LONDON, Dce. 19.—~London’s swanky Westend night clubs are going to lose their most dis- tinguichcd patron for a few months. Britain's idel, the Prince of Wales, to be the nation’s buciness ambassador again and see what can be done about the Scuth American trade. A visit by the prince has been encugh to “make” a night club and | if business and social talk pall one! he has been responsible to some ex- friends for an hour or so. Still if the night clubs miss the | prince’s not infrequent visits, more stable enterprises in England will not mourn.. England’s industry has been in the doldrums and an increase in Scuth American export would meet cheers. Going by easy stages down the west coast of -the southern conti- nent, calling at capitals and chief cities, the prince will open the British Empire trade exhibition in Beunos Aires March 14. The exhibit, of course, is a dem- onstration of what Britain has to offer and a bid for more business. But for all his gay doings the prince has a decidedly serious side and carries through anything he undertakes. Five years ago he made his first conquest of South America. This time he goes armed with a greater maturity—he is 36, although his looks belie it—a firmer knowledge of the needs .of the empire. and, perhaps most important for this trip, a good working command of Spanish. He has been at his study of Spanish assiduously with special tutoring for several months. His professor is - enthusiastic over his work and the prince has progressed far enough even to venture to use the new tongue publicly when ad- dressing Spanish groups. His listeners have been charmed so completely that the prince's Spanish, good or bad, accent or not, is expected to play no small part in this second conquest of the pampas. Then, too, H. R. H. can tango, and rather well. When he returned Italy Lines War Frontier With Great Mausoledms By ANDRUE BERDING TRENTO, Italy, Dec. 19.—The 1840 military cemeteries scattered along Italy's war-torn northeastern fiontier, embosoming the bodies of 300,000 , Italians and 200,000 Aus- | trians, are being regrouped into a dozen monumental mausoleums. The bodies of American soldiers who died in Italy have been car- ried back to the United States, but | each year on Memorial Day a great “bell of the fallen” tolls | from the ruins of a medieval castle | at Rovereto in their honor. And a bronze tablet on the municipal palace of Riva on Lage Garda re- cords the participation of the 32nd Regiment of the American Expe- ditionary Force in the battle of Oc- tober 24, 1918, against the Aus- trians. But the Itallan and Austrian dead have been buried where they fell, often side by side. In conse-| quence, the former battlefront has become a chain of cemeteries.

C., Dec. 19.~} In a hearing before the House Committee on Merchant Marine| and Fisheries, on a bill to limit! operations of floating canneries in Alacka waters, Delegate Sutherland renewed his leng-standing fight on the personnel of the United States| ! Bureau of Fisheries, charging them | [ with protecting monopolies of fish- | /ing rights through favoritism in | administration of regulations. He | opposed any extension of the au- {thority of the Commissioner of | Fisheries. He asserted the trouble was not | with the law but with the manner | {in which it was administered by! | Henry O'Malley, Commissioner of | Fisheries. | Mr. O'Malley, who preceded the | Delegate before the Committee, tes- tified the bureau needed the bill | under consideration to enable it to | efficiently protest the salmon runs| | extensive the fishing would be. | The measure was introduced by | Representative Welch, Republiean, of California. It would require cannery operators to serve notice |in advance of their operating pro- grams. It would prohibit, also, | operation of any individual cannery at more than one location in any single season, thus striking directly at floating canneries which move . from one area to another as the runs -occur. Capt. W. J. Peterson; represent- ing the Ship Owners' Association ! of the Pacific Coast, sponsored the bill, declaring it was for protection against “fishermen bootleggers™ ! which, he added, referred only to floating plants. | Peter Olsen, President of the Al- aska Pishermen’s Union of Sanj Francisco, also supported the meas- ' ure. He declared the floating can- neries “go up there and take as| much as they want, reducing the| supply of fish and disorganizing the regulations.” Representaive Welch, author of! the bill, declared the floating can-! nerymen “come from nowhere and go anywhere they please.” e S U.S.HELDUP | AS EXAMPLE LONDON, Dec. 19 —Former Pre- mier David Lloyd George today referred to President Hoover's re-| lief expenditures and asked why Great Britain was not following suit. .

GOOSE “PINCHED"” ST. LOUIS, Dec. 19—The “beep-beep” 9nd other sounds of variéd auto horns usually do not worry Officer William Phelan, Adonis of the traffic squad, in the least, but today was differ- ent. An unfamiliar “honk- honk” sounded back of him as he was waving automo- biles across a busy down- town street intersection, and then something hit him in the back. Angered, Officer Phelan hastily recovered his equili- brium and aplomb and turn- ed, prepared to give a care- less flivver driver a bit of select traffic cop language, only to see the object that hit*him was .a large wild goose. Policeman Phelan sprang to action and the goose be- came a prisoner. The Phelans will have wild goose for Christmas dinner. t | | i 'MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS AGAIN HITS SNAG Jo Your Christmas S 7{{6 \—3:‘} 4 CIAR'S REMANS SAID TO BE IN VAULT IN PARIS Were Spirited Through ho PR !

Smokers in Germany Favor Cheap Cigars| BERLIN, Dec. cent cigar is to America the 10- pfennig smoke is to Germany. Latest official statistics show Germans are smoking approximate- ly 6,500,000,000 cigars annually, of which 1,750,000,000 fall in the 10-| pfennig class. Since 10 pfennigs si approximate- ly 2% cents, smoking probably is a less costly habit here than in America—unless one smokes cigar- ets, which are decidedly more ex- pensive here. e Would Remove Ban On Certain Veterans WASHINGTON, D.
