 QUESTION
OVER MRS. SIMPSON
(By The Associated PreSs)

Premier Stanley Baldwin grav- ely announced in the House of Commons that the government had flatly refused to yield to a compromise plan that had been submitted by the King and that would enable him to marry Mrs. Simpson and keep the throne.
 What King Offered
 The King offered to agree that his marriage should not interfere on his death with the succession to the throne of the Duke of York, Al years old, the eldest brother of the king, or of the Dukes children.
 The premier stated to the House of Commons that if the King should marry Mrs. Simpson, she automatically would become the queen unless there should be spec ial legislation to introduce. The premier declared such a constl- tutional change would require the assent of all the Dominions. He added:
 q am satisfied from inquiries have made this assent would not be forthcoming"
 Parliament With Premier
 The premier was deliberate & emphatic as he said:
 By the fact of Mrs. Simpsons marriage to the King necessarily she would become queen and would enjoy all the status rights and privileges. Her children would be in direct line of success sion to the throne"
 The premier's statement was greeted with thunderous appla- use, showing that parliament is with him.

Edward for Mrs. Simpson might destroy the power of the Crown and threaten the British empire, mot, Walpole added, "because Mrs. Simpson is an American born woman, but now an English subject by marriage, would Eng land spurn her as queen, but be- cause the Crown, which is sensi- tive to every high ideal, would lose caste through unity with a woman twice divorced"
 Bill Drafted for New Ruler
 It is reported the premier has drafted an emergency bill which will make the Duke of York sov- ereign of Great Britain in the event of King Edwards abdica- tion. The Duke of York, who is Al years old, is the Kings oldest brother. Both he and Mrs. Simp

OF NOME: TO THE CHILDREN

 OF NOME:
 TO THE CHILDREN
 For your entertainment l have brought to Nome a shipment of fireworks which I think you will enjoy and I hope that you all will be able to attend the display.
 TIME: I have selected the night of December 23rd after the Community Christmas Tree En- tertainment at the School as the best time; this for the reason that all the children turn out that evening for the Christmas Tree Celebration and if the pro- gram at the School is not too long it should be the best time for you to enjoy the exhibit of fireworks after Santa Claus has given you your stocking and the Community Christmas Tree Pro- gram is finished. If the weather that night is unfavorable the dis play will be postponed until later.
 PLACE: On the shore oppes- ite Barracks Square; a place will be roped off where the fireworks are to be set off. MT. Sprenger and MT. Films of the Coast Guard will have charge.
 The following will be includ- ed in the display:-
 Opening Salutes:-Nine extra heavy 9-inch Aerial Flash Sal utes burst high in the air with crashing detonations that can be heard for miles.
 Star Spangled Banner Shells:- A flight of three patriotic bomb- shells, two 9-inch and one 12- inch that fill the Armament with the glory of the National Colors.
 Salamanders of the Sky:-Six mighty exhibition rockets go zoo- ming into the night, leaving vivid fire trails in their wake. They burst with massive color spreads. Flight two 2-lb., two 3-lb. and two Alb.
 The Floral Frolic:-Two arenic Floral Batteries eject brilliantly colored flowers into the night, creating fiery tableau of compel ling beauty.
 Machine Gun Bombshells:-A 9-inch repeating-effect bombshell that releases the staccato rattle of machine gun fire. Fifty re- ports, each accompanied by a flash.
 Meteor Bombshells:-Two of Liberty's new 9-inch Meteor Bombshells. Leave trails of gold fire in their wake, exploding high in the air with heavy reports.

ward and Mrs. Simpson. The de mand for papers is the greatest since the Armistice, and news vendors have never done such a rushing business as now since the termination of fighting in the world war. Only a few first edi- tions reach the suburbs of Lon don, so great is the demand. This is the first time that English pa- pers have published full accounts of the Kings infatuation for Mrs Simpson and it's possible develop ments, although all the papers have kept representative follow ing details of the love affair for months.
 Statement by LabOrite
 Colonel, the Right Honorable Joshua Clement Wedgewood, Laborite leader and member of the House of Commons, told the British press that apparently the king is winning out on his con- tention to keep the friendship of Mrs. Simpson and to retain his throne.
 The Colonel added: The King is beloved. One thing that we have got to avoid is his abdica- ton. Any change will tear the country in two. If general el- ection comes, the outcome will be on the side of the King" British Authors View
