SERVICE WITH ALLIES.
EAST AFRICAN SCANDINAVIANS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 24. Danish and Norwegian residents of East Africa have communicated to the Governor of Kenya a resolution declaring that they place themselves completely at the disposal of the British Government, and "beg to have the honour of serving His Majesty in all and any capacity in this war on the same footing as His Majesty's subjects." The resolution adds the suggestion that the Norwegians and Danes, because of their linguistic advantage and knowledge of the country, etc., would be most useful to the Allies if they were sent in the first instance on active service with the Allies to Norway to serve with the Allied forces.
