(By United Press.) LONDON, June 21.—While the London populace is In a festive mood iu anticipation of tomorrow's coronation of King Edward and Queen Mary, the city and government officials aro haunted the fear that the day may bring forth a tragedy. A tragedy of the crowd Is feared rather than an act of an irresponsible or criminal mind. The authorities have engaged nearly two thousand ambulances for duty during ttatf> coronation procession, and hutlureds of doctors have been engaged. Every precaution has been tal<fen. Patriotism gotydie better of the striking sakainr today when they signified that the were willing to man the boats to carry the crowds llo the coronation naval review at Spithead Saturday.

The Premier began hostilities this week by putting 500 new omnibuses of the latest type into the streets to compete with the combine. Its representatives say they will add to their equipment at the rate of 500 omnibuses weekly until they have two vehicles to the combine's one. The combine has retorted by putting 4,000 new omnibuses into service at once, by opening up ten new routes and by a general reduction in fares. The omnibuses and underground and surface lines have also established a system of transfers—an advantage never enjoyed by Londoners before. It is estimatde that one-fourth of London's 7,000,000 Inhabitants patronize either an omnibus, a street car or an underground railroad daily. LONDON', June 21.—A tremendous traction war is 011 in London. On one side is the premier Motor Omnibus company, a new organization. On the other is the $401),000,- 000 combine consisting of the London General Omnibus and London United Tramways companies, the firm of Messrs. Thomas Telling, the Metropolitan,the District, the Central London and the City and South London railways and the Bakerloo, Piccadilly and Hampstead tubes. The combine owns 20,000 motor omnibuses, all the underground railroads and many of the surface lines in the city. The dog quarantine is having its eeffct upon Punxsutawney canines. But few dogs are seen on the streets and practically all of those that do make their appearance are muzzled. The State man is still on the job and all unmuzzled dogs found running at large will be shot. Don't forget to muzzle that purp of yours, If you value It. The United Press associations' own Rome correspondent himself narrowly escaped expulsion from Italian territory recently as a result of a dispatch pointing to the danger of a serious, cholera epidemic In the country before the end of the summer. Only a showing that the message was not filed from Home, but from the French side of the frontier and that the correspondent was In Rome at the time saved him. "The censorship is so severe," says a communication which the London Chronicle's liume corresondent did manage through, "that It is next to impossible to send any Hews. Communications intended for the foreign newspapers, whether dispatched by telegraph, telephone or letter post, all meet the same fate. They are held up and refused transmission on one pretext or another. The foreign correspondents resident In Rome have no redress. Deputation after deputation has waited upon Premier Giollttl, but nothing has come of It. Further protest might lead to expulsion from the country, so the correspondents bow in submission before the will of the dictator of Italy."

Governmental suppression of news has been growing steadily more and more thorough for the past fwo or three years until a point has been reached practically nothing at all gets out except formal official announcements of purely routine events.
