WHOEVER QUEEN
HOLDS On HARD
Will Not Give Way to New Queens
King George Getting Somewhat
Crusty Over State Of Things.

LONDON, June 25.-The deferen-
tial press has not yet dared to give
printed publicity to the condition.

are not progressing amicably be.
tween King George and Queen Mary
and Queen Alexandra. The latter
has developed such hysterical de-
sire to continue as reigning Queen
instead Of Queen Dowager that the
patience Of the King toward his
mother is being rapidly exhausted.
while Queen Mary's attitude is prac'
tically one of open revolt
Contrary to everybody's opinion as
to the ethics of the matter. Alex
andra continues to occupy Bucking-
ham Palace. leaving that dowdy
place, Marlborough House. for the
London residence OF the King and
Queen. This action is contrary to
all precedent, as Alexandra ought
rightfully to have retired to San
dringham.
But this is only the slightest OF
the many things that have tried the
patience of George and Mary, both
Of whom at frst bore Alexandra's
behavior with patience. but who are

King in Awkward Position.
This restraining hand having been
removed, Alexandra has utilized her
period OF bereavement to send out
numerous uncensored and unedited
messages. The King and Queen are
placed in a decidedly awkward posi-
ton and wish they could stop this
practise, but do not wish to hurt the
