WALES MAKING MONEY, SAVING, { iTO BE BRITAIN’S RICHEST KING flis;'a Plans to Wed. Scrap- ! \book of First U. S. Trip Prized. § ] ) ds on Prince’s me Fill Every Day at Home. BY HAYDEN CHURCH. (Correspondent of The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance.) LONDON, August 23.—The Prince of Wales, now sailing for America, is making and saving money so fast that if he keeps on he is likely to be the richest King of England. Incidentally, he is going to marry. “You can dismiss as rubbish,” de- clared an important member of the prince’s entourage, “the current re- Port that his roval highness has de- termined to remain a bachelor per- manently, and also those alleging Supposed reasons why he will not or cannot marry. None of them has the slightest foundation. “The prince does not feel @t lib- erty to marry until he has completed his series of Dominion tours. But then he will do so—as soon as he finds his ideal consort. Meanwhile he derives a good deal of amusement from the continuous reports that this or that lady is his destined bride. He has kept a list of all his supposed consorts-to-be and it is now grown quite lengthy.” These highly interesting statements ‘were made in the course of an inter- view given to me at York House, the London home of the Prince of Wales, by the member. of his house- hold above quoted, who asked that his name should not be mentioned. Application had been made to him for authoritative information regard- ing the details of the visit whioh the prince is about to pay to his Canadian ranch and his program dur- ing the brief stay which the all- conquering young ambassador of em- pire of will make in the United States in order to witness the play for the international polo cup. Has American Scrapbook. Tt was curiously enough a scrap- book that brought up the much-can- vassed subject of the prince's mar- riage. This scrapbook, which is one of the prince’s most cherished sou- venirs, is no ordinary one. About the size and ‘weizht of two family Bibles, it is made up entirely of articles and pictures from American newspapers describing the prince’s first visit to the United States in 1919, of which it constitutes a complete record. It was compiled and presented to the prince by the Department of State at Washington, as the inscription in gilt letters on the sumptuous leather cover bears witness, and there are few of his possessions, the writer was told, that the prince prizes more highly Glancing through its pages, in Wwhich every jourral of any impor- tance in the United States and Can- ada must be represented, I found one article after another in which the possibility of the prince’s marrying an American girl was gravely dis- cussed. 1 inquired what the prince himself thought of these articles and the suggestion made therein, and was told that they tickled him im- mensely, especially in view of the fact that a somewhat drastic change in the law of England would have to be made to enable the prince to marry an American girl or any other girl not of royal blood Emphasizes Visit Is Private. | The member of the prince’s staff| interviewed was anxious that the| private nature of his royal highness' fiying visit to the United States should be emphasized. “The prince is anxious that it should be realized in the United States that the short stay he will make in Long 1sland for the purpose of witnessing the international polo matches is merely incidental to his Canadian holiday, and that it will not be pos- sible for him to fiake any public en- gagements,’ the official said. “America interests the prince very keenly and he is anxious to make an extended tour there whenever it becomes pos- sible. He would have liked to fulfill his ambition really to see America next year, and possibly would have done so had it not been for the post- ponement of his visit to South Africa, which is now to take place in 1 He could not, of course, have traveled extensively in the United States this year in any case, because of the presidential election. “It was only because the prince suddenly realized that it would be possible for him to take in the polo matches on his way to Canada that he decided to alter his original plan of going direct to Calgary. Because his visit is an absolutely private one, he has virtually no plary, except for the trip to Washington. Plans 10-Day Stay. “As has been announced, he will oc- cupy the country home at Syosset, Lopg Island, of James Abercrombie Burden, the iron manufacturer, and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Winthrop, the former of whom is president of the Piping Rock Club, will act as his hosts. The prince’s stay will certainly not be of more than about 10 days' duration, and he will not be able to accept any public_invitations, although these are now pouring in at the rate of about 50 a day. He will probably play a little polo wiile he is there, but he will not, as has been stated, take part in any of the practice games of the British team. He also hopes to get in a little golf, which is really his favorite pas. time, hunting coming second in. hi: estimation. At the conclusion of visit, the prince will cross from Long Island to New London, Conn., and-then will travel direct to Alberta by way of Montreal.” “The prince is mnot. visiting his Canadian ranch because any particular detail of its management requires his attention.” stated the official in reply to a question “He is going there because it is the only place where he can get a real hoitday, which he now needs rather badly. He has been in London practically continuously for a year, and he has had a very heavy summer. Mixes Work With Play. “Judging by what has been pub- lished in the American press of late, one might imagine that the prince spent all his time in England falling oft horses, and that he was crossing the Atlantic to fall off more horses. The fact is that -while the world hears a lot about the prince’s play, it hears comparatively little about. his work, and that work is very tax- ing. There is hardly a day in the prince’s life when he is not called upon to receive a long line of visitors, including distinguished _foreigners and representatives of the endless societies and organizations of which he is either president or patron. These interviews take up hours of the prince’s time, but of course they are unmentioned in the newspapers. “And scarcely a week passes with- out his royal highness having to take part ip & round of important Zamctions, euch and every one of them demanding a carefully prepared speech on some more or less technical subject. One day he may be address- ing the British Medical Sqciety, the next the Institute of Civil Engineers, the day after that a meeting of archaeologists, financiers or philan- thropists. Naturally, the ground work of many of his royal highness' speeches is prepared for him—nobody but & walking ‘encyclopedia could posiibly be acqainted with so great # variety Of BUDJETUS" 83 Ns Das o | today filed suit in the District Supreme | « PRINCE OF WALES. tackle, but in every case, he put's the matter with which he is provided into his own language, and constant Bpeech-making involves a strain Which even he feels in time. “He has had a fairly strenuous program, It must be admitted, and it is not surprising if the prince Is looking forward eagerly to his Ca- nadian holiday. -You will remember he declared when speaking at the recent Dominion day dinner in Lon- don, that Canada had always been ‘a real tonic’ to him.” ‘Copyricht. 1924, in Un.ted States, Canads and Great Britain by North American Newspaper ‘Alliance.
