London. June 2O-The blaring bands and flashing uniforms of 65,- 900 soldiers descended upon London, today, giving a decided military tinge to the preparat tions being made for the coronation.
 The coming of the soldiers, brought countless thousands of sight seers to the streets and the worst street jam yet experienced resulted. The sol
 diers marched to the various parks, where they will be encamped until the
 end of the week.
 Another preparation under way,
 today. that savored of actual war
 times, was the stocking with provis-
 ions of hotels and residences within
 the coronation area Owing to the
 closing of street traffic and the gen.
 eral suspension of business, June 22
 and June 23 it will be practically inn
 possible to secure provisions at this
 time: Hotels, restaurants and private
 houses are therefore laying in stores
 as though in anticipation of a long
 siege.
 No such thing as special privileges will be known on coronation day. This
 was indicated. today, when requests
 upon the police by Princes, nobles and other royalty for special street places was refused.
 This bids fair to develop a big row
 but Home Secretary Churchill, who is eX-officio head of the police, is stand ing firmly by the orders for no pre- ference.
 There will be no moving picture commercialism of the coronation. This
 was decided, today. when permission was refused to a cineama tograph company to place a camera inside Westminster Abbey. The company of fered huge price for this concession | but the impropriety as we'll as the | danger was obvious.
 This will leave Sir Benjamin Stone, | theofficial photographer of parlia- | ment, as the only man who will be permitted to take a camera inside the l abbey and photograph the historic | proceedings, The Crowns that will be placed on the royal heads of George and Mary on Thursday, the robes and l other coronation regalia were taken | from the London tower today, and l stored in the strong room of Buck | ingham Palace, where they will be | under special guard until time for | their use.
 The old question of procedure In the coronation ocession-always fruitful of wrangling and petty jeal- | ousies-has broken out at this time | and King George is believed to be l greatly harassed over the problem. A tentative make up of the coronation procession has been submitted by the
 small army of special envoys, most | of whom are royalties, who no sooner ] saw the arrangements than the pro- | tests-Strong enough in some in- | stances to be plain straight kicks | began to pour in. Never were the | tealousies that lodge in royal heads | more clearly demonstrated. The Duke
 of Norfolk, as Earl Marshal of the empire, is supposed ito arrange the procession and to have the etiquette | of the thing down so fine that mis- | takes are impossible The Duke and the King were in consultation, today, | over this matter. Regardless of their 1 final decision, there are sure to be
 many disappointed envoys, just as there were at the funeral of the late
 King Edward
