WAR BEGINS IN SINGAPORE
Singapore, To-day. For the first time the ability of Singapore, Great Britain's mightiest fortress. to withstand a large-scale attack is being put to the test in Manoeuvres in which Navy, Army and Air Force are combining.
Can anything have have happened to Colonel Charles Lindbergh?
This question is on the lips of many people, in the absence of news from him or of him since he passed over Calais to-day.
No very definite feeling of anxiety is yet expressed as Col. Lindbergh, who is accompanied on his new flight by his wife is fiving a powerful long-range machine and may have flown over France without stopping to refuel.
The famous aviator, who since the kidnapning and death of his child in New Jersey, has been living quietly in Kent. took off from Lvmone vesterday morn- ing with the object of flying to Egypt.
He was piloting his own plane and has not been seen or heard of since he passed over Calais early in the morning.
