Occasionally the princo stopped bo-
forou uniformed man. Ho looked the
veterans directly in the "eyes; then his
gaze traveled swiftly over tho uniforms,
noting the decorations worn.
"You have fully recovered?" he asked
one veteran with three wound stripes.
The man gulped quickly, then answered,
"1'es, sir,"
Every officer in line got a hand
clasp from tho priuce. He began with
' three officers of tho Steamship Haver
