PLi^NNING THE PRINCE'S TOUR How Arrangements are Made (By Horace Wyndham) When tho Prince of Wales goes a- touring, all arrangements have to be planned many months ahead. Thus, the detail! of the Canadian visit of His Royal Highness were worked out last January. A tour having been decided on, the first thing to settle la, of course, the approximate date of leaving England. The Prince la a busy man, with many calls upon his time, and his engage- ment-book is certain to be filled up quite early in the year. As soon as the actual date is fixed, a spell of feverish anxiety descends upon the members of his household. Perhaps the busiest among them is his private secretary. One of the earliest of this omcial's cares is to procure a stock of all the newest and most authorita- tive books dealing with the districts in the projected itinerary. A careful Halsey, who has filled tho responsible post of comptroller and treasurer to his Royal Highness since 1920. Born in 1872, Sir Lionel became a neval cadet on the Britannia In 1885, and afterwards went to the Royal Yacht. He saw active service in South Afri- ca, and did so well there that he was Bpeclally promoted to the rank of commander. During the European War he took a strenuous •jiart In the Battle of Jutland. The admiral la, of course, fully experienced in all the multitudinous requirements that bring a Royal tour to a successful issue, for he accompanied the Prince on his re- cent Journey to Canada. Perhaps the member of the Prince's The baggage-master's Job is to see that none of the portmanteaus and suit cases go astray. This calls tor pronounced vigilance. His task, how- ever ,l8 to a certain oxtent slmplillod by the fact that all the luggage en- trusted him is of the came pattern and legibly marked with tho Royal cypher. Still, as the number of pieces is more than a hundred, ho has some anxious moments lest, when his back Is turned, any one of them should chance to be annexed as a "souvenir." This has r.ovcr happened yet. Still, there is nlway.H a possibility that it may ! "Logging" thj Tour.

Byrd and Clarence IJ. Ci'.amborllu. Tho discussiou was prompted by re- ceipt of a message from David A. Burke, manager of the United States Lines at New York, who advised Cap-- taln Hartley that ho was proposing to recommend a definite plan for such a purpose to the shipping board if ad- vised that it was feasible. Declared Feasible. Both Commander Byrd and Cham- berlin Joined Captain Hartley in con- cluding that It was entirely feasible to begin experimenting on a ship to shore service when the slilp was with- in 500 miles of port, lengtheuli>g the distance to 1000 miles when coadl-! tions were practical. Cliamberlin even e.xprossed wllUn!r-- ness to sign a contract to begin such flights personally at onco with a Bel- lanc.i machine, using a collapsible runway sloping from the top de!;k to the bow. Commander Byrd recommended a (;alapiilt, using a Volfeht seaplane or a Lconlns amphibian carrying approsl- matoly 300 pounds of mail or thrco passengers, niakiug It possible, with complete safety, to cross the ocean in two hours loss than four days.

On this account he has several times been among the audience at the meetings of the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Colonial Insti- tute. Planning the Program. As may be imagined, a tremendous amount of correspondence has to be carried out before the tour actually begins. Letters and cables are for- warded well in advance, both to hea4s of departments abroad, as well as to the ofllcials who will come into touch with his Royal Highness; and each deceives a detailed program, giving times of arrival and departure, and length of stay, etc. When the suggested program has been submitted to, and approved by groom-ln-waittng, a position held by Brigadier-Oenoral Gerald Trotter. He served for twenty years iu the Grena- dier Guards (the Prince's own regi- ment), and fought in South Africa and France.
