Wilbur, Taunton 328,500 '| office by 105,000 | KINGS 'GREYHOUNI [5 ANCIENT OFFICE Danger is Daily Companion of Royal Messengers in Peace In a small suite of offices on the third floor of the British Foreign Office live eight men, They arc the bearers of the most important secret dispatches of the British Government, as well as many of the personal letters of His Majesty the King: they are the Foreign Office Service of King's Messengers. The present holders of the "Sil- ver Greyhound," the badge of their office, will probably be the last of a famous and romantic service, be- cause, when they retire, it is ex- pected that their duties will be tak- en over by the Royal Air Force, Like the British Secret Service, the King's Messengers work quietly and unostentatiously, and because of their duties, their movements are generally kept secret. Even in peace-time they are often in danger and more than one of the King's Greyhounds have lost. their lives since 1918. When this happens no public outcry is raised, and the mat- ter is kept as secret as possible by the Foreign Office, The Service of King's Messengers is as exclusive as the Diplomatic Corps, They are.invested with their the King personally, and they take their orders only, from His Majesty or the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Their sal- ary is £600 a year. During the War many temporary Messengers were appointed, but those were not in- vested with the full "Greyhound," 'and were appointed for war-time work for the War Office only. The King's Messengers were in- augurated by King Charles II to act as emissaries between himself while in exile in France and his adherents in England The First Six King Charles was dining at a large chateau belonging to the Duc de. Guise near Rouen one evening when the matter of intercommuni- cation with England was discussed. Eventually, after some deliberation, the King selected six of his most trusted officers to act as his mes- sengers. Three of them were to travel between Rouen and Eng- land, and the other three hetween the English coast and London, As it might be necessary to change the Messengers, it was de- cided to adopt some badge which would prove to bearers of dispatch es that they were delivering them into the right hands. Lifting a sil- ver plate from the table, the King ordered that it should be broken in- to six pieces, each section to con- tain one of the greyhounds which decorated the edge. Thus originated the badge of the "Silver Greyhound." These badges are suspended from the neck on a ribbon of Garter blue, and, at a distance, look something like the Lesser George. With each reign they alter--the greyhound is either lérger or smaller, and may change its sex. Passports of Privilege As well as their actual "Grey- hound," which is worn at levees, the King's Messengers have a small badge decorated with a greyhound which they wear under the lapel of their coats. Their passports, like diplomatic passports, are different trom those used by the ordinary man, They are bound luxuriously in red leather, and carry with them privileges even greater than are held by ambasadors. For instance, a King's Messenger may hold up trafic, commandeer private motor-cars, break through marching troops or hold them up. He can also order special trains, steamships or aeroplanes, and charge the cost to the British Gov- ernment. It is, however, seldom that =a King's Messenger avails himself of any of these privileges. The Treas- ury is a hard taskmaster, and the reason has to be a very good one for the Government to allow even its King's Messengers such luxuries as special trains and deroplanes. One King's Messenger who miss- ed his train between Paris and Pra- gue chartered a special plane and flew the distance. On returning to London he had to pay the cost of the aeroplane out of his own poc- ket. "King's Messengers must not miss trains," pointed out the Brit- ish Government. It is often believed that King's Messengers are employed in order that documents can be rushed from London to the various embassies of the world. As a matter of fatt, it is the slowest method of sending important papers, and really ur- gent documents are usually sent by post unless they are very secret, in which case a King's Messenger may be sent by special Air Force aero- plane. Destroying Dispatches Transport by air, howéver, is con- sidered by the Foreign Office to be rather dangerous for such docu- ments as treaties bearing valuable signatures which it would be difi- cult, or perhaps impossible, to re- place, and King's Messengers bear- ing such papers always travel by train. It is the proud boast of the For- eign Office Service of King's Mes- sengers that never once since the inception of the service has a Brit- ish King's Messenger lost his dis- patches into unauthorized hands, Many Messengers have been way- laid, a number of them have been murdered, but it is recorded in the archjves of the Foreign Office that in every case the Messenger has been able to destroy his dispatches. Very secret documents are typed on special tissue paper manufac- tured for the Foreign Office. This paper is treated in a special man- ner with chemicals so that it dis- solves altogether if placed in the mouth or touched with the end of a cigarette, Always Travel *'Second" Ordinarily, the dispatches are carried in square leather dispatch- Direct From the Tea Gardens to You DOMINO TEA =u.

The bags are locked, but the accompanying Messenger car- ries a key to all the bags on a chain round his neck. A King's Messenger leaving Lon- don may have to call at the various capitals from Paris to Angora. He will have perhaps two dozen F.O, dispatch-cases with him. He would not be able to get all these with him in one first-class compartment; so, as it is his duty never to let them out of his sight, the Foreign Office takes a second-class compart- ment for him and two tickets. Thus he gets the compartment 'for himself, and has a spare berth on which to place his bags, At the station at each capital messengers from the embassy meet him; he hands them the bags intended for their particular embassy, gets his receipt, and travels on without leav- ing the train, Dinner With The King King's Messengers naturally en- joy the hospitality of the embassies, although the ambassador is not compelled to house and feed then: In fact, there are times when it may not be policy for one of the 'Grey hounds" to be identified as a King's Messenger. In any case, the Foreign Office pays for the bed of its Messenger at an hotel, and for one meal a day. He is supposed to find his other meals himself, - There are only cight King's Mes- sengers at the moment, and they are never altogether at the same time. Two-thirds of them are al- ways on missions abroad. Once a year they are the guests of the King to dinner at Buckingham Palace, but usually only a few of them are able to be present--the others are on duty. The hounds" King recruits his *"Grey- from the Army and Navy, and each Messenger is on the re- serve of regular officers. Thus they do not have a regular uniform for levees and State occasions; they wear the full dress of their regi- ment, with their 'Silver Grey- hound," on Garter ribbon, worn round their necks like the Lesser George. During the War they held the rank of brigadier-general ex- officio, MAY JOIN KINGSTON Kingston.--At a meeting of the Portsmouth Council, Reeve M. G. Johnston brought up the question of the annéxation of the village of Portsmouth with the city of King- ston, and the members of the coun- cil unanimously agreed to a pro- posal to have a by-law submitted to the people of the village. REDUCF NUMBER GF ONTARIO COUNTIES RANEY SUGGESTS Judge Would Amalgamate Counties to Reduce Expenses Orangeville, Nov, 13.--A recom- mendation that the number of counties in Ontario be reduced, with a view to cutting down ad- ministration expenses, was made yesterday before the grand jury by Mr. Justice Raney. His Lordship thought there were far more counties in the province than were necessary and expressed the belief that four presentments for each county per year were too many. His Lordship suggested welding the counties of Halton, Peel and Dufferin into a single county with one jail and one set of officials Such a step would mean a big re- duction in taxes, he said.
