King Peter of Servia.

(From The Daily Mirror.)

"The proclamation, however, as given in a later message, reads thus:—To My Beloved People: As I shall be prevented by illness from exercising my royal power for some time, I order, by Article 69 of the Constitution, that so long as my cure lasts the Crown Prince Alexander shall govern in my name. On this occasion I recommend my dear fatherland to the care of the Almighty.

(Signed) Peter."

"On this occasion" is perhaps a little invidious.


Two consecutive books in The Western Daily Press list of publications received:—

"Ring Strategy and Tactics.

Charles Dickens in Chancery."

The boxing boom continues.
