READY FOR WAR GAME
By Carroll Kenworthy United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 15.
Sky fighting on a greater scale than ever known in sea "war" was ahead for the United States fleet to-day as it prepared to steam into the north Pacific from California ports for annual naval manoeuvres,

THE OLDEST REGIMENT
REVIEW BY THE KING
By A Correspondent
The Honourable Arüllery Company, which claims to be the oldest regl ment in the British Army, though the dote of actual origin has been lost in the mists of time, is busily preparing to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the granting of Charter of Incorpora- tion by Henry the Eighth,
These celebrations might be said to begin in May when the H.AC., for the first time in half a century, will take part in the Royal Tournament, 124 men of all ranks appearing in the episode, "A Field Day of 1829."
Because these civilian soldiers, mem- bers of the senior unk in the Ter- ritorial Force, are "something in the City" by day, the episode is being presented only at night performances, baye on the opening afternoon, when the Tournament is opened by the King, | Captain-General of the HLÁC.
