Prince Edward Changed From Coddled Boy To Man of Energy By War T : How the war transformed England's mollycoddle prince into a real man of energy is related in an article written for the New York World by Capt. Ferdinand Tuohy, who served with distinction with the British forces in the war. By CAPT. FERDINAND TUOHY. Albert Edward, aged twenty-five and looking like a pretty boy of eighteen, fair haired, blue eyed, and with a complexion jonr epater la femme, has quite as much Man in him as he can conveniently hold down and reconcile with his situation as prospective sovereign of half a million millions of people. It's a case of "Man sanus in corpore puellae." He'8 a comeback?iPhis sounds fearfully impertinent? not from dad, but from granddad, that excellent old sports man who managed to be entirely English and fatally fas cinating, despite his guttural, Guelphic grunt. "All Will Like Him." Anybody who comes near Albert Lclward this next day or so?even Da Yalera?will like him?won't be able tc help it. And I. a future subject of the Mid Albert Edward, do raise my hat the higher to him because, like most people in England, I appreciate DRINK HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill.

USE LEFT HAND Prince Edward Is aftlcted with the "greeters' ague." Handshaking Americans have Just worn him out and his right hand has become so cramped and sore from re peated shaking that the prince has taken to presenting his left hand in greeting. Even upon his arrival yesterday, when he was being introduced to the various officials that greeted him at the station, the prince invariably pre sented his left hand. The action attracted notice, and when asked to explain it a member of the prince's suite said: "His right hand is sore from being shaken so mucji." tarixed into the telephonic clarity pronunciation. "Pip"?Edward Pip had his car blown off the road by a shetl, near Loos, but such is no cri terion at all of his life a a an officer. He was always in and out of the line, sometimes on intelligence work, for which he got his Military Cross, and spent no happier nights than in his own battalion mess. Didn't Like Urndquartera. He loathed having to Join Sir Doug' las Haig's headquarters staff and took his first opportunity to quit it when his old commander, Lord Cavan, has tened off to Italy, after Caporetto, in command of the Fourteenth British Corps. I have several vivid memories of the prince in Italy. ? ? ? A lovely Lombardy evening at the hamlet of Lugo, out from Vicenxa, and at the foot of the Asiago plateau. We are having a drink?a real wet drink ?when in comes a dusty traveler? "leave-bird"?from England, home and beauty. The dusty one flops into a settee, puts his legs on the mantel piece, and opines: "For the love of Mike, give me a Scotch and soda. I've had three weeks acting for the - films, and I'm about fed up." The dusty one had been officially visiting his principality of Wales. ? ? ? The scene changes to a bright and brilliant restaurant. ?ova's of Milan, my favorite in all Europe.

"Ecco una tavola, il principe!" grovels the maitre d'hotel. "Damn!" ejaculates the fair, boy ish otticer in khaki, and turning on his heel, quits the room. Hates Konlowinif. He had wanted to go unrecognized, and anyway hates kowtowing. ? ? ? And then, a little later, I see him step forward in a box at the Con stanaza Rome, and make an Im promptu speech in I'.aiian. though he'd only been a fe.v week* in tlie country. The Roman women fol lowed him around in hundreds, as you say, "fell for him," not singly, but In swarms. I'm not at ill <ur? that one of this young man's chief worries in the future will not be the likei hood of his becoming, by force majeure, the first Woman's King in history. That would be terrible. ? ? ? Think It over. ? ? ? Vow the war has gone ? ? ? and we see a young man hardened by cori tact with life, effervescing with good spirits, of an inexhaustible physical energy, and capable of adapting him self to Pope and tramp at a mo ment's notice.

BRIDE FOR PRINCE PUZZLES BRITAIN Where, on the face of the earth Is the Prince of Wales to find himself a wife? This is a question which all Britain is wondering over and one that is causing a very great deal of specula tion. It Is generally conceded that neither the King or Queen of England have been able to formulate any plans for the marriage of their heir, nor have | they been able to form an opinion as i to a suitable consort for the prince. Matter of Mat*. Of course it Is largely a matter of state and the prince's hand will be bestowed, sad as It may seem, where it will accomplish the most good. There Is in existence a prettv story about a youthful love affair involv ing the prince and the (?r/ind I Michess Olga. daughter of the former Czar of Russia, but that, of course, is alt past now. Then, early in the war. it was ru mored that the prince might marry Princess Victoria, daughter of the for mer German Kaiser, as a means of bringing about the reconciliation of England and Germany, but with the tottering and fall of the House of Hohenzollern this pretty little plan passed over. Favor Fife Princess. Present rumors seem to favor one of the Fife princesses, daughters of the Princess Iconise, sister of King (Jeorge, but it Is not a marriage that would he particularly pleasing to English politicians.

F LONDON, Nov. 12.?If the Kingship of England were vacant and elective there is little doubt that the Prince of Wales would receive the unanimous vote of the noldiers from the front. During: the war he won his way into the hearts of npt only his fellow officers but of the ordinary soldiers by his democracy, humaneness, and insistent desire to get into things himself. It was a constant worry on the part of his fellow officers to keep him reasonably out of danger, and the persistency with which the "Little Prince." as he is affectionately called, would try to get into the front line trenches caused no small amount of anxiety to the headquarters staff. His own feelings in this respect were expressed in a letter he sent to a chum of his in England when he was in Flanders. "It is damned rotten being a prince." he wrote, and then pathetic ally added: "Every day I try to go to the trnclies, but they send me back." A fellow officer of the Orenadier Guards, the regiment to which the prince is gazetted, said: "The prince is a corker. He showed up at the mess one afternoon and burst out: 'I've come for tea and I hope it's i" mentioning the name of a ws?ll known whiskey. The prince's language is by no means royal, and he can and does express himself with a force and picturesqueness that would do no in justice to a Mississiprw river pilot. When he makes a mistake or an oversight he is quick to acknowledge and rectify it. A story illustrating this is told of his visit to Egypt. Accompanied by an officer, the prince cantered by a group of Anzacs and failed to notice or acknowledge their salute. Along their line there ran the sig nal: "One, two. three four. five, six seven, eight, nine, out." The prince turned to the officer in ADVERTISEMENT 0 COLDS AND FLO Influenza and Grippe, Like Ordi nary Colds, Require Calotabs, the Purified and Iiefined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess Safe, and Sure.

When the reason vai explained he rode back to the oversea* men. pulled tip before them, and. with a genial smile and all the ceremony he could command, returned the salute. He is extremely observant, as one inspector at Scotland Yard can testify Whenever the prince crossed or re crossed to or from France he always was accompanied by a man from the special branch of Scotland Yard. On one of these trips during the height of Oerman submarine activity, the inspector afterward frankly con fessed he-didn't like the thought of being torpedoed, so ha took his stand by a life buoy attached to the rail, opened hla knife, and held It In his pocket ready for eventualities. The prince came along, noticed the situation ,and smilingly said: "Hello,1 chief, I see you have picked out your | life buoy." The inspector, with a feigned air of surprise, said: "Why, I never noticed It." "Like hell you didn't!" pleasantly retorted the prince.
