PRINCES EJECTED.
ROW IN PARIS DANCE HALL. COLOUR LINE DRAWN. LONDON, Aug. 9. Princes Georgos and Marc Trovalou, sons of the former King of Dahomey, have begun proceedings for assault against the proprietor of a night dancing resort in Mont niartre. They were violently ejected because their presence was resented by rich American tourists, who objected to consort with coloured men. Such incidents have brought upon for. eign visitors an official rebuke. They are warned that if they demand the expulsion of coloured men from public resorts they will be penalised. At present, however, the penalty is sought against the proprietor and the waiters. Prince Georges is a doctor of letters and a barrister in the Appeal Court. Prince Marc is a doctor of medicine. Both fought as volunteers in the French Army in tho war and were wounded and decorated.
