· London, May 9.

For the first time in history soldiers from the British Dominions took over the guard at Buckingham Palace and St. James' Palace to-day.

Despite the wet weather large crowds watched 30 Canadians, with two officers, march to St. James' and then to Buckingham Palace, where they relieved the Welsh Guards.

Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, the Canadian Prime Minister, was among the spectators who watched the Canadians take over the guard.

Meanwhile, the King and Queen received the biggest and warmest pre-Coronation reception they have yet experienced when they returned, with the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose from Windsor this after-

noon.

Traffic was so dense that the royal car returned to London by an un- usual route. The police and great difficulty clearing a way through the dense traffic, and several times His Majesty's car was held up momen- tarily owing to the crush of vehicles and sight-seers.

Sir F. Mazo Speaks On Hopei Conditions

Trade Improves and Revenue Gains

London, May 9,

The re-arming of Chinese Cus toms vessels and guards, was urged to-day by Sir Frederick Maze, chief of the Chinese Maritime Customs, interviewed by Reuter on his arrival for the Coronation celebrations to-day. He accompanies the official party of Chinese delegates, headed by Dr. H,, H. Kung, the Minister of Finance.

Sir Frederick declared that the accumulated stock of illicit cargo at| Tientsin had greatly increased lafely owing to the fact that the Customs had organised preventive services on the railways and roads in the vicinity of the seaport which largely | Impeded the circulation of the smuggled goods.

Storms that are roging in the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and Honolulu may deprive several Manila people of insight of the Coronation celebrations in Hongkong.

The storms have delayed the de- parture from Alameda Airport of the Pan-American Airways plane Philip- pine Clipper, which was to have connected with the Hongkong Clipper in Manliu on Wednesday.

As a result, the departure for Hongkong of the longkong Clipper has been delayed. Sho will pro- bably not arrive here until Friday or Saturday.
