PRINCE IS BEST MAGICIAN IN ENGLAND, SAYS WIZARD ‘Wales Has King and Queen Always on the Lookout for O0dd Pranks.

He said the prince is the best magician in England. “The prince,” said Mr. Van Hoeven, “has a room in Buckingham Palace for playing his tricks, but he does not confine them to it. In fact, every- body about the castle has at one time or another been the victim of one of his pranks in magic, and the Kking and queen are always on their guard against his pulling a rabbit or ex- tracting an ege from their clothing.” John Drinkwater, author of “Abra- ham Lincoln,” was another passenger on the Cedric and reported the com- pletion of two other historical plays, entitled “Mary Stewart,” to be played by Julie Opp and James K. Hackett, and “Oliver Cromwell.” On the way over he worked on “Robert E. Lee.” John S.

(By Cable ¢o The Star and New York World.) |, LONDON, January 29.—The Earl of Reading takes up the Indian vice roy- alty in a far more critical time for British rule than even the Indian mutiny. The native population then ‘was unorganized and without leaders, education, experience in politics or funds. Today that is all changed, and the new viceroy is confronted by a powerful, well organized movement directed by able, highly ‘educated leaders, who have learned the political game in the west and are animated by definite democratic aims. If Lord Reading had' to deal only with the Indian progressives his task, though still supremely difficult, might not be hopeless. But in governing India, he starts with a bureacracy thoroughly hostile to his appoint- ment, pot because he is a Jew, but because he has liberal antecedents. Sir Michael O'Dwyer, who in cold blood approved the Amritsar mas- sacre as the official chief of Punjab government, not only denounces even the restricted measure of self-gov- ernment now given to the Indians as pandering to treason, but boldly de- clares that the policy of systematic. unbending repression until the na- tives submit to British rule is the sole way of saving India for the em- pire. He is the type of man whoin Reading will have to rely upon in ad- ministering_India, for O'Dwyer Is the beau ideal of an Anglo-Indian administrator. The only sort who rises to the Top of the tree. Reading’s patriotism in surrendering the great and dignified office of lord chief justice for this bed of barbed wire | cannot be gainsaid. Moreover, he tells | intimates that he never would have done it for anybody but his friend Lloyd George. If ke attempts to fight the O'Dwverist party in India, it will be in- teresting to see what aid he gets from that friend. POLISH PARLIAMENT WILL HAVE TWO HOUSES Diet Ends Long Contest by Adopt- ing Articles Creating an Upper Chamber. WARSAW, January 28.—Poland's| parliament is to have two houses.
