He was associate editor of Success magazine from 1905 to 1909 and editor the following &U&71M Western Newspaper Union no proper place son, in this affaire as the French would term it, has progressed until it assumes world importance. As arrangements are being made for the quiet and uncontested divorce of Mrs. Wally and with executing certain agreements and conspiracies among themselves and with others. de- Simp- Simpson, American friend of King Edward VIII of England, it is rumored in London society circles that the monarch bachelor will abdicate in favor of his brother, the Duke of York, and marry the attractive woman who has shared so much of his time in recent months. In support of this rumor is the reported fact that plans are being made for renting the farms of the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which is the kings private property. Also, there is a story that this estate may be sold to the Aga Khan, the immensely wealthy spiritual head of the Ismaili.sect of Mohammedanism. Should Edward give up the throne, it would eventually be occupied by Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the Duke of York, and this succession would be decidedly popular with the people of England. The abdicating king might revert to the dukedom of Cornwall, which provides a net income of about $350,000. There is nothing in British law to prevent the king from marrying whomsoever he pleases, but no ruler of the country since Henry VIII has wedded a commoner. Court gossip in London says that Prime Minister Baldwin and the archbishop of Canterbury recently appealed to Edward for greater discretion in his relations with Mrs. Simpson and were hotly rebuffed by the king. English newspapers imposed on themselves a voluntary censorship in this affair, but it has been broken by the Sunday Referee which prints an article declaring the king may marry by spring, that this would result in postponement of the coronation, and that tradesmen have been insuring themselves against such a delay. Japan Not Fortifying Isles Under Mandate ,Tj'OR some time there have peared in print stories about how Japan was establishing air and submarine bases in the former German islands of the South Pacific over which she holds a League of Nations mandate. It has been expected that the leagues mandate commission would investigate these reports, and now Japan seeks to forestall such action by a formal report to the league in which she asserts she has no fortifications, military or naval bases in those islands. The Tokio government says it is scrupulously observing that part of the mandate which forbids the use of the islands for military purposes. of a Following establishment south seas bureau in April, 1932, all Japanese armed forces and men of war have been withdrawn gradually from the islands, the report says, adding that the natives of the islands never have been subjected to military training.

Monarchists of Austria, who would like to make Archduke Otto emperor, were encouraged by a speech g delivered by Chancellor Kurt in which, defying the little entente, he shouted: No outsider, but only Austrians will decide whether the monarchy shall be restored! The day of a plebiscite to decide on the question of restoration of the Hapsburg claimant to the throne is not yet in sight, the chancellor said.

Ivan Maisky, Russian ambassador to England, handed to Lord Plymouth, British chairman of the committee, a virtual ultimatum demanding immediate convocation of the committee to consider blockading the coast of Portugal against arms shipments destined for the Spanish insurgents. It was understood in London that Lord Plymouth replied that if the proposition were seriously made, it should be presented through diplomatic channels to the governments concerned.
