PROCLAINLNG THE NEW KING.

oTTa ODAY, with stately ceremonial. King George V. is proclaimed
king and emperor. He had been Immediately invested with
these Offices by the event of the death of King Edward. In
the eases of dynastic soyereigns there is no interregnum, for the king
never dies. The cerenonias necessarily come after. Today the
official proclamation of the new reign. Later will come the splendid
ceremonial of the coronation of the new monarch and his consort in
Westminster Abbey. where all British kings are formally crowned.
England has been accustomed to this pomp from time immemorial,
and love of it is bred into the English bone. 1t is something the
Engnshman would miss in the event of the government changing 10
a republic. Custom and tradition are the great bulwarks of a
nations political institutions, and they have the strongest hold upon
an insular people.
