PRINCE OF WALES' LANGUAGES
The linguistic aptitude of tlie Prince of Wales, noted in American news dispatches when the Prince on an official visit to Canada spoke to a Quebec audience in "impeccable French," again cropped out on the Prince's recent South African trip. Visiting a cotton ginnery, one of the largest in Uganda, the Prince greeted the African workmen in their own Swaliili tongue, wishing them "Jambo." A correspondent of "The African World," describing the occurrence, noted that "His Royal Highness was greatly amused" by the fact that the manager, the one white man in the isolated gpot, was known as the "Lord Mayor."
