London, June 21.

The Prince of Wales' return home fills the public mind and the Prince is assured of a very Royal welcome to-day at Plymouth, London and on the journey to the Metropolis, where great crowds, including many school children, will gather at the stations and cheer the passing train. There is every prospect of enormous crowds to greet the Prince on his arrival in London, where the weather is most favourable. The streets are all beflagged shops and houses decorated; a succession of triumphal arches are erected in the Borough of Paddington, each with an appropriate word of welcome and window seats" fetched high prices. It is stated that the Prince of Wales is in good health, though fatigued. I is universally recognised that he deserves and must have a long rest after his exertions as the Empire's greatest ambassador. which evoke the warmest tributes from the Press. The news- papers record and prophesy the happiest effects from his visits to India, Japan and elsewhere and declare that when the full story of his visit to the East is published, the King's subjects through out the Empire will increase their admiration ability and his exact, unerring sense of daty.

THE "RED" ARMY.

Berlin, June 21. It is rep red from an excellent scurve that despite contrary statements in the Soviet press, the dimobilisating of the "Red" army is continuing and it has practically been decided to reduce by fifty per cent., not only owing to the great difficulty of find- ing supplies and equipment for a large army, but because certain units are so seri usly disaffected that their retention under arm meraces the State. Whilst carrying out demobilisation the Soviet Government has resolved to increase the number of Communist units,
