1t used to be the kaiser who received the
greatest attention from the newspapers OF
the world. but during the last two years
OF KING Edwards reign he has completely
outriValed his nephew in public interest.
The prosecuting agencies say he is today
the most-talked-about man In the world.
Ihough subscriptions are not paid In his
maJesty's name, he is a regular subscriber

adverse criticism with equanimity and for
bearance. His sense of humor is often inn
mensely tickled by the comments of the
American press which give him many a
nearly laugh. Indeed. he watches for the
biweekly packet of clippings from across
the Atlantic with genuine interest. All the
more important and also the very personal
references to the king are filed and care
fully indexed, one large room at Bucking-
ham Palace being set aside for these vol
umes.

seventeenth century and enlarged about

two wings, The house remained without
interruption In the possession Of the Dukes
OF Buckingham. until the title became ex-
tinct In 1889. 1t was afterward leased to
the Comte de Paris who died there in 1894.
Stowe House has many associations. Queen
Victoria visited there In 1S45 and planted
an oak tree and the prince consort planted
two cedars in the beautiful gardens, which
are among the finest in the country. The
property consists of about 10, 600 acres.
There Is some regret that the Globe, q
London penny pape. has passed into the
hands of member of the Harmsworth
family, which now owns SO many news
papers. The Globe. once a whig. has long
been tory paper Of bitter and narrow
type and violently and ignorantly anti
American. 1t was fairly honest however,
and independent and had at least certain
degree of individuality. 1t is impossible to
say what it will be under the new condi-
tons. The purchase of this paper gives
the control of the Daily MAIL Evening
News, Globe Sunday Dispatch and Sunday
Observer and Sunday illustrated In London,
to say nothing of several provincial papers
and dozens of weekly and monthly publica-
tions, into the hands of the Harmsworths.
