GREAT CONCENTRATION AT STUTTGART
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”)
(By. Telegraph. Copyright Telegraphic Messages Ordinanco, 180. Recolved, Jan. 28, 1.15 p.m.)
Paris, Jan. 28.
The French press, generally, to-day charged Germany with secretly building "an aerial Hindenburg Line" in the sup- posedly demilltarised Rhineland preparatory to "the next in- vasion of France."
The newspaper Excelsior hos described a chain of modern nirports, with underground hangars, each containing a hundred fighting planes.. It adds that the airports are equipped with bomb-proof quarters, stretching from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier.
There is a second line of similar flying fields, this paper charges, located in such a way that retreat to them would be strategically easy in the event of the first line being de- molished.
The press claims that the greatest concentration at any of these airports is at Stuttgart, indicating that the next invasion of France will be through Lorraine, and North Switzerland.
It was recently announced in Paris that it had been revealed that Ger- many was about to re-enter the
Rhineland with armed forces, in spite of the prohibitions of the Versailles Treaty.
Furthermore, was stated that following the funeral of Ilis Majesty King George, M. Pierre Flandin, the Forcigo Minister, who is in London for the obsequies of Britain's late monarch, would wait upon the British and Government to discuss wayя
neans of enforcing the Treaty Versailles.

His Majesty's Government intimated its concern at the prospect of any further breach of the Treaty, it was stated recently, although the exact nature of the action indicating this attitude has not been disclosed. It is believed representations have been made to Berlin United Press.

REVERENT CROWDS ATTEND
SIMPLE CEREMONIES
Simple but impressive were the tributes paid to the memory of His late Majesty King George V. in Hongkong to-day, when the Colony, in common with all parts of the Empire, observed the funeral of the departed Moriarol. There were special memorial services at the various places of worship, that at St. John's Cathedral, which was the official function, being preceded by the ringings of full muffled peals of bells, whilst during the actual service the big bell tolled seventy times.
At one o'clock, there was a general observance of the Two Minutes' Silence, at the --conclusion of which His Excelleney the Governor (Sir Andrew Caldecott) laid a wreath at the base of His late Majesty's statue in Statue Square. No ceremonial marked this simple act. which was, however, watched by a large and reverent crowd.
Ships of the Royal Navy during the afternoon fired seventy one-minute guns, as also did the Royal Artillery. Public offices were closed during the morning, whilst all places, of amusement shut down until 5 p.in.:

EDWARD GUARDS FATHER'S BIER
PRINCES KEEP SAD
NIGHT VIGIL
THOUSANDS MARCH TO WESTMINSTER HALL
London, Jan. 28.
At mid-night precisely ing Edward VIII arrived at Westminster Hall, dressed in fu Guardsman's uniform. He was immediately followed by his brothers, the Duke of York; the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Gloucester, all in uniform. The four brothers, led by King Edward, proceeded to mount guard over the coffin, of the King, their father, with the new King at the head.
After half an hour the King and the Princes left the dais at the "slow march." The Incident was the most dramatic of the four days' vigil passed with His Late Majesty, and the public continued to pass the bier unaware of what happen- ing. They merely thought the guard was being supplemented as the Royal brothers all wore Guardsmen's uniforms.
Throughout their thirty minutes beside their father's body the four stood absolutely immobila..
Earlier there had been historic, and impressive scenes at Buckingham Palace. His Majesty gave dinner to five reigning monarchs and the President of France, all other male and royal guests and the heads of foreign missions attending the funeral of King George, which takes place this afternoon.
The entire company wore black knee, breeches, silk stock- ings and evening coats. The dinner service was of gold plate. The servants were in blue or scarlet coats with knee breeches,
