N/ said to have made the promo
wv ton of friendlier relations with
foreign nations the keynote of
his reign, transforming Russia and
France from latent foes into warm
friends and italy into an ally, George
V. will devote himself moro especially
to the development of closer relations
between his great colonial dependen-
cies and the mother country. II is in
pursuance of this policy that he has
determined upon the creation of new
personal bodyguard, representative as
much as possible of all the imperial
forces In his dominions beyond the
sea. 1t is not quite clear as yet wheth-
er 1t will take the form of brigade
similar TO that of the Guards (Which,
as every one knows, consists of the
Grenadier, the Scots, the coldstrcam
and the Irish Guards. and of the House
hold cavalry). or If 1t is TO form
body similar 20 the royal bodyguard
of gentlemen at arms. or to the Yeo-
men OF the Guard. The matter, how
ever is under consideration, and de-
cision will soon be reached, King
Georges idea being that on all cere-
monial occasions and at all state func..
tions his new colonial bodyguard
should occupy a conspicuous place,
General Sir John French. who is now
In Canada, will take an active part
In the formation of this colonial body
guard. Sir John. by the by, seems
destined to play an important role In
the new reign. Both he and Lady
French are on terms of considerable
personal intimacy with King George
and Queen Mary, who have frequently,
as Prince and Princess Of Wales. been
their guests at Aldershot. Indeed,
King George may be said to have re-
ceived most of his knowledge OF mill
tary affairs from Sir John French;
and this may be taken as a contradic-
ton of the story current TO the erect
that George V. proposed to rely very
extensively upon the advice of Lord
Kitchener, for Kitchener and French
belong to somewhat different schools.
and the cordially between the two
men is not very great.
