May 2. * The Prince of Wales, after a day in the Somme area, arrived at Amiens, dust-covered and wearing a, black and white check cap, a grey suit and an old British warm. He had laid a wreath on the memorial on Vimy Ridge, and tluring his long tour he went to almost «very British cemetery. He visited a field near Saint Jean, where he was nearly blown up during the war, and lie went to the simple peasant dwelling where he had been billetted. Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey said this tour of the Prince was the most interesting he had ever made. After a rest the Prince went for a walk in the streets of Amiens, pausing outside the -cathedral, in which there are memorials of the Australians, Americans, New foundlanders, Canadians and British, as if-remembering the days of 1918, when the faint-hearted feared Amiens could not be saved.
