the

Times
in a despatch

relates
how the

broke
from

p ogramme

Race
Course
last Sunday,
making
a half
mile
detour
in
order
to
pass
®naccompanied
through the crowd.
Striding
well ahead

says
the correspondent,
the
Prince
rushed
along
close
to
the
rails
laughing,
acknowledging
cheers,
ex-
changing
greetings,
touching hundreds
of
eager
outstretched
hands,
and
then
inspecting
a
group
of
veterans
in
the
centre
of a great throng of Indians.
The

in his
despatch
doubts
if

before in the history of India, either
the
ruling chief
or the Emperor
son
has
thus
gone
afoot
to make himself
one with
the
mass
of the people.
ASKS
CHRISTMAS
FUND
FOR
VIR-
GIN ISLANDS.
The Virgin
Islands
Protective
League
an
organization
whose
membeiship
is
open
to all citizens
of the
United
States
and natives of the Virgin Islands
is mak
ing
a
drive

funds
with
which
to
send
a
Christmas
benefit
for
the
poor
and little orphans
in the
island.
{'o those
who do not feel any
t)o
good
about
this publicity, I beg to advise
that
it is not
the intentions
of
the
League
to
place
the inhabitants
of the
islands
upon
publie
ch: rity.
Intelligert readers
know that there
are
in
the
Virgin
Islands
certain
groucs
of
people
who are sadly in need
of financial
assistance.
The islauds
were
devasted
by
a
hurri:
cane
in the year 1916.
Immediately after,
came
the horrors
of
the great
war,
when
the
German
mer-
cantile
marine
and
other
German
inter-
ests
which supported
eighty
peircent
of
the inhabitants
b2ecame
inactive,
Th=n
the transfer
(o the
United
States
suddenly
cut
off
three
thousand
who
hitherto
depended
on
Danish
pensions,
from any further
support,.
There
are
no philanthropists
in the
is-
lands.
The League
has
sent
out
a
Bene-
fit Committee
in
charge
of Mis.
Isabel
George,
118 W. 135th St.,
who
are
to
re-
port
on Sunday afternoon,
Nov. 13th.
The
League
holds
its
meetings
at
149 W. 136th
St.
every
second
Sunday
at4,30 p.
m
It has
as
its aims,
the
general
improv-
ment
of conditions
in the
Virgin Islands
and
invites
all
Americans
to
take
an
active part.
The Congressional
Commission
to
the
islands,
Rear
Admiral
Oman
former
Governor,
‘Honorable
Chas.
Payne,
Magistrate
and
an
American
Negro,
and
all
the
prominent
officials
of the
islands,
endorses
the
plan
to
establish
a
true spirit of Americanism.
