THE KING’S JUBILEE
NO DOMINION CONTINGENT SEVEN-MILE PROCESSION LONDON, Dec. 8. As the financial Situation in the Dominions does not warrant incurring the heavy expenses which would be involved, the British Government has decided that no Dominion contingents will attend the silver .jubilee next year of the King’s accession. In other respects, however, the precedents furnished by Queen Victoria’s Jubilee will be followed. . . •
A profession - will be held on a seven-mile route through London to St. Paul’s for a thanksgiving service.
It is expected that the Dominion Prime Ministers will be in the procession.
There will be no procession through the poorer quarters of London on the following‘day, as at Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, but members 6f both Houses of Parliament will probably present the King and the Queen with an address in Westminster Hall.
