Queen Victoria is dead. and Edward

At exactly half past six ON the even

up his hand, and the people in the
room kneY that England had lost her
queen. The bishop pronounced the
benediction.
The greatest event in the memory OF
this generation, the most ~stupendous
change in existing conditions that
could possibly be imagined has taken
place quietly, almost gently upon the
anniversary of the death of Queen Vic
toria's father, the Duke of Client.
The end of this career, never equalc d

came In a simply-furnished roo in

scarcely audible words the white

at Windsor. With bowed heads the
imperious ruler of Germany and the

OF queen. the princes and princesses
and those of less than royal designa-

Six o'clock passed. The bishop con

There is, however. no definite assur-
ance that the amendments will either
be accepted or rejected, but there is
hopeful feeling that the foreign office
Will take advantage of a favorable
opportunity for bringing so years of
controversy to en- end and promoting
good feeling between the countries.
There would be little doubt that the
changes in the test would be sane
toned if the Davis amendment were
out of the way. This is the chief OBJ
stacle. because it is academic in form
and vague in application. yet on par
