only a few months when he was handed bis passports and gfVen safe conduct to his native heath. The RyniAm encountered particularly rough going almost from the day she l?*t Boulogne where she stopped after putting out from Rotterdam. The seas were extremely high and storms battered the ship during the whole voyag*. Almost every one of the 1.868 passengers aboard lopjeed upon the skyline of New York with considerable relief and soores of them expressed their satisfaction that the trip was completed. Prince Hohenlohe was among the most relieved at the sight of the United States. He explained upon his arrival that that section of Austria in which his home is located was given to the new Polish republic and he automatically was transformed into a subject of the new counfry.

The assembly may adopt the principle that the jurisdiction of the future court is to be defined by articles XII and XIII of the coven| ant. thus abolishing compulsory jurisdiction. In which case the question of prizes would be automatically discarded. One thing remains plafti to most members of the assembly, and that is the moment the leaaue makes an attempt to excite the sensibilities or the Englishmen here by touching, or even seeming to touch the question of the sovereignty of British navalism. as it is implied by the prize dispute, it will find itself in a difficult impasse and confronted by insurmountable arguments. Another danger entailed in meddling with the court plan, which Mr. Dougherty. Canadian Minister of Justice, has pointed out, was the risk the league ran in estranging American opinion. Furthermore Mr. Root's Influence in the next administration In the United States was another factor they thought ought to be considered and one which constituted an important rearon for han dling the court plan with prudence.

Randall, of California, succeeds io what he baa now undertaken. Although defeated in the election, the only representative of the Prohibition party in the Mouse announced today that he will seek to have smended the Volstead act to reach the people of the PhilipPines and the Americans in China. While traveling in t*e Orient this summer Mr. Randall decided that the Filipinos were not ready for independence. but that they were ready for prohibition. Mr. Randall explained that all that was necessary was to amend the law extending its provisions across the Pacific Ocean. Mr. Randall has previously Intro-1 duced in the House a bill for the enforcement of the Volstead act In | China through American courts at which citixens of this country are brought to trial for violation of I certain of our laws. He learned j on hia trip this summer that ?ev- j eral American brewers have started operations in China. He cited one of the main thor-l oughfares of Manila where there were about 10 saloons within a dis-j tance Of two miles, thriving largely! off the trade of white transients! who reach those parts on business and pleasure .bent.

While officials declined to express an opinion ns to whether or not the President will take uf the task of mediation, the general Impression at the department is thnt he will. If the President agrees to mediate It is probable he will do so on condition that he be permitted to delegate the actual work to some one of his own selection operating in the name of the United Statea Such an adjudication would havs behind It all the force that the name United States implies, which is the thing chiefly desired by the league members. As understood here, the decision to ask President Wilson to mediate was due largely to outside influence. If President Wilson should accept snd the work should not be completed by Kerch 4. an embarrassing j situation will arise.
