operate between those rush hours If there could be
a more even distribution of the travel, fewer cars

must carry large number of extra at all times

George is now the presiding ruler of
Great Britain and her allied territory.

Lord Roberts and his suite will be

Emperor William does not hide his
intense admiration for England'S two
great soldiers-Lord Kitchener and
Lord Roberts.
Under ordinary circumstances Prince

Earl Roberts will proceed to Russia,
