LONDON, Dec. 8 Q.N.S0-Pre-
mier Baldwin and Mrs. Simpson
having spoken, the next move in
the constitutional emergency is
now definitely UP to the King. the
British press agrees today, adding
that the possibility of solution
has been greatly enhanced by
Mrs. Simpsons willingness to
withdraw"
Says the Glasgow Bulletin:
Mrs. Simpson has made a
great gesture. She has earned
the empires gratitude, and it
now remains for the King to
complete the act of renuncia-
tiOn."
MOVE UP TO KING
The London News Chronicle
points out:
"NO certainty at present ex-
lists that this means the end of
the crisis. King Edward has yet
to speak. His utterance cannot
be for long deferred.
"The way of personal renun-
citation has been made clear for
him by the act of the woman
he loves. What she can do he
also can do, and it is his duty
to do it,"
Almost as though it were speak
ing directly to the King, the Morn
ing Post warns him:
There is certain to be un-
happiness for the King, what

CANNES, France, Dec. 8 0.N.S)
Having offered to give up King
Edward if it would help the crisis
shaking the British Empire, Mrs.
Wallis Simpson withdrew into
seclusion today at the Villa Lou
Wei. Riviera home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman L. Rogers Of New
York.
One of the closest guards ever
devised on the Riviera was drawn
about Mrs. Simpson to protect her
from press and public.
Mrs. Simpson was feeling much
better today. and called for a hair
dresser. Instead of motoring in
to Cannes, as her hostess did yes
terday for the same purpose, Mrs.
Simpson had a man and a woman
hairdresser brought to the villa.
Both Are Searched
Even though the pair were
known at the villa, and were ex-
pected, Scotland Yard officials
searched them carefully, looking

Mrs. Simpson declined to talk
for publication today. Baron
Brownlow, private secretary to
King Edward, who is handling
Mrs. Simpsons affairs here. re-
ceived the writer informally in a
rustic lane, bordered with orange
trees, and spoke for the American
divorce. He said:
'Mrs. Simpson understands
that the appetite of the press
must be appeased. She is CRATE
full for the attitude which the
press in general has shown to-
ward her, but you understand
Mrs. Simpson cannot make any
statement"
During the conversation with
Lord Brownlow, Mrs. Simpson
appeared on a small terrace of
her room, dressed in a brown
dress and looking very we'll.
When she saw newSpapermen and
cameramen below, she withdrew
into her room.
Press Conferences
Lord Brownlow suggested the
French, British and American press
appoint representatives to be re-
Ceived daily at conference, and
said this probably would be done
"although I don't think there
will be anything to tell you" He
added:
1--WE can have a little chat
just the same"
Cameramen were admitted to
the villa grounds this afternoon
with the understanding they
would ask Mrs. Simpson no ques-
tions. They photographed her on
a portico of the villa, as she sill
emily stood in a blue jacket and
a black two-piece black dress.
No one here was able to throw
any light on the mystery surround
ing departure from London of a
specially chartered airplane for
Cannes, reported to contain a
physician and two British home
office officials.
BrOwnlOW Secretive
Lord Brownlow, secretary and
lord-in-waiting to King Edward,
who accompanied Mrs. Simpson
on her automobile dash to Cannes,
declined to see a press committee
daily.
His only contribution to the
flood of speculation regarding
Mrs. Simpsons future plans and
King Edwards probable reaction
to her offer of remuneration was
the observation that she plans
20 spend Christmas in Cannes.
Mrs. Simpson, he insisted, has
not consulted a physician and has
no need of one.

Railroad Seat
Not Guaranteed,
Says Court

NEW YORK, Dec. 8 U.N.SO.
A rebellious railroad "sardine, :"
who sued the New York Central
for $47.80 because he couldn't get
a seat on a train from Albany to
New York, lost his case yesterday
when Municipal Court Justice
Raimo ruled the company was not
obliged to furnish seats to paSSen-

The crusader, Morris Davis,
New York attorney, has been bat
Ting over the case since the night
of July IL, when he boarded the
6:45 p. m. express to New York
and stood up all the way.
Justice Raimo held:
"If a person gets on a crow led
train where there is no seat, he
may get off and take later
train. If there are any dam
ages, he may then sue the
railroad"

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-One year and
a day after the U-20 sank the White
Star Liner Lusitania off Ireland, an
other U-boat torpedoed the White
Star liner Cymric not far from the
same spot.
Same day the u. S. responded to
Germany's conciliatory note concern
ing torpedoing of the British liner
Sussex. The department of State said
the U. S. would rely upon scrupulous
execution henceforth of the now al
tered policy of the Imperial govern
ment, such as will remove the prin-
ciple danger to an interruption of the
good relations existing between the
United States and Germany. The
government of the United States takes
1t for granted that the Imperial Ger
man government does not intend to
imply that the maintenance of it's
newly announced policy is in any way
contingent upon the sourse or result
OF diplomatic negotiations and anv
other belligerent government.
This was Washington's way of saw
ing that it wouldn't accept anv prol
mise of Germany to behave that was
going to be kept only in Britain also
behaved.

Gray, son of Bowman Gray, says:
For the years that have come I'M
der discussion-1930 to 1935-my faith
er, Bowman Gray, paid more than ST.
100000 in taxes, which was more than
81 per cent of his income for those
years. In addition, following his
death in 1886, Federal estate and
North Carolina inheritance taxes
totaling more than 100000 must be
paid by his estate, which will take
approximately 40 per cent of the en-
tire estate.
I'm other words, out of each dollar
of his income in that period, he paid
81 cents in taxes, leaving only 3S
cents. Since estate and inheritance
taxes take approximately 40 per cent
of everything he owned at his death,
there must be paid out of every 38
cents remaining additional taxes of
more than Is cents"
