PRESS

Vie: Some headlines from "Kaiserlische Köninglische Zeitung":

-- Serbian people salute new Hapsburg governor

-- League of Nations protests against Italian intervention in Central Europe

-- Austro-Hungarian Embassy at St Petersburg reports proletarian movements against war

-- Austrian Chancellor opened to international arbitration over disputed frontiers

-- New French envoy received by Emperor

-- Tirolian refugees arrives in Switzerland

-- Polish opposition declares support to Austro-Hungarian Government

Lon-Par: You will learn why it's called the ENGLISH channel.

Lon-StP: "Finland, Finland, Finland,

The country where I want to be,

Pony trekking or camping,

Or just watching TV.

Finland, Finland, Finland.

It's the country for me."

Lon: The marquess wants to inform everyone that he likes the mainland and is looking for an opportunity to visit the other European leaders. Any invitations to visit the mainland would be more than welcome.

Ber: Operation "Sealion" is on!!!

Rom: Due to the world cup in soccer, it seems that the English and French teams want to share a flight from Heathrow, while the Italian one has started it's journey on foot....

StP-Vie: On entering a strange land the Russian soldiers naturally headed for the

only place they knew they would find a drink. Our apologies for this.

ALB: It was great to see many 'press'; obviously I remove any that might be a diplomacy hint. Keep them coming & those that did not, come on!
