London, Dec. 4.

The Daily Telegraph states to-day it understands that despite representations of the Cabinet and the Dominions, the King's intentions remain unchanged; that there is no question of a com promise arrangement and should the King possibly decide to abdicate he will announce the fact in a message to Parliament.

The Telegraph also states that His Majesty has arranged for Mrs. Ernest Simpson, whom the King is reported to intend to marry, to fly to Paris this morning in his private plane.

THE TIMES IN AN EDITORIAL TO-DAY SAYS: "LET THERE BE NO MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE OBJECTION TO SUCH A MARRIAGE AS THE KING HAS BEEN UNDERSTOOD TO CON- TEMPLATE.

"If His Majesty had been fortunate in winning the affections of one of his subjects, then the whole nation would have shared his happiness. There are also many daughters of America whom he might have married with similar approval

London, Dec. 3.

Reuter understands that the Dominions are exercising their rights under the Statute of Westminster to make direct repre- sentations to His Majesty King Edward, with respect to his ---próncand marriage to Mrs. Ernest Simīpson, since the Statute gives them the privilege of approaching the monarch on any subject they believe affects them. The Dominions are also in close touch with, the Home Government.

The Dominions views are emphatic. The King is faced not only by his Home ministers but with a number of separate entities representing the Empire's governmental opinion.

It is believed that much stronger į vlows have been put to the home been told government, which has bluntly that the empire countries will hot stand for the present mar- ringe, in any form,

At the present moment consiani communication is being maintain-: ed between London and the Em- pire capitals. There is reason to belleve, mercover, that the combin- ed views of the Empire and Home Government have narrowed down to an immediate and simple issue: Abandonment of the proposed marriage of the King or His Majesty's abdication.

London, Dec. 4.

The masses of the British people support King Edward in his quarrel with Parliament. A bootblack viewing the evening paper headlines, remarked: "Jolly good, I says, romance in the Royal Family".

A clerk commented: "Why shouldn't he marry whom he pleases?"

A newsboy declared:" "The working people generally, lock, stock and barrel, are behind His Majesty.. I can't understand why he shouldn't have his own way. He's a man, every inch of him."

And another newsię added: "The King must think a lot of her. But she's been divorced twice and that's against her. You can't buck tradition."

Brisbane, Dec. 4.,

England suffered an early disaster in the first Test match, which opened here to-day, losing a wicket before any runs were scored.

Worthington, the Derbyshire batsman, was the victim. In attempting to hook McCormick's first delivery, he sķied the ball and was caught by Oldfield. The weather was overcast and threatening when the match commenced. The wicket was in perfect con- dition, and there was an attendance of 10,000. England won the toss and batted first. The teams are as -follows:-
