PRINCE AND WAR CORRESPONDENT.
During a lull ill the recent severe fighting on the Western Front the Prince of Wales was strolling near the Press Camp and came upon a correspondent busily writing up a dispatch for his paper. Pausing lor a moment the Prince asked ifor information concerning a certain bomb attack. The details were of course freoiy given, his,_correspondent being aware of the identity of his questioner, although, in accordant with the etiquette prescribed for i ! l who may find themselves in persona! touch with His Royal HJghivess, he did not by word look show that such was the case. At the conclusion of the conversation the Prince offered the correspond ent a cigar, which the latter placed ill the inside breast pocket of his tunic. "Why don't you smoke it!'" said the Prime. "Because I'm not likeiv ever to get anothi r cigar from the Prince of Wales,, so I mean to keep this one as .; niemciito.
The Prime laughed good-natured!v. and bringing out Ir- case again, replied— ''Well, you had better have unoth-.-r out —this time to smoke!"
