The following message from His Majesty the King

headed Buckingham Palace will be published tomorrow morn-

ing Saturday: =

To my people. At this grave moment in the struggle

between my people and a high organised enemy who has

transgressed the laws of nations and changed the ordinanee

that binds civilized Europe together I appeal to you.

I rejoice in my Empire's effort and I feel pride in

the voluntary response from my subjects all over the

world who have sacrificed home fortune and life itself in

order that another may not inherit the free Empire which

their ancestors and mine have built.

I ask you to make good these sacrifices. The end is

not in sight. More mon and yet more are wanted to keep my

Armies inthe field and through them to secure victory

and enduring peace.

In ancient days the darkest moment has ever produced

in men of our race the sternest resolve.

I ask you men of all classes to come forward volun-

tarily and take your share in the fight.

In freely responding to my appeal you will be giving your support to our brothers who for long months nobly upheld Britain's past traditions and the glory of her arms.

GEORGE R.I.

Domar Law.
