The King’s voice was canned from the palace to Rugby, whence it was wirelessed to Buenos Aires and thence by land line to Santiago. The conditions were perfect and every word was heard clearly from the Pnnce of Wales’ cheery greeting, “Hulilo, there, hullo.” . . The British Princes attended service I in the British War Memorial Church iat Santigao and heard the rector I preach on Britain’s great mission in spreading peace and goodwill throngh- | out the world. . .. - The Chilean Press printed heavy special editions in honour of the Princes.
