JOHORE'S SULTAN MARRIES

The sixty-seven-year-old multi-millionaire Sultan of Johore had a happy ending to a romance in London, when he married twenty-four-year-old Marcella Mendi, slim Rumanian.

It was in contrast to his meet- ing and romance with Lydia Hill, London cabaret girl, whom i

ho first met six years ago.

He wanted to marry Lydia Hill, but elreumalances arose which made it impossible, so it was reported at the time.

Then Lydia was killed recently in an nir raid on Canterbury. The sultan has telephoned Lydia's mother each day since.

The romance with Miss Mendl be- gan some weeks ago when she sold him a Red Cross flag.

More Marked In Japan

German efficiency, as well as German political notions, may permeate Japanese Government affairs from this time on, according to confidential word just brought here by a competent foreign observer, says the Shanghai correspondent of the "Christian Science Monitor."

Four major Japanese Government Departments are now in great degree under the influence of newly-imported Gorman ad- visers, this source indicates. They are the Home Office, the War Office, the Navy and the Treasury. Rumours have also mentioned the Foreign Office but it appears that the German touch has fallen more lightly there-possibly because it was not, under existing conditions in Japan, regarded as of major importance.

Much had been heard previ- ously of German personnel and influence in the Home Office, and It is to this element that chief responsibility for the recent ar- rests and convictions of lending Britons in Japan was attributed,
