Four hundred members of the Mauretania party which recently arrived in Southampton will visit Windsor Castle while the King and Queen are in residence. A meeting with royalty was not on the party's itinerary and it is not usual for anyone to visit the castle when the Royal Family is there. The King, however, has shown a marked inclination to meet transatlantic visitors. It is recalled that Ambassador Harvey was last year allotted far more tickets for a Buckingham Palace garden party than have ever been accorded to an American.

The Prince of Wales will leave London on April 27 for Brussels, where he will be the guest of the King and Queen of the Belgians. The purpose of his visit is nonpolitical; he is going to Belgium to unveil a war memorial erected to the memory of British soldiers who fell in the Great War.

The London Strand is to be widened to 80 feet between Wellington St. and Charing Cross.
