Each of the Powers' concerned made its own proposals, but all have been modified either by the Western Powers or the Soviet.

The second proposal from Bri- tain is a kind of compromise be- tween the French and British for- mulas for collaboration.·

areas concerned availed. themselves to the full of this opportunity of sending messages about themselves, and their personal affairs.

A great number of telegrams passed between the troops overseas and the mother country.

The file of traffic was particular- ly heavy with Australia and New 'Zealand.

So remarkable was the volume of messages far exceeding anything that could have been anticipated or has ever before been experienced in the telegraph industry that the Company has still a number of free telegrams on hand for transmission. In introducing the new service in this way it was hoped that some- thing like 100,000 messages might be received.

250,000 MESSAGES

It is not yet possible to give com- plete figures because in addition to messages from and to Great Bri- tain particulars have still to be obtained regarding into-Dominion and inter-Colonial traffic but it is already known that the number of messages exceeded a quarter of a million.

This multiplies several

London, To-day.

London observers do not dismiss the Milan event summarily, but recall the visit to Italy of Field- marshal Hermann Goering, and the statement of Adolf Hitler at Wilhelmshaven, that Germany would not commit the mistake of 1914 and look on passively at the encirclement policy of other Powers.

From these considerations, the conclusion is drawn that Milan was to be expected.

In

official circles reserve is shown. This must be attributed to lack of full information about the MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPING exact contents of the pact and to WALKING INTO THE SEA OR the fact that the men responsible WITH BUILDINGS, for foreign policy were not in COLLIDING A YOUNG MARRIED CHINESE London at the week-end: WOMAN, WALKED A DISTANCE | The text of the Milan communi- OF OVER TWO MILES IN HER que only reached London late- yes- SLEEP EARLY YESTERDAY terday evening and was known to MORNING.
