THE CROWN PRINCE OF JAPAN.

London, May 9,

The Japanese warships entered Portsmouth Dockyard at 8 o'clock this morning in bright sunshine, The Prince of Wales boarded the Katori and was warmly greeted by the Crown Prince Hirohito, whom he conducted ashore. At 10.30 a.m. they were received by the Lord Lieutenant of the County and naval and military dignitaries. The Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth came last, presenting an address on behalf of the city.

In the address welcoming the Cibwn Prince' Hirohito to Ports- mouth it was hoped that his visit would consolidate and further strengthen the friendly feeling for the good of both countries and the peace of the world. The two Princes left by a special train for London. At 10.40 a.m. all the ships and shore batteries gave a Royal- Salute, the bands playing the Japanese National Anthem.

The Crown Prince Hirohito was profoundly impressed with the cordiality and magnificence of the reception at Portsmouth. Never were arrangements for the landing of a rayal guest in Portsmouth more picturesque. The blaze of decorations, uniforms and innumer- able flags fluttering in the breeze formed an unforgettable colour scheme. It was a fine scene as the Royal train loft, the Prince of Wales and the Crown Prince Hirohito standing side by side in the saloon at salute in response to the thunder of guns and the strains of the Anglo-Japanese National Anthems by military bands. Huge crowds in the vicinity of the station and along the narrow streets of Portsmouth cheered and waved.handkerchiefs as the train passed.

Similar scenes of enthusiasm occurred on the arrival in London. Victoria Station was festooned with Anglo-Japanese flags and the platform was bright with the uniforma of Japanese, British naval and military officers and the scarlet tunics of a detachment of the Grenadier Guards whose band played the Japanese National Anthem on arrival of the train at 12.40 p.m. The Duke of Connaught, Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, Admiral Beatty and Lord Curzon were among the early arrivals. His Majesty the King in a Field Marshal's uniform accompanied by the Duke of York in naval uniform arrived at 12.25 p.m. The King was warmly greeted by the Crown Prince Hirohits Alighting from the train the Crown Prince Hirohito shook hands with the distinguished persons present, after which Prince Hirohito, Prince Kanin, the King, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York inspected the guard of honour. Prince Hirohito, Prince Kanin, the King and the Prince of Wales left the station in the state coach at 12.50 p.m. to the strains of the Japanese National Anthem.

Later

The Crown Prince Hirohito accompanied by the Prince of Wales urrived in London. They were welcomed at Victoria by His Majesty the King, the Duke of York, the Duke of Connaught, Mr. Lloyd' George and members of the Cabinet, the First Sea Lord, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, the Chief of the Air Staff, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, officials from the Japanese Embassy, members of the Japanese Society and Japanese colony and a guard of honour. The Sects Guards' and played the Japanese National Anthems which a Iarge crowd loudly cheered,

The Crown Prince Hirohito accompanied by the King and the Prince of Wales went in procession from Victoria to Buckingham Palace where they were cordially received by the Queen and Princess Mary. The dense crowds in the streets were most enthusiastic,

SERIOUS ALDERSHOT RIOT.

London, May 9,

were

A serious riot occurred at Aldershot. Shop windows smashed and the shops looted by uniformed men accompanied by a large party with a red flag. Two or three police were injured. The outbreak was apparently due to discontent amongst reservists called up in connection with the coal dispute.

Later.

All is now quiet in Aldershot. The riot is apparently, such as Occasionally occurs on Saturday nights where large bodies of troops are gathered. They begun by smashing the windows of omnibuses. The soldiers concerned wore no badges but were excited by an erroneous report that their comrades were being detained in the guard room. The actual window-smashers.. were comparatively a small party but hundreds of soldiers followed the rioters. Many treated the matter as a joke while some remonstrated with the rioters.

MR. CHURCHILL'S AIR SCHEME IN MESOPOTAMIA.

London, May 9.

The Times-leader refers apparently to an inspired forecast of Mr. Churchill's Middle East programme, which epitomises as grandiose, schemes of Pan-Arabian dreamers and says that, if there is any foundation for the plans ascribed to Mr. Churchill, he is dangerously misled. His projects involve Britain and the whole British Empire possibly to limitable risks and no scheme for a united Arabia can ever be attained if Ibnsaud, ruler of the Nejd, is left outside. In any case the Arab chieftains are torn by mutual jealousies, and it declares it to be playing with fire and asking for another siege like Kut to make a big air station in Mesopotamia and leave it under the protection of a lonely brigade fur from the sea.

JOAN OF ARC CELEBRATIONS IN FRANCE.

Paris, May 9.

The Joan of Arc celébrations were held throughout France on Sunday most enthusiastically, particularly where they coincided with the departure of drafts to the Rhineland. But there were red flagged anti-war counter-demonstrations at Limoges, Brest and ether places. Shots fired by an anti-war mob near Saint Gervais led to a conflict wherein 40 police and municipal guards and 30 demonstrators were injured.

CHINESE ENVOY RETURNING TO PARIS.

London, May 9.

Chu Chi Chien is returning to Paris. Prior to leaving London he visited the School of Oriental Studies accompanied by Dr. Wellington Keo and was greatly interceted in the encouragement given to the study of the Chinese language and literature, and the large collection of Chinese werks in the school library, to which he presented a catalogue of the Peking Library.

Conference which, he said, had further strengthened the Allies union, M. Brland stated that no equivocal or dilatory reply from Germany will be admitted. Germany is to bind herself definitely and if she is untrue, to her word troops will move forward at any timo.--Vale.

The feature of Chesterfields is that they begin where other cigarettes Icave of.

In other words, besides pleasing the taste, Chesterfields go them all one better-they satisfy! Just like a long drink of cold water satisfies when you're thirsty.

No other cigarette can give you this new enjoyment because none can copy Chester- field's blend.

It's a blend of the finest TURKISH tobaccos from Xanthi, Cavalla, Smyrna and Samsoun and several varieties of the choicest American. And the blend itself--the skill with which these tobaccos have been proportioned is a real discovery in cigarette making.

THE COAL CRISIS.

They SATISFY!

London, May 5. Lord Weir submitted to the Government a constructive scheme to settle the coal dispute which has obtained the widest prominence in the press. He declares that all proposals based entirely on wage changes are foredoomed to failure owing to the falling of coal prices and they would also cause the closing of many mines. Therefore the problem is to bring the price of coal to an international competitive level with the least interference of wages, as cheaper coal is essential to a revival of industry. The cost per ton of coal in March was 39 per ton whereof the wage cast was 279. Industry requires coal at 20 per ton. Lord Weir therefore suggests a return to the 8-hour shift thus reducing the wage coat to twenty-four shillings.
