CHEERS GREET KING
VISITS "DALMATIAN VENICE" NAHLIN EN ROUTE TO SPLIT BELGRADE, August 14 Frantic cheers from large crowds greeted "King Edward on his arrival on a motor-boat at Trogir, "the Dalmatian Venice," where His Majesty visited the 13th century cathedral and later walked through the gaily festooned city to the harbour. The King is due to-morrow at Split, an important Dalmatian seaport a short distance south.
A message from Sibcnik states that the Nahlin, on which King Edward is cruising along the Dalmatian coast, is proceeding to Split, where the King will meet the Duke and Duchess of Kent and Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, who will accompany the King to Dubrovnik, another port about 100 miles down the coast. FORTUNATE ESCAPE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF KENT COLLISION IN AUSTRIA VIENNA, August 14 Count von Hoffmansthal, host of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, was driving them in a motor-car to the shore of Lake Atter, to-day, when the car collided on a narrow road with another vehicle approaching from Vienna. The other car was overturned and thrown into the lake. Count von Hoffmansthal and the Duke and Duchess escaped without injury.
