PRINCE IS FORMAL ONLY IN'HIS Brings 81 Pieces of Bag- gage, But Is Democratic in . Manner and Talk. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Crown Prince Gustavus Adolphus has brought to Washington the ‘re- treshing breeze of a royal democracy. To many minds there is no greater democracy in all the world than Sweden. Many racy which would he denounced in this country as socialism or pater- nalism have long had vogue in the great north country, and the |l!‘n|?l(> have lived happily under them, while adoring their King and the royal family. It may seem a paradox that the Swedish court should be s ounded by an atmosphere of exceeding fo mality. But that is part of the game. All Swedes who move in the higher clrcles simply adore formal dress. It must have been a shock to the carefully attired Crown Prince when MaJor Jimmie Walker of New York received him in a natty, two-button, double-breasted blue serge. Yet by no sign or word would the Prince betray the slightest cognizance of this informality in dress on the part of his first American host. Tn manner and speech the Crown Prince of Sweden is democracy itself. despite the almost severity of his formal attire. He typifles the stal wart physique and the stalwart char aeter of his native land. and he h: far more to say and an even plea: anter way to sav it than the Prince of Wales. English ripples from his tongue without hesitaticn for a thought or a word Crown Princess En:lish The Crown Princess louise is Iing lish, a cousin of the Prince of W ales and is very popular in Sweden. Her position during the war was not an enviable one for a time, for it seemed on several occasions that Sweden was on the brink of entering the hos- tilitles as_an ally of the central powers. The Queen of Sweden was a German princess and was widely ac credited with desiring such an sl Nance. The question got to a Vots in the Riksdag early in 1916, and to the great relief of many Swedes whose sympathies - were with France and England, Sweden decided (o remain neutral. In the beautiful city of Stockholm, the “Venice of the North,” the mem- bers of the royal family go about their affairs unattended and unmo- lested. Even King Gustavus himself often drives about the city with no one but his chauffeur. He is recog- nized and saluted by the people just as they would greet a friend. Outside the stiff formalities of court functions Swedish royalty is notable for its democracy. Only during the iast Win- ter the King, under the nom-de-court of “Mr. G.,” took part in several ten- nis tournaments along the Riviera. The King's ability at the game is elo- quent of the athletic life of the Swedes. as & whole. Their court Jife and their home life are delightful, and once an American visits Sweden he is always anxious to get back. Prince Not Good Dancer. The Crown Prince is rather more redate than his next younger brother, Princa William, who has visited the ited States -several times. The ‘rown Princa’is a poor sailor and in- sists_he is a worse dancer. Prince William is an officer of the Swedish commanded torpedo rough a Baltic Win- eserving the neutrality of his . Prince William elso is adept at the modern dances, though he has not been in the United States since the Charleston craze was started. Prince William 1s decidedly of the type of the Prince of Wales, although older. The Crown Prince is more of the student, although his younger brother has done a great deal of ex- ploring and scientific work. ‘Washington has been tremendously pleased with. the way the Crown Prince says ‘by jove!” It is not gn affectation. He means it every time it escapes hislips. ‘The Crown Prince and Princess have between them 81 pieces of bag- gage, which shows how thoroughly :hey both believe in the formality of ress.

These characteristics also are sald to be shared to a marked extent by his consort, the Crown Princess Louise, who is accompgnying the prince. Although the Crown Prince, during most 'of his 44 vears, has applied himself assiduously to the study of soverniment, political economy and other subjects valuable in his prepa- ration to head the government of Sweden, he ‘has found time alto for important accomplishments in arche: ology, his "chosen fleld of " scientific research. His.writinge on’ this sub- Ject and his field excavations both in Sweden and in the Mediterranean basin, including Greece, have placed him among the foremost archeolo- gists of his country. lLearned English Early. As prospective heir to the throne, Crown Prince Gustavus Adolphus re- ceived from the very first a rigorous as well as democratic education. Having an English nurse, he learned her language from his eariiest infancy and is one of the most fluent speakers of that language in his country. His primary instructor was a woman teacher in the Stockholm public schools, who gave him and his younger brother the same training as the children of the common people recelve. After that, he had tutors trom the faculties of the public high schools and colleges. His interest in natural sciences and his keen powers of observation were noticed early. During his early school days his favorite subject was botany. Though his schoolroom was lo- cated in the royal castle of Stock- holm, ft was equipped very much like any other schoolroom, includ- ing athletic apparatus and a carpen- ter bench for manual training. For out-of-door exercises the princes were regularly taken outside the city, where they practiced swimming, skating, ski running and coasting, like the majority of Swedish boys. In athletics the Crown Prince has regularly taken part ever since, and has developed a fine physique. Dur- ing inilitary maneuvers he has roughed it, aleeping in hayv lofts or under the open sky. and never has he permitted any exception to be made in his favor. Furthermore, he has been chairman of the Swedish Olympic committee and by his ex- ample and personal influence has en- couraged the Swedish idea of ath- leties for everybody. At the age of 20 he entered the University of Upsala. As a condition for his entry he had to pass the same rigorous examination in the genera’ field of education