NAVY GREEIS
 KING GEORGE
MOST GORGEOUS WATER PA CHANT EVER KNOWN IN THE
 HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
American Ship Delaware Was Pronfi- nent in the Navy Representa- ton of the World as Shown
 at Portsmouth.

Portsmouth, June 24.-The war ships of the world boomed out royal salute today in honor of Engiand's sailor king.
 Bright sunshine came at least to lend it's bFlliancy to one of the most impressive scenes of all the gorgeous pageantry attending the coronation of George V.
 In a donble line six miles. in length floated the mightiest of British war ships. These lines were joined at either end by two mile stretches of smaller craft, while off the Isle Of Wigit eighteen foreign vessels lay dressed in gitering colors.
 It was an ideal day when the king sailed out from Portsouth harbor to review his fleet and the foreign ves- sells assembled to do him honor. The waters never heli as large a fleet. and it was the most effective ever DluuSilb lOSClHCis A@fEt} tiood WaR represented and every one of the IS! ships anchored ,hr re were ready for immediate service.
 l All the British ships in the .ong lines were on the active list and Of the visitors, four were of the most modern construction-ihe American battleship Delaware, the Von Der Tam. representing Germany; the Danton France, and the Radetzky. Austria.
 The Mesquite fleet had position along the shore and behind the little craft in the mouth of the bay innu- merable yachts were drawn up. Sur rounding the fleet were scores of big liners, including the Atlantic liners LaSavoie and George Washington, on which were hundreds of American visitors.
 AS the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert entered the line the men mdHHeu tue Shlpo oiuco' ehe c'A- thundered, and the bands playei the national anthem.
 On the bridge the king stood ill an admirals uniform, acknowledging the cheers of the sailors and visitors. Captain Cove and the men of the Delaware and the guests aboard gave the king cheer which was truly American, to which his majesty re- piled with a salute.
 Tae Delaware looked magnificent. From the tops of her fighting masts she flew imense American and Britt ish flags, which topped all the rest. Bunting and fleet flags were entwined between the masts and along the rig ging, while astern another monster stars and stripes floated. When the royal yacht dropped afi- ehor the senior officer of all the ships went aboard. As Captain Cove stepped aboard ne was warmly well comed. For several minutes the king chatted with the officers and thanked them warmly for their pres
 ence. As the royal yacht turnei her head toward Portsmouth the s-alutes
 were repeated and the sailors lcheered again and again.
 The king spent the night at Ports mouth and witnessed the illumination
 of the ships from the signal tower.
