A WAR MEMORIAL.
SPLENDID SCHEME IN LONDON. TRAGEDY OF A WEALTHY FATHER. By Teleeraph.—Press A«sn.—CopytWut, Received June 28, 7.50 p.m. London, June 28. The Daily Express announces that magnificent buildings, a stone's throw from the House of Commons, which were intended for a Government department, will be converted into a practical memorial of the brave dead. It will be called "The King's House," and will contain a vast bureau where ex-service men can obtain advise on any conceivable matter, together with financial assistance. Originally a wealthy man intended to •establish such a memorial out of gratitude for the fact that his only son passed unscathed through the war. The boy, however, died of pneumonia on board a transport while homeward bound, and the father was so severely shaken that he never completed the legal formalities. Others, notably women's organisations, then took up the idea.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
