Lord Woolavington was for- merly Sir James Buchanan. He was one of the greatest whisky distillers in the world,
He left £7,150,000, and with the exception of relatively small
bequests it all goes to his

Even when the £3,500,000 death duties are paid she in- herits nearly four millions, part of it absolutely and part in trust for her. And, of course, she is already fabulously rich.

"GERMANS MADE US AN EMPIRE"
WHAT THE KING TOLD A GENERAL
"THE Germans started out to smash the British Empire and they really made an Em- pire of us."
This statement wag made by the King in September 1910 when reviewing Australian troops on Salisbury Plain, and it is revealed in "War Letters of General Monash," which Angus and Robertson published.
General Sir John Monash, who died in 1931, was at that time commanding the 3rd Aus- tralian. Division, and in a letter to his wife he relates much of a conversation with the King which lasted two and a half hours.
"Will Win"
"The King made ung remark," General Monash wrote, "begin- ning If we win this war.... and I smiled and said. If we win ??
"Whereupon he throw back his head and laughed a full laugh and said, 'Oh yes! We'll win right enough. Nobody noed make any mistake about that.
""The Germans started out to smash the British Empire- smash it to pieces-and look, just look'-with a sweep of his arm up and down the marching columns-see what they have really done. They have made an Empire of us.'
"The troops were then drawn up and cheered the King as he rode by.
"The King rode with his head bowed, looking grave and solemn, and when he had passed the last of the troops he turned to me and said:
"It makes a lump come in my throat to think of all these plen- did fellows coming all those many thousands of miles, and what they have come for!"
General Monash adds: "I forgol to mention that the first thing lu did when he dismounted was to take a lump of sugar out of his pocket and give it to his horse,"
