King Snubs Churchill.
fRv United Press Associations

fRv United Press Associations.)
London, Sept. 26.-Diplomatic and
political circles are chuckling over
a snub recently administered to First
Lord Of the Admiralty Winston
Churchill by King George, and any
reference to "punctuality being the
soul of business" is calculated to get
Churchill's goat.
Punctuality is not one of the first
lords virtues, and he is generally late
for cabinet meetings and conferences
with King George The limit was
reached one day when he raced up to
Buckingham palace with some docu-
ments for royal signatures nearly q
quarter of an hour late. The king
was just going out and gave him a
stony glare and curtly requested him
to put the papers on the royal desk
for perusai later in the day.
Churchill wanted them signed at
once and incautiously suggested that
as there was nothing Of Importance
in them the king might as well sign
the papers without troubling to read
them. 81 always read everything
sign, Mr.. Churchill" retorted the
monarch tartly, and England's ener-
getic navy minister retired crushed.
The "Mr." did it, for in private con-
ferences the king always calls his
ministers "Asquith," "McKenna," etc,
without ceremony, and he frequently
calls Churchill winnie"
81 wouldn't have minded if the
papers had been about foreign Or
home affairs" snorted the irate sailor
king as he walked out with an equerry
"but / think know more about the
navy than Churchill does"
