On Tuesday the Prince of Wales sailed in the battleship

Renown' for a tour of the Dominions and a visit to the United States. Never has an Heir-Apparent to the Throne been aa well known in advance to the people whom he will visit. He has not only made fast friends with them, but made friends with them in circumstances which can never be forgotten and which will never admit a lapse of the friendship. Although during the war the Prince was bound by the restraints of his position, he managed to compromise with those restraints, not so far of coarse as to let it be said that he was =mindful of his great responsibilities and of the necessity of obedience, but quite far enough for every one who watched him to know that he was a young man of extraordinarily high spirit and courage.
