work together, even in moderately large units, and secure the necessary coordinated training.
 Contrary to general belief, the regular army forces in New England = the First Corps Area - are not large. They amount to less than 800 officers and about 40S7 enlisted men, or about twice the number in the Boston Police Department.
 of these, only $500 officers and enlisted men are combat troops, and they are scattered throughout the six states in ten forts or posts. There are in addition 300 in the Quarter master Corps, 200 in the medical corps, and 200 on duty training the civilian components, the National 0uard, tho Organized Reserves, and also the R.O.T.C. and 0. M. T. Q, The other arms and services are represented by small attachments, There are no regular army air units in NeNw England, except Q small training detachment of 2i men at the Boston Airport, who gre as- signed to the training of the or- ganized reserves.
 I; National Guards
 Backing up these small regular army forces are the National Guard Units of the six states. The Ma tional Guard Is largely in two ia- fantry divisions, covering the other states, with approximately 0,lOO strength. Other guard units, not il, these two divisions, bring the total in New England to approximately 20.740 officers and men.
 These National Guards Units, or- ganixed along the salf.e lines and equipped in the same way as units of the Regular Army, train one night . week and have two weeks training in camp in the summer.
 Finally we come to the organized reserves. There are approximately 7,000 reserve officers in the First Corps Area, who are preparing themselves in their spare time through schools and correspondence courses, and without remuneration, to take their place in the rafny in case of c national emergency.
 Theoretically, the reserve officer has two weeks active duty training

common informer who has inter
vened in Mrs. Wallis Simpsons
divorce case and. in spite Of the
abdication Of King Edward, she
is pressing her effort to halt the

Notification of the filing Of an
appearance" by the iatervenor
at the divorce registry was served
on Theodore Goddard, Mrs. Simp-
sons solicitor. shortly after he re-
turned from his flying visit to
Mrs. Simpson at Cannes.
Goddard'S dash to Cannes, 1t Is
now understood, was in connec-
ton with possible difficulties in
getting a final decree in England.
The possibility was suggested in
legal circles that she may sue
Ernest Simpson again, possibly in
Switzerland.
Edward himself was interested
in the intervention, and made
some inquiries about it, it was
learned.

which first dug up the news that
someone had intervened, sarcaS-

Miss Gladys Cote, the Lion
dancer" who was seriously clawed
during her act at a local theater
a few night ago, died today in
University Hospital as a result Of
her wounds.
She was Is years old and came
from Chicago.
Two last-minute blood trans

of gas gangrene, which set in late
last night after the girls chances
of recovery had been pronounced
good.
Tuesday night Miss Cote, who
obtained her job when her prede-
cessor was clawed by another lion
in the act and resigned, entered
the cage, containing eight lions,
for her dance. Her macabre
dancing partner was George" a
half-tamed lion retained in the
Skit because, according to Trainer
Noble Hamiter, "the act needs a
bad lion"
George" attacked Miss Cote in
the middle of the act, clawing her
viciouSly. AS the dancer screamed,
the curtain was dropped and a
juggler rushed on to the stage
apron to divert the attention Of
the audience.

The girl sat sobbing in the arms

as the State brought DR.. T. j.

YORK SUCCEEDS
TO THRONE AS
GEORGE VI
By DAVIDP. sENTNER

LONDON, Dec. II (IN.s.) Stripped Of
his titles of nobility and his income from the
royal estates, Edward VIII receded into pri-
vate life as David Windsor today and his
brother, the Duke of York, succeeded him as
King of England and Emperor of India.
In proceedings that lasted for less than four
hours from start to conclusion, Edwards abdi-
cation to enable his marriage to Mrs. Wallis
Warfield Simpson, of Baltimore, became final,
binding and irrevocable and Britain was
launched on new regime pledged to conserva-
tism, simplicity and respect for the traditions
of centuries
Edward ceased to be king at 1:52 p. M 1852 a. m
ES.TD when the clerk of Parliament announced the
royal assent had been given to the abdicatlon bill that
had been rushed through three readings in the House Of
Commons without division and passed by the House OF
Lords in six minutes
ANY Exile to Be Voluntary
Two minutes earlier the signatures that ended Ed
wards BRIEF uncrowned reign had been scratched
page of parchment by the three members of the royal
commission-Lord OnsloW and Lord Denman and the
Earl of Stanhope.
In all the rush of parliamentary procedure which made
Edward no longer king there but grain of
fort for the only monarch in British history to abdcate
voluntary-the only to throne and sCepter
because otherwise he could not marry the woman he
loves.
This was announcement by Sir Thomas Inskip, the at
torney general that Edward will be under compul-
sion to go into exile although he reported to have
promised his mother Queen Mary, he will again
set foot on British soil.
Will Thorne, Laborite MP, asked:
'Can the attorney general state whether there is
any truth in reports the King is being compelled to
leave the country"
Expected to Leave Tonight
Inskip replied:
"There is no truth whatever in the suggestion"
His statement was acknowledged meaning "Mr.
Windsor is not bound to leave the country and will
not have to live in exile But he is expected
