DEAN OF NORWICH DEFENDS
Declares In an Address that Accusa-

Base and Unworthy Statements.
Not More sober, Temperate,
Quiet-Iiving Man in the Country.

London, July 9.-Rumors about King
George to the effect that he would be
found unfit TO rule the British empire
because OF his love of strong drink. and
about his secret morganatic marriage to
an English girl of humber birth with
whom he was said TO have several chill
dren, have for years been circulated in
England and recently became so per-
sistent that the Dean Of Norwich. in an
address TO a congregation of members of
friendly societies. found reason to say
with much emphasis the other day:
I'VE have now upon the throne king
who TO my personal knowledge is a man
of intense self-sacrifice and high char
acter.
Against him one has heard brought
two accusations. brought. as I think, by
that part of society which Is no society
at all. but as these things percolate down,
it Is Just as we'll that when speaking be-
fore mass of people. one should give
theslie to those two accusations.
In the first place. the king is some
times accused of insobriety. You may
take 1t from me on undoubted authority
that such a statement is a libel. AS far
as his close friends have noticed him he
has never been incorporate throughout
his life; but on the contrary is a man
who, even from the point of view of
health, has to be abstemious. and who
has no desire to be anything else.
I want you generous-hearted men,
when you hear some light. stupid talk
with regard to our king. to say with
absolute confidence that there.is not
more sober. temperate. quiet-livfng man
in this country than King George.
Never Secretly Married.
The other accusation Is stiI more I'M

Berlin. July 9.--About nothing are the
German people more sensitive than the
health OF their Kaiser. OF late public

the slightest ground for alarm. Like
other people the kaiser is but mortal and
like them is exposed to the small break
downs of the human system.
He is not gifted by nature with, for
example, the iron constitution of his
grandfather, Emperor Wiriam. I, or
Prince Bismarck: but. save for the weak
ness OF his left arm. he has little to COM

he has made on his physical resources
ever since he mounted the throne.
He eats moderately. smokes but few

the tremendous responsibilities of the
empire.
This kind OF life has gone on for many
years, apparently without doing him any
harm. But there are signs that so much
strenuousity and such a burden of
anxiety cannot go on indefinitely. and
voices are beginning TO be heard advising
him 70 check the pace and delegate to
others all the rough work. particularly
on the military side, he now insists on do

Men entertain an oft-auoted opinion OF

ditson may have been true In the medic
