ALMOST PENNILESS.
Indian Millionaire Stranded In
1 Switzerland. PLIGHT OP THE AGA KHAN. (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON', July 21. The Aga Khan, one of the world's wealthiest men, is stranded in Switzerland, almost penniless, with his Frenchborn wife and seven-year-old son. Interviewed by the "Sunday Dispatch" he said: "I can't get a cent through India, Egypt or London. I may have sufficient for a year with the strictest economy." Smilingly, he added: "You might say I am almost destitute. What's the use of money if you can't get it. We are refugees like millions of others and must be thankful we are still alive."
