ON TOUR WITH TEE PRINCE OF WALES,
(BY BIR PERCIVAL PHILLIPS, DAILY EXPRESS"
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
NEPAL
Touring. India with the Prince of Wales is by no means a joy-ride Alled only with pleasant pictures of native life. Behind the brasa, band-and-banquet setting which marks, our progress 'up and down the Eastern Empire is a complex, highly sensitive machine called "organisation," which must be driven night and day by a band of tireless workers,
You see the Staff at ceremonial moments, glittering in full dress and looking as detached from the worries of a dull routine existence as the lilies of the field-and almost sa beautifu, You ought to see them at other times. Re tween their advertised appearances in the pageant of royalty they are far different men. They slog wearity at dents' which shift magically from Government Housä compounds to tents in more remote dis- triets and back again to a jolting, nerve- racking train, and even to the jungle, where official documents, are unpacked behind a stockade meant to keep out wild elephants.
The amount "of solid, steady labour involved in planning and controlling an sxpedition of this kind is almost beyand belief. None of it ever reaches the public, | eyo-merely the result which appears in the form of rather uninteresting schedules | and time-tables craramed with minute detail-but every shred of it esesatíal to the success of the tour.
Long before the Renown took in her stores
at Portsmouth the foundation stones of this fabric were laid in Govern- ment offices. The material had to be fashioned in widely separated areas; from the Afghan frontier to Madras and from Rangoon to Mandalay, Government kept its local beads busy with the scheme which is now the intricate programme of a four months.tour.
We are a weighty organisation, "filling two long special trains, with an overflow of horses, polo ponies, and motor-car into auxiliary horse trains" which no one-save the staff ever sees, Yet we move as smoothly and exactly as a single traveller following his own timetable.
The labour involved shows itself in many ways. If I look from my bed inte the moonlight as we bump aloog in our "special" from one state dinner to another, I can see dark forms ailhouetted against the sky, strung at intervals of perhaps fifty yards and as far from the permanent" way-watchers of the line keeping guard with their backs to the train and a flaming torch in their up lifted hand. They are always there- planted among green fields, or at the edge of sleeping villages, or on camels in the scrub and sand of the great desert, a living chain stretching to infinity wherever we set our course
Not the least remarkable feature of the perfect staff work" is the catering We are in the hands of an expert who is known the length and breadth of India. He has been described as "the amazing Faletti." He has fed the hungry on many royal tours,"and without him we should find life indeed empty. He is a quiet, alert, keen-eyed Italian who seems to be everywhere at once, and under his skilful hand the corps of Indian waiters and cooks serves meals with almost mono- tonous punctuality.

When we board the supplementary train they are at their places in the restaurant car, fulfilling the promises of a menu printed at Simla weeks ago for that day only. If we leave the train at 8-am, for a camp where breakfast..is awaiting us, they are there before us with the breakfast. If we break camp after ten and are to dine in the train behold, dinner is ready and the same gravely smiling faces welcome us.
Kipling once wrote of a culinary expert who worked miracles in the jungle. Faletti, I affirm, is his successor.

AUSTERE BROTHERS CHANGE-

NEW YORK, January 10th. Two brothers, Charles and Hamilton Garland, who refused to accept legacies of £250,000 ́each under their father's will have changed their minds as the result of a year's reflection and the birth of a child to each of them.
They have now consented to receive the money without conditions. At the time of the father's death, Charles, the elder, was an undergraduate at Harvard. He left the University and retired with his where they have lived the simplest of lives, brother to a small farm in Massachusetts,
