KING’S JUBILEE
ENORMOUS INTEREST Many Visitors from Overseas DANGER OF OVERCROWDING (By I’slegraph—Freon Association.) (Received 18, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 17. The King’s jubilee functions, especially those at which the King and Queen will be present, are expected to be so overcrowded that it will be difficult to accommodate all that desire to attend. In addition to the enormous interest in Britain, thousands of people are coming from the Dominions. One shipping company alone is reported to have booked 4000 passengers from Australia. Bigid rationing and balloting for places will be necessary. For instance, there will be difficulties afforded by the presentation of addresses to tho King and Queen at Westminster Hall. Nearly 2000 are expected to attend, including peers, members of the House of Commons, judges, and Dominion and colonial parliamentarians, but there will not be room for their wives. Theatres and music-halls throughout the Un’t'iJ Kingdom will mark the occasion of the King’s jubilee by offering free entertainment to some 500,000 disabled ex-service men, unemployed and children.
