BULLDOGS TAKE ON
FEB VANCE TODAY
Four Games Carded for
Locals During Week;
Townsville Next Foe

Today the Bulldogs met Zeb Vance,
at League Park. This is the second
game fer the Bulldogs and Zeb Vance,
the first game the local team got the
best of their visitors, but how they
came out in today's game was uncer-
tain when this article went to press.
On Tuesday, the Bulldogs will take
a tour to Townsville. On last Friday
the local team trimmed their tomor-
rows foe by a score of 6 to 2. Well
here's hoping that they do the same
away from home, as they did at Lea
que Park. This is the second time
that Coach Miller has planned to take
the boys off to play a game. The first
time was with EPSON on last Thurs
day, when rain stopped the Bulldogs
from leaving.
This week tine Bulldogs will play
four games, the first two are men
toned above, while the other two are
the Lucky Strike team and Aycock.
Both games are to take place at Lea
que Park. The Lucky Strike game VIII
be on Thursday, and the game with
Aycock will take place on Friday. Inc
game with Aycock will be played at
League Park, but this game IS

Free State, so half the world todav
knows, plans to renounce forever al.
legiance to the British throne after
coronation day. India, though it now

itself in vain effort to again submqatn

These are solemn questions that
even the die-hard Tory royalists ask
themselves in their London clubs
Some feel a personable and dramatic
king-emperor such as the former Ed
ward VIII could have held back for
while the disintegrating empire.
That is why many of these die-hards
led by Winston Churchill and the
newspaper barons, Beaverbrook and
Rothermere, even tried to form a
kings party in the commons fight
during those hectic December days.

Edwardian royalists at dinner pass
the wine cup across the glass of water
to symbolic his exile beyond the seas,
hoping for his return, there are pro-
phets who see the handwriting on the
wall.
These prophets point to the regency
bill passed by parliament recently, to
provide for an emergency sovereign
should George vi be incapacitated.
Heir to the throne in such circum-
stances would be 11-year-old Princess
Elizabeth. Seldom has such action
been taken during the beginning of
new rulers reign. It is not altogether
strange then that a few years ago
throughout England there was widely
circulated a startling prophecy: Ed

BY HARRY LEVIN

Must an English king be crowned
only in great ceremony? Is the coro-
nation, costing millions of pounds to
the state, with private citizens unof-
ficially expanding several score more
worth the enormous expense of money
and human effort?
Long before George VI was pro-
claimed king, prominent voices de-
cried the lavish and costly plans an
nounced for the forthcoming cere-
mony. Now with the celebration at
hand, murmurs of dissent are finding
eloquent publicity in places tradition
ally known as the bulwarks of conser-
vatism and monarchy.
An astonishing protest has appear
ed on the front page of the London
Observer, long favored by blue blood
empire loving Englishmen for it's re-
straint and respect of old-age Gus
tom. In an editorial titled Corona
| ton Nightmare" the whole subject of
royal pageantry is debated, and found
wanting
Z British Papers View
Says this article:
Grant the kingship, grant also the
ritual; even so why cannot king be
| crowned quietly? Why this colossal
expense when debts remain unpaid
and areas destitute? Why this pond
erous, fictitious gayety while the Brit
ish empire is being carried round and
round on the whirligig of DEATH"
The majority of Britishers tell you
such a poirt-of-view under any other
circumstances would be denounced as
vile, as an outburst Of the radical
press, and therefore to be ignored. But
the ultra-conservative Observer, speak
ing for a growing number of Britons,
further asks whether the coronation
not merely a great commercial stunt
so that merchants and manufacturers
an cash in on the solemn spirit of
| the ritual.
There is also a group Of shrewd crit
cs who hold the fantastic proportions
Of this coronation primarily is an at
tempt to bolster up the faltering Brit
.sh throne. Not that England is be-
coming republican-minded. Most his
orians agree the late King George V,
y sheer personality during his 26-
| year reign, brought the prestige of
monarchy to a new high level. And
,e accomplished this during an era
bursting with murdered and deposed
lonarchs.
"ROyal Jitters"
But England is suffering from the
royal jitters." You learn that the
ration has suffered a serious blow to
he idea of kingship, to its deep re-
ard for tradition, to its dignity of
sristocracy. Far more than you are
ed to believe, the abdication of Ed
ward VIII has left its impress so deep
n the throne of England, that it's
inal effect may not be realized for
ears to come.
Strangers and foreigners are not in

ions seldom are answered directly.
| But there are many among the most
ervent royalists who already see the
possibility Of time, in the not-too-dis

neither king nor queen.

over immense distances, and then
she remembered nothing more.
The first thing Of which Jacque-
line became aware was a dull ache
in her head and a faint, rather
sickly smell, the next, that she
was lying on her back on some
thing which was too hard to be a
bed.
For q time these facts were
quite enough for her. She felt ex-
tremely tired. She had not the
physical energy to open her eyes
and discover where she was, or the
mental energy to puzzle out what
was the cause Of that queer sensa-
ton in her head and the faint sick
| ly smell. Gradually, however, as
consciousness crept back, though
she still lay with closed eyes, her
mind began to stir, and she began
vaguely to wonder where she was
and how she had come there and
what it was that had happened to
her.
Colonel Lutman was mixed up in
It somewhere, though what part he
had taken in the matter she hadn't
the faintest idea. Charles, too, was
somehow involved in it. She had
been going to see Charles Yes,
that was it. After that dreadful
scene with Colonel Lutman about
the will and the check, she had
been going to see Charles to tell
him everything and to ask him
what she was to do about it.
Slowly recollection returned to
Iher. She remembered travelling by
bus-or had she taken taxi
She certainly had intended to take
a taxi, because it was most impor-
tant that she should get to Charles
as quickly as possible. But no,
she had gone by bus; she was sure
OF that now, because the conduc-
tors punch had failed to work and
he had made a hole in her ticket
with the tip Of his pencil. Besides
Charles had told her to take a bus
when she had spoken to him or
the telephone. The bus passed the
end Of his street, he had said, ant
she was to get off there and wall
i along the street and he would come
. to meet her. That was what she
, had done.

Colonel Lutman, perhaps; though
it was difficult to see what he had
to gain by it. Chloroforming her
couldn't make her marry Jim
Asson, and that, of course, was the
Colonel's chief concern. She could
not understand why he should be
so desperately anxious for the
marriage to take place; but she
couldn't worry about that now. It
didn't particularly matter for the
momene who had clapped the
chloroforrn pad over her mouth and
given her this splitting headache.
The most important question now
was, what had happened to her
subsequently and where was she
lnow?
She made an effort to open her
leyes. There was nothing to indi-
lcate where she might be: she was
in total darkness, without a glim-
liner of light even to indicate the
position Of a door or a window.

CHARLES had said on the phone
that Jacquelirie should come to his
apartment at 81 Crawford street
at 8 p. m. to tell of her misgivings.
It was a little past 8 o'clock
that evening when Jacqueline got
off the bus and turned into Gray
ford street. She found that it was
a long, rather narrow street. dis

There was no traffic save an occa-
