The action of the King created a sensation, but it was announced no dis- turbances occurred. Croatians Are Jubilant. Although denied their demands for pelf-government, Croatians were jubilant over the suppression of the Parliament, where three of their members were murdered. Three members of the Croatian party, which withdrew from the national Parliament after the shoot- ing of several of its leaders, were ap: pointed to the new cabinet. It was promised that the new r gime would safeguard the unity of thi state by guaranteeing ecqual tment and equitable rights to all ci was stated that it would prep: ground for new institutions and a new ministerial organization, to pave the way for a truly constitutional and heal parliamentary government. ; Public demonstrations were held in Zagreb, sironghold of the Croats, and Alexander was lauded for his courage and independence. It was semi-officially stated that the | tience of the King had been ex- austed by years of parliamentary - bickering. 3 Under the newly proclaimed law the King is invested with full legislative and executive powers. This law lays down that the kingdom is a hereditary monarchy in which the King is the holder of all authority. Local Bodies Dissolved. All local governing hodies will be dissolved and the district governors will nominate councils to carry on the work of the municipalities. An exception was made in the cases of Belgrade, Zagreb and Lubliana, where councils will be appointed by the King on the advice of the minister of interior. The work of the district Parliaments will be carried on by commissioners ap- pointed by the governors. One of the new ordinances changed and supplemented the present press law, sharply curtailing the liberty of political expression. Father Anton Koroshetz, whose gov- ernment resigned last Wednesday, after & struggle of six months, was appointed minister of communications. o Curious Crypt Excavated.

It clings to the throat, starting rclief quickly. Right away you’ll no- tice a soothing, cooling effect. REM does. It clears the air- passages and thus makes it easier to breathe during the day and sleep soundly at night. Not REM! It’s casy to take. Even children seldom have to® be coaxed to take it. REM is. Simple coughs usually ield to a single bottle. Rem- es that don’t help are expen- sive at any price. REM is no “cure-all”.
