ROYAL TOURISTS
KING AND QUEEN OF AFGHANISTAN
Rugby, January 4.
The King aud Queen of Afghanistan will leave Egypt to-morrow for Rome on a State visit to the King and Queen of Italy. Their visit will last two weeks. Their Afghan Majesties will then proceed to Paris, where they will be the guests of the French Republic. They will arrive in London at the end of February on a State visit to King George and Queen Mary. The British Minister in Afghanistan (Sir Francis Humphreys) is on his way Home from Kabul to discuss with the Foreign Secretary and the officials of the Court the arrangements for • the visit. The arrangements will require a good deal of detailed attention because the ladies of the party, though they arc ignoring some conventions for the purpose of their European visit, must have regard to the restrictions imposed by their religion.—-British Official Wireless.
