FEAR IMPENDING STORM

AROUND CANTON

Scenes reminiscent of the 1932 "war" in Shanghai, when thousands of refugees fled to Hongkong from the northern city, were witnessed at the Kowloon Canton Railway station and river-boat wharves in the Colony last night and this morning.

Trains and river boats reported that an abnorinal number of passengers, the majority of whom carried their entire belongings, have fled to Hongkong during the past 24 hours.

An even greater exodus from Canton is expected this afternoon and to-night.

Thousands of inhabitants of Canton, fearing the

impending storm, are fleeing to safety.

MAHON'S COUNSEL ASKS

FOR SANITY REPORT

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH”)

London, July 16.

His Majesty the King is unmoved by the apparent attempt on his life during the procession of the Guardis this afternoon, and his only comment upon the whole affair, which has so profoundly stirred the Empire, was a terse estimate of the man responsible. "The damn fool,” His Majesty said, without heat.

It is believed, however, that the incident will lead to a general tightening of police precautions for the King's safety. It is recalled that as Prince of Wales the King disliked constant shadowing by plainclothes officers and often evaded them.

Meanwhile, George Mahon, the man who dropped a revolver as the King rode past him at the head of his Guards, has been arraigned at Bow Street before Sir Rollo Campbell. He denied any intention or desire of injuring the King. He merely acted as he did by way of "protest," he said, but did not elucidate further.

The earlier feelings of his subjects gave way to expressions of thankfulness that His Majesty had escaped the danger to which his great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, was the last British sovereign to be exposed in England, as long ago as 1862.

By a curious coincidence this, one of the five attempts made on the life of a King here, was on almost the same spot as the previous attack.
