May. 26 (Correspondence of The Associated Press)-?Th* Prince of Wales is now 25 and King George , has decided that he should have his j own residence. York House. St. JatneV, the home of his boyhood tiays, has been selected. ' Except that it lacks a garden and i a tgar?ge, Jf?rk House is regarded as an admirable residence. Decorators are now preparing it for the prince, who will move in ?in about a month. His household will not be large. York House formerly was the prop erty of the King of Hanover, who re fused to let Queen Victoria have it. But after his death she was able to offer it to the widowed Duchess of Cambridge. Subsequently the house j was occupied by the Duke of Clar ence and the present king and queen, j Its most recent occupants have been j the late Lord Kitchener and Sir Wil- j liam Robertson. I Since the armistice the Prince of Wales has been very much in the public eye, and his activities are di versified. He made a speech in the I ring at the National Sporting Ciub af jter the Wild-Lynch contest, being in jtroduced by Lord Lonsdale the chief [figure of the British sporting world. He spoke also at the dinner of the Royal Academy on the eve of the opening of the annual exhibition which was attended by a great fathering of; notables. He has been initiated into the Tree Masons, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, King Edward, and his great uncle, the Duke of Con naught,, and has become an honorary" member of two of the old city- trade guilds. .

Professor Duerpfeld, one of the 'most eminent archaeologist* of Germany, came to join the Hohenzollern circle a month or So ago and ^since' his ?.r rival has spent several howrs almost ?every afternoon in his former mon aiwi's company. Every'jphasevof archaeol?gical re scarch is diicussed during these con versations, in the course 6t which the professor entertains the exile With de tails of the discoveries made by him and his companions in Palestine, Syria and other sections of the Near East. The professor is an old companion of Hohenxollern with whom he spent some time on the Island of Corfu. Where, the 1 one-time German ruler ?owned the Castle of Ach i He ion: Even at. the dinner table archeao ^ogy Is now the main subject of con versation, for reference to the War is tacitly taboo when the erstwhile. Em 4>emrr and his c?nsort join the family circle of the Bentincks. On these oc casions '1)oth . Hohenzollern and his Immediate suitet including the body physician. Dr. Foerster and Professor 'duerpfeld, wear military uaiforms.. The Bentincks, although some, of the members of the family have the right to wear uniform, always appear in ci vilian dress. At present the entire suite except the Marshal of the Court, Von Gon tard, . reside outside the castle either in the village inns or in rented cot tages. All of them have full liberty of movement about Holland, but their appearance passes entirely unnotic ed, as they never travel in uniform. Porto Rico Wantr Federal Help. ,. San Juan, P. R., June 4.?Governor Yager has approved the joint resolu tion passed by the Legislature pro viding that the Insular governmen; will reimburse the Federal govern ment to. the extent of 70 per cent of money expended in the harbor de velopment provided that the sum doeF not exceed $1,200,000 and provisior is made that the refunding is not te commence until after the work has been completed. This act was made necesary owing to the fact that the expenses of d* edg ing the harbor and reclaiming the low lands along the shore will prob ably cost double the amount estima ted four years ago.

