REIGN OF GREAT DEEDS, SUFFERINGS,

Monarch Who Loved And Lived

For His Country

Deep In The Affections Of His People

London, January 21.

The nation's grief is striking manifested in this morning's papers which are marked with heavy black Lorders and feature the life and reign of the beloved. King. The papers publish many pictures ildustrating memorable incidents in His Majesty's life and pay solenin tributes to the Queen and members of the Royal Family in their hour of sorrow...

The Times" referring to the King's expert knowledge of the Empire says that for him, as it will be for the now King, his wide realm was not a map but a living thing in three dimensions seen and studied, and to his heir as to him every part of his dominions will offer more than constitutional courtesies-vivid flesh and blood loyalty: A reign of great deeds, sufferings, perils and great splendour is end- ed and the name of King George V. is added to the illustrious roll of those who have loved and lived for their country,

The Daily Telegraph" says that millions of men, women and children when the Empire when they heard the King's voice each Christmas or during the Silver Jubi- lee felt they knew him, more intimately than any head of a great state has been known before. Their affection will not pass with the King's demise. If ever a man has been ready and proud to give his country united service of work, mind and heart it was the great man whom we mourn 'to-day-Reuter.

"The Best, The Gentlest, And The Most Beloved.”

Los Angeles, January 21,

The Poet Laurente, John Masefield has indited the following

ode, which begins:

This man was King in England's direst need,

In the black hattled years when hope was gone,

His courage was a flag men rallied on,

His steadfast spirit showed him King Indeed. And when the war was ended, when, the thought

Of revolution took its hideous place, His courage and his kindness and his grace

Scattered or charmed its ministers to naught.

No King of all our many has been proved

By time so savage to the thrones of Kings,

Nor wen more simple triumph over fate;

He was most yoral among royal things, Most thoughttur for the meanest in his state,

The best, the gentlest, and the most beloved,
