SWISS ANNIVERSARY.
BRITISH ROYAL GREETING. (Rev. 11.45 a.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 1. The following is the text of a telegram from the King to the President and Federal Council of the Swiss Confederation on the occasion of the 650th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation : “1 desire to convey my warm congratulations on the auspicious occasion of the Gsoth anniversary of the Swiss Confederation and my best wishes for the continued peace and prosperity of the Swiss people in future. The Swiss Confederation, founded In- the free choice of its members, whose independence has been so valiantly defended by the Swiss people throughout the centuries, has lung been a vital part of European civilisation. The acts of freedom and harmony between the different races so successfully embodied in the Swiss Confederation are fully shared by the peoples of the British Commonwealth and 1 am confident this community of ideals has contributed powerfully to the ties of sympathy so long existing between the Swiss peoples.”—Official Wireless.