as any other be- ginner on the road to higher learn- ing. His own gon, in turn, took the same test last Spring, entitling him to wear the treasured white cap. Rose to Gemeralcy. A part of the year he had to de- vote to his military training as an officer, beginning as a lowly cadet at the Svea Body Guard Regiment, and rising by degrees from one rank after another, commanding first a platoon, then a company, a battalion, 2 regiment, and then a brigade, un- tilnow he holds the rank of general in the infantry as well as cavalry. Like any other young officer he has drilled recruits and led his units in the annual war games or field ma- neuvers. In no respect, according to those familiar with his career, has he shirked the disagreeable parts of his training. | ‘While he was a university student Norway still was united with Swe- den, and tradition required that he should spend part of his time at the University of Christianfa. His fa- vorite field was archeology. Even prior to entering the university he had taken a lively interest in the ancient Swedish monuments and their exploration. As a student at Upsala he availed himself of the opportunity to delve more deeply into the subject. In the Fall of 1803 and Spring of 1903 one of the most re- markable explorations in years was made on his initiative and with funds he had collected—the excavation of the so-called “King Bjorn's Mound,” near Upsala. In this work he per- sonally participated as far as his time would permit, and the work SIMPLY, TAKING LIFE SERIOUSLY Spent Normal, Athletic Boyhood and Well Prepared Himself to Rule—Won Wide Recognition for in Archeology. proved _that this Impressive grave mound®had been erected during the bronze age, or, more definitely, about 1000 B.C. But, it was pointed out, above all, it is for his initiative as an organizer of archeological enterprises on a_large scale that the Swedish Crown Prince merits recognition as a contributor to this branch of sclence.: While tourl Greece in the Fall of 1902 he conceivi the idea that Sweden should take part in_the international research work on a large scale, applying as far as pos- sible the methods followed in archeo- logical researches in the North. In this plan he has been successful, and his organizing ability made possible the beginning in 1922 of the exca: tlons of the anclent Asine, at Argolis, Greece. Sweden has already sent three expeditions to this site and & fourth one is expected to conclude the work during this year. The finds have so far been extraordinarily rich and important, especially those of the pre-Mycenean Age. As chairman of the committee on ways and means, the Crown Prince has rked untir- ingly on the detalls of the organiza- tion. In the Fall of 1922 he person- ally participated in a most energetic way for six weeks in the excavatioi at Asine, working in his shirt sleeves from morning till night, Formed Oriental Society. Under the personal auspices of the Crown Prince the Swedish Oriental Society was formed in 1921, and as ita chairman he has conscientiously and persistently furthered its objects in the sending of expeditions to the Near and Far East. Under his chairman- ship a Swedish Archeological Insti- tute has Ifkewise been founded at Rome and is now ready to begin its activities. Quite recently he has taken the initiative in starting a fund under the Swedish Orfental Society for the purpose of sending a new ex- pedition for a preliminarv surveyv in the Near East, the purpose of which would be to furnish a Swedish contri- bution toward the tracing of the re- lated cultures in Southwestern Asia and Eastern Europe from the end of the Stone Age to the beginning of the Metal Ages, the existence.of which has most recently been proved through the work of the China Com- mittee, as well as their extension also through Eastern Asia. It for the purpose of making closer personal in- vestigation of these things that the Crown Prince plans to extend his American tour to the Orient, particu- larly China, where he intends to spend some time in archeological ex- plorations. Like his great-grandfather, Oscar I, the Crown Prince has trained himself in the practical details of the govern- ment administration, serving as an extra member of the staff in various departments. Thus during the Winter of 191920 he app practically daily at the offices of the social service department, taking part in the plenary conferences and by private interviews with individual officlals and by read- ing special publications made himself familiar with the work of the depart- ment and its problems. Heard Relief Pleas. One of its duties is to deal with the relief of unemployment, and miny times during the post-war crisis del gations of workers appeared Dbefol the board of which the Crown Prince Was & member and stated their griev- ancee in decidedly emphatic terms, not realizing that the heir to the throne was one of the auditors. Being intimately associated with the Swedish people in its everyday affairs, the Crown Prince in 1920 had nation- wide sympathy in his great sorrow, when hie first wife, the universally be- loved Crown Princess Margaret, died after a short iliness, leaving five chil- dren, four boys and one girl, Princess Ingrid, who 18 now 15 years old. In the education of these children the Crown Prince has taken an intense personal part, supervising every detail and as tar as possible giving them his pater- nal care every day. Unlike most royal children they are not educated by pri- vate tutors, but are sent to ordinary schools like other children. The oldest son is now a student at the University of Upsala, Princess Ingrid attends a private day school for girls in Stock- holm and two of the other boys are pupils of provincial boarding schools, where they are preparing for the uni. versity examinations. On November 3, Prince was married again in London, having chosen as his second wife Lad: Louise Mountbatten, a great-grand. daughter of Queen Victoria and daugh- ter of Prince Louis of Battenburg. Her mother is Princess Victoria of Hesse, oldest daughter of Princess Alice, who was Queen Victoria's fa- vorite child.
