■ *—, HIST OF VISIT TO AUSTRALASIA. Vancouver, September '_'2.~ The Prince of Wales has completed his trau-'-Coiitinentfll tour. It was marked by unexampled enthusiasm, with a series of balls, receptions, ivnd public luncheons. Speaking at a luncheon in van- 1 cower, the Prince referred to. General Botha's death «s a. blow to all British subjects. ,He announced that he. intended to repent his visit to Canada. His first sight of the Pacific on his arrival reminded him of tho closeness of Aus' iralia ond'New Zealand, .where,'as in Canada.-.ho had many frionds, mad? during the Great 'War. Ho hoped to visit these ■ great-countries very soon, .lie tojt. qiutu at home in Canada, and knew he would feel the same in Australia and New Zealand, whoro. a great British civilisation was being built up under the Southern Cross. The glory won at Gallipoli would never fade.. Tho Canadians who had .fought alongside the Australians knew their worth—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.' ,(l!ec. September 23, 5.5 p.m.) The Prince of Wales added: "Those Canadians who fought side by side with the Australian troops east of Amiens on August 8 last year can never forget that that operation was one of those, which shattered the whole German line south of the Soinme, and,began the victorious, advance of all the British armies from France and Belgium into Germany, xno combined attack of the Old Country, Canadian, and Australian divisions will always rank as one of the greatest feats of liritish arms. It represented in; a very, special way the strength which.the British Bmpire draws from the unity of its self-governing democracies. I'like to recoil it in this Canadian city; where- J. stand at one of the great meeting points of the British. Commonwealth."—A us.JN.Z. Cable Assn.
