Reviews Boy Scouts.
I The last official ceremony of the
day was a review of 3.000 Boy Scouts
who were massed along the beach
facing the Renown. The prince
nade a special trip ashore to meet
the youngsters and it gave him an
occasion to prove that he also is
numbered among the phrasemakers.
"Never hunt with yourselves,"
hunt rith the pack," was the
prince's advice to the scouts.
He had intended to make a
" sneech. but time was lacking and
4 UftA tA , PAHtnt fiitvi.Alf with
handing a written message to Colin
H. Livingstone; president of the na
tional organization. The message,
which was addressed jointly to the
Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, said in
r part: v ;.,
"I wish that K my visit to your
splendid country had been longer
and. that I had had the chance of
seeing more American Scouts and
Guides but that rmist wait until my
next visit Meanwhile I want to
say one thing to you. Value your
training as scouts and guides, for
the more you yafue it, the greater
will be your own value to your
country and your friends. Put your
country always first, and above all-
things, be food Americans, Ihe
better Americans you are, the bet
ter friends you will ba to your
brother Scouts and sister Guides of
the British empire."
Sims Honored Guest
The jast person to say good-by to
the price was Admiral Sims, who
was the guest of honor at a fare
well luncheon given by the royal
visitors. The anchors were already
being weighed when the admiral left
the ship.
Five carrier pigeons ,were taken
on "board the Renown M-be released
500 miles at sea and return to New
York with greetings from the prince
to his New York hosts.
Sir Robert Rorden, premier of
Canada,-went aboard to accompany
the royal party to Halifax.
Just before the prince sailed he
handed the newspapermen this
statement:
"I wish to leave a message for
the city of New York before I sail
today. The people of New York
have welcomed me with such' kind
ness that I cannot leave without
saying two words of farewell.
Refuses to Say Good-by.
"I refuse entirely to say good-by.
Whether you like it or not, I am
gomg to pay the United States an
other visit as soon as I can, and
because I like it so much and I wish
to see much more of the country
and its people, including the great
west.-
"There is one thing which I
should particularly Hke you to say
for me in the oress. I have had
hundreds of -charming letters since
1 came to the United States, and
not a single disagreeable one. I wish
that all these letters could have beenJ
answered. They have been too
many to make th!s possible, but I
hope their writers will let me thank
them in this way for, the many nice
things which they have said.
fcew York has been so kind to
me that l -can never torget tnis
first visit. As I have said befor.e,
I am proud to be a New Yorker in
my own right, and determined to
see more of the great city as soon
as I can. One can never have
enough of such hospitality as yours
and I hope all the people of the city
will realize how grateful and appre
ciative I am.

last visited it four years ago. Only
the pictures have -been removed to

palace as well as numerous villas on
the property remains unsettled.

reopen1 the chateau.

towns along the Moscow front, and
there is plenty of food. Hotels at
Sebastopol, Yalta and Odessa are
full, women guests wearing their
furs and diamonds as the best
means of preventing their being
stolen. In many cases, however,
they are without stockings, their
only footwear being bedroom or
ballroom slippers. Traders are mak
ing fortunes selling shoes, . stock
ings, corsets, perfumes, powder and
cologne. . 1

OPERATORS WONT
OFFER MORE THAN
15 PER CENT RAISE
Refuse to Accept Proposals of
Secretary Wilson as Basis
For Further Negotiations.
Washington, Nov. 22,- Refusing
to accept the proposal made by Sec
retary Wilson as a basis for fur'ther
negotiations, soft coal operators of
the central competitive field here
rested their case with Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield, whose official ap
proval is necessary to validate any
ney wage agreement
The public would not stand for a
wage advance above their offer of
IS cents per ton to coal diggers and
20 per cent to day laborers, the op
erators asserted. They refused to
make further 'overtures or even to
reinstate their proposition, which
was withdrawn following the dead
lock Fridayi unless the government,
through the fuel administration, as
sumed responsibility for the added
burden to the nation's fuel bill.
The operators are prepared to
leave the entire situation in the
hands of the government unless Or.
Garfield can find a way out of the
difficulty, their spokesman an
nounced. No joint meetings of the
sub-scale committee was held to
day. ' ,
Dr. Garfield notified the operators
that he would not meet their com
mittee of which Thomas T. Brew
ter is chairman, until after he has
ccffshlted Monday with Attorney
General Palmer, Director . General
Hiiies and Judge C. B. Ames, assist
ant attorney general. It was con
sidered likely that the negotiations
might have to go over until after
the cabinet meeting Tuesday, when
it was expected a policy to get the
mines back into operation before
the coal famine brings disaster will
be worked out.
Operators' representatives author
ized the statement that in their
opinion figures on which SecretaVy
Wilson based his proposals show
ing living costs in the coal regions
were partisan. The secretary told
the sub-scale committee Friday that
he did not speak for the govern
ment, it was said.
Denies Any Agreement.
Billings, Mont, Nov. 22. District
President Henry Drennan of the
United Mine Workers of America
upon his return from Washington
conference denied ne nad signed an
agreement with the Montana Coal
Operators Association for imme
diate return of Montana coal miners
with the understanding that a set
tlement of the wage tontroversy
would be based upon the agreement
reached in the central competitiva '
field, as reported here Tuesday,
To Refund. Money. '.
Missoula, Mont, Nov. 22. Offi
cials of the Great Western Coal
Co. announced that the company
would refund to purchasers, $1.80