R#r#iMdr^V?ipeaI j - T?r- * Case of The American Mission ary in Korea j. ? . j Pyeng Yang, Korea, May 10 (Cor respondence of The Associated Press) i?That the accused did not know he j wa* sheltering agitators was one of jihe main points in the defence of Rev. ' E. M. Mowry. of Mansfield. ?.; who I appealed from a sentence of six J months in the l?wer court for having [harbored Korean leaders, and whose jcase was heard in the appeal court of [Pyeng Yang today. Judge Hashimoto presided and Public Procurator Mitsui represented the prosecution, f Mr. Mowry was defended by Dr. S. Uzawa, a prominent lawyer of Tokio, assisted by three barristers from Seoui and Pyeng Yang. In the audience were R. C. Curtice, the American Vice consul at Seoul, ten or more American missionaries and several foreign wo men. Answering questions put to him by the judge, Mr. Mowry denied knowl edge of, or participation in, the agi tation scheme planned by students of Sungsil University. He admitted that he gave shelter at his house to Yi Posik and four other Koreans but de nted that he so protected them be cause of knowing that they were want ed by the police in connection with the agitation. He had admitted them simply out of compliance with their request as they were his pupils or em ployes. Public Procurator Mitsui argued that the point of the present case was whether or not the defendant was, aware that the Koreans, he gave sheh ter to were offenders liable to a legal! punishment heavier than a fine. He declared that the' Rev. Mr. Mowry's denial was scarcely to be accepted and that the judgment pronounced by the Court of First Instance should be upheld. - Refuting this argument, Dr. Uzawa said that the allegation that the de fendant was aware of the fact that the Koreans were wanted -by the po lice was not fully established. Ac cording to his personal investigation, the room in which the defendant gave them shelter was his study, and yeas one nearest to the road, so it waS in full view from" the outside. TKaS"was evidence that he harbored no'intetition of specially sheltering them from capture by the police. Dr. Uzawa urged that the judgment pro nounced at the preliminary examina tion be quashed and Mr. Mowry set free. Dr. Uzawa's colleagues also pleaded for Mr. Mowry. Decision was reserved. The appeal court sentenced the Rev. Mr. Mowry on May IS to four months in prison. He appealed to the high est court. . Liberia Looking to America. London, May 2$.?Proposal that fhf United States alone should undertake the whole responsibility ' of the fi nances cf Liberia is made by C. D. B King, Secretary of State and- Presi dent-elect of Liberia, who is visiting here. Mr. King said the negotiations for a loan of $5,000,000 from the Unitec States government to Liberia had iv been completed. At preient there wa? an International receivership tn whi^h Great Britain, France and the United | States Were parties. "As this loan is to be used in paying off the easting" in ternational obligations," said Mr King, "it will necessarily follow thaf the'United States government Will un dertake the whole responsibility t? administer our finances. Negotiation? on these points are how proceeding between the American. British and Frehch governments and there may be at withdrawal of Great Britain arid France from the international re ceivership in its present form; as the receivership ha^ not worked alto gether ? satisfactorily. "It would simply mean that instead of our having financial representa tives of three powers assisting us in applying our finances to the needs of the country we would have one set of officers and those nominated by the United States .government. Mr. King expressed pleasure over ?he fact that the British and French colonies in West Africa proposed to bar out the use of alcohol as a bever age. "We in Liberia are in cordial agreement with this policy," he said, "and the adjoining countries may de pend upon it that that if they decide rO apply prohibition, Liberia will work with them loyally and thorough :y." Concerning the condition of the people of the negro race in America, Mr. King said: "If there are in the United States still any people of ne- i gro descent who are dissatisfied with) their position there, Liberia stands j open to them as a home and as an opportunity for the development of their national desires." Medal to Producers of Food. Alma, Mich.; June 28.?In recogni tion of work in encouraging food pro duction during the war, the National War Garden Commission has award ed a medal to Mrs. Francis King of this city, the president of the Wo I men's National Farm Carden Asso ciation. The presentation was made by Charles Lathrop Pack, president of I the commission. A similar medal has neen presented to the heads of the I governments of the United States, England. France. Belgium and Italy, and to the world leaders in food con trol. The medal was designed with the object of representing the country's military- service and the support giv en to it by ihose who worked in their war gardens. On the obverse is the figure of a voting woman working over garden plants. In low relief are soldiers marching. The decorative motive for the reverse is a basket hamper filled with the varied product of a war garden. Under the basket appear the words: "The seeds of victory insure the Luits of peace.'- a hoe and a rifle crossed and the dat?s 1914-1919. Mr. R. W.

Count Julius Szechenyi, aged ninety, formerly mas ter of the King's horse, is one of those who has incurred the displeasure of the ruling forces. In spite of his age, he has been forcibly removed from his home and imprisoned. What dispo sition will be made of him is not like ly to reach the public until it has ceen ordered and executed. Every room in the handsome mar ble palace of Count Louis Karolyi, :he former Austrian ambassador to London, is occupied by some one of rhe vaunted proletariat, with such re sults as might be expected. Stove pipes stick from the lace-curtained windows, and the silk-covered walls are smoky, grimy and greasy. Pro-! tective covers have been torn from rich divans and handsome chairs to be used for dishrags. Costly bronzes, chipped and mutilated, are being use." as playthings by the proletarian chil dren. It is the same in the handsome .residence of Count Andrassy next 1 cor, where squalor and dirt are rap Idly replacing the magnificence and polish of a happier day. Day by day comes the news of in creasing violence on the part of those who are in power. Tbe latest in stances have to do with Ludwig Navy, former president of the Hun garian Parliament. He was seized at his country home and while being taken into Budapest, was taken from the train and shot to death by the Red Guard who gave as an excuse that he was trying to escape. 1 . Altogether the situation in Buda ; pest is rapidly approaching the point where there will be. the customary appeal to the "great big-hearted America" to feed and clothe the peo pie. Security of life and property is growing less with every week and the once magnificent city is rapidly tak ing on an appearance to which its I people have hitherto been strangers. Neglect, of agriculture is one of the ! outstanding features of the situation. It is estimated that fifty percent of the tillable soil has not been plowed, partly due to the disorganiration and demoralization occasioned by an or der of the soviet which forced land owners to raise the wages of farm la borers from five crowns to thirty crowns per day, and also to give them frutter and milk without any charge and to see that they were properly clothed. The appeal to the United States for help is expected to come chiefly from the people who have done nothing to work what few fields are now under cultivation and who never had many clothes or felt the need for them.

Making Stain Glass in Ireland Dublin, May 28.?Dublin has de veloped .greatly the stained glass arc industry and many churches which used to get stained glas from Munich now get it at home. The reputation of. Irish glass has been grown and ex tended beyond the borders of Ireland and windows have been supplied not only to churches in England bur. across the Atlantic. A remarkable window has just been j on exhibition in Dublin. It is the memorial which the Duke of Con-1 naught is putting up, in Ottawa to the memory of the eight members of his Canadian staff who fell in the war. The window was designed by a young Bel-1 fast artist, Miss Geddes. It represents a procession of sol- ' dier saints, Longinus,.
