THE KING’S HOLIDAY
WELCOME BY JUGOSLAVIA. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] BELGRADE, August 9. Prince Paul, Chief Regent of Jugoslavia, and the British Minister, Mr J. Balfour, welcomed King Edward at the railway station at Jesenice and drove him to Prince Paul’s summer residence, where he was presented to Princess Olga. After this they accompanied him by train to Ljubljana to catch a special court train to Zagreb en route for Sibenik, where the King will board the yacht Nahlin, for his Mediterranean cruise, on Monday morning. The weather at present is rough.
The King’s incognito was strictly observed, though pedestrians at Salzburg waved to the King who waved back as he walked through the streets after visiting the Castle of Heilbrunn, St. Peter’s cemetery, and inspecting the Salzburg festival hall. The police detained a press photographer who tried to take a snapshot of him. The newspapers print long biographical editorials of welcome. The Jugoslav Court cook was detailed to help the King’s chef. A sumptuous touring car was dispatched to Sibenik for the King’s land excursions. There will he no official reception, the Prime Minister, M. Nilan Stojadinovic, alone greeting the King.
LATER... The King has embarked on the Nahlin.
Vast crowds, cheering wildly, witnessed His Majesty’s embarkation on the Nahlin, after an official welcome. Houses were gaily beflagged with Union Jacks.
