JOHORE'S SULTAN MARRIES

The sixty-seven-year-old multi-millionaire Sultan of Johore

It was in contrast to his meet- ing and romance with Lydia Hill, London cabaret girl, whom he first met six years'ngo.

Four major Japanese Government Departments are now in great degree under the influence of newly-imported German ad- visers, this source indicates.
