LONDON, Sept. 18. — |f kings j,a(1
to be elected, there la one private in
the British army who would put his
cross in'the circle oppouit > the name
of Edward the Eighth, the iircsent
Prince of Wales. Young ’Odward won
1 hlB vote In the second ha*tie of Loos.
The private is a runner attache 1 to a
Surrey regiment, who was coming
back from an early morning attack
with news of how the fighting was
going. He was Btlll In the zone where
shells were dropping with bothersome
frequency, and was hustling to get out
of It. He saw approaching a young
man picking his way leisurely among
the shell holes and hillocks.
‘‘What the h-1 are you doing out
here?” he demanded of the stranger.
“None of your business," was the
cheerful response, as emphatically pro
fane as his own greeting. Coming
nearer, the private saw he had been
"cussing” an officer, a second lieu
tenant. Nearer still and he recognized
the grinning countenance of the next
king of England.
He sought to apologize, but the
prince insisted on regarding the mat
ter as merely one of the humorous In
cidents of a very interesting war. sug
gesting in so many worda, that the
private “forget it.” Stories about the
prince are not hard to find, among
the privates on leave. These privates
were the laHt to accept the prince as
a real soldier. He had to stand an
even more grilling course of observa
tion by the Tommies than other offi
cers undergo — which any officer
knows Is sufficient.
When the prince first went to
France zealous generals, fearful of
anything happening to the thrones
heir while in their zone, did endeavor
to keep him away from the danger
spots. Intensely sensitive of his pro
minence, the prince began taking un
necessary risks when chance offered.
The only way to stop him was to al
low him to take his chances with his
comrades in the ordinary risks of 1
duty. The result was that lit the ,
streets of Ypres, in Innumerable “sul
clde corners' and “machine gun ml '
leys,” “dead men’s holes” and other <
unhealthy spots the prince has won
the complete approval of the men.
“Saw him bowling across 'Eleven i
o'clock square just before Fritz was *
due to open up," said one. Eleven <
o’clock square is a well known place <
in a much shelled town whene a Her- <
man 5.8 stopped the public clock at 4
the hour of eleven. "An engineer, not 4
knowing him, said "better top It, son 4
ny, the band’s just starting.” Crump,
comes an eight-incher right Into the *
square, but he only laughs and ducks ^
Into a doorway. <
Or perhaps, the story will be: “We *
was being posted something cruel by *
them big mlnnies (trench mortars) *
when a little feller crawled round the ^
corner of our trench. He was as 4
lirty as a sapper, but I recognized
tiim. It was the prince, lie’s huntin’ *
or the major, he says, and when 1 «
uolnts out the major’s dugout he goes ^
>n as coolly as an A. S. C. driver at a
ration dump." 4
Life in the field, officers say, has 4
lone wonders for the Prince. He is
is hard as nails, and from shy, hyper
sensitive youth, oppressed by the 4
■ares of rank knowledge of what was 4
sxpected pf his position, he has de
veloped into a cheery, fearless young *
nan, who has proved his right to 4
nlngle with the brave on equal terms. 4
