"KING ANTHONY” FINDS A CAPITAL

MR

HEREFORD. APR. 1.

R. ANTHONY HALL- CLAIMANT OF THE THRONE OF ENGLAND..AS ANTHONY I—HAS REAPPEAR- ED IN THIS ANCIENT.CITY.

He is to make it his "capital,” and has brought with him a com- prehensive plan of money reform.

Citizens of Hereford have been astonished by his gifts of "Restora- tion Bonus Notes."

These notes, the size of a ten- shiling note, and printed on pale green paper, are "one dollar (88.) in value," and are headed "Royal Mint, Hereford," and signed "The Master of the Mint, Anthony."

When he is King, he says he will:

Introduce the new type of establish the money reform; Royal Palace at Hereford; can- cel all war debts; abolish death duties, and insuo enough money to employers to provide all tho workloss with employment.

"King Anthony" has not pro- cooded with his "free beer" cam- paign, which was a strong point at his meetings three years ago.

Final Choice Of

Date Now Rests

With Dominions

EIGHT dates in June 1937 have been suggested to the Dominions Governments for the Coronation of King Edward the Eighth.

As soon as the date suitable to the Dominions is' known, probably in a few days' time, the Government, which has already made skeleton plans for the Coronation, is to appoint a Coronation committee.

When finally settled, the date will be announced by

the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England.

The Coronation of King not only of all his Dominions, but $3.60 per Doz.Pints. $5.70 per Doz. Quarts.

Edward is likely to differ in of each one separately. The Irish Bovernl respects from that of Free State has been born since his father and his grandfather. the last Coronation.

The ceremony may be cut by one and a half hours to only two hours.

It is possible that the oath, ad- ministered in the form of a ques tion to the King by the Arch-1 bishop of Canterbury at the Coronation ceremony, will have to be changed alightly to conform with the altered status of tho Dominions and their relation to the King since the Statute of Westminster (1931).

Singapore Apr. 1. JAVANESE girls were being regularly sold into slavery here for £10 each until, thanks largely to efforts made by the, Sultan of Johore and his Scot tish consort, the police put an end to the activities of the slave- traders.

The gang used an ingenious system of forged passports and documents, purporting to have been signed by village headmen.

Girls were bought from their parents and guardians and resold to purchasers here.

Scouts Meet

In 1937

Amsterdam, Mar. 25.

A camp site of 450 acres accommodating 30,000 youths has been selected near, the village of Vogelenzang for the World Boy Scout Jamboree in the summer of 1937.

The village of Vogelenzang is only a short distance from Haarlem nt the north of Hol. land, close to both the Eng- lish channel and the Zuidër Zee.

The camp itself is located against large sand dunes that protect Holland from the North Sea. The surrounding country is typical of the quaint, Dutch landscape with dunes, woods and sea on une side and the fint country of Holland on the other.

The Jamboreè'will be held. from August 1 to August 10, 1937-United Press.

An Ethiopian Diary

The form of question to which King George V. answered, "I solemnly promise so‘to do," was this:

"Will you soleranly promise and swear to Govern the people of this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Dominions thereto belong- Ing, according to the Statutes In Parliament agreed on, and the respective Laws and Cus- toms of the same?"

The chosen day is likely to be a 'Monday or Thursday.

The auccess of Jubilee Day, a Monday, makes it probable that a Monday will be chosen for Coro- DELICIOUS. nation Day.

Dire Dawa, March 3. Here is a short lesson on the language of the Ethiopians. Webbe means river or river valley and is not a place. It is an important word in this war because so much of the fighting is for the precious water holes.
