THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER

1919.

The abore pictures are of special interest in view of the acute situation which still exists on the Dalmatian Coast. The first shows the bridge over which U.S. marines entered the town of Trau, when they sent the Italians out. The second is a view of Spalato, occupied by the Americans and later vacated. The third is a picture of one of the Fiume demonstrations for Italian rule, which started all the trouble.

This photograph of the ex-Crown Prince of Germany

was taken on the Isle of Wieringen, where "Little Willie ",

in exile, takes great delight in motor-cycling.

The above picture shows America's largest Service Prison, which is situate on an island and closely guarded.
