Sorrow in Copenhagen

Copenhagen, March 1S.-The deepest sor-
row is felt here over the death of King
George of Greece, who was very popular
throughout Denmark. For the past 50
years he had been accustomed to spend
a six or eight weeks holiday in Co
penhagen, living like ordinary citl-
zen and taking interest in everything
that concerned the life of his native
country.
When extra editions of the newspapers
spread the news of the assassination all
the theatres and music halls closed their
performances and the people left silently
The royal family learned of the assas-
sination through a press dispatch. They
were deeply moved. particularly King
Georges brother, Prince valdemaf, with
whom he had always maintained the
closest companionship when here.
King Christian received an official mes.
sage from Athens about midnight. Mem
bers of the royal family remained III
through the night in order to obtain de-
tails from the newspaper dispatches
Property in Denmark
Most of King Georges property, to
the value of possibly s20000,000. is in Den
mark. He was an excellent business man
and made a fortune dealing in real
estate.
He had a palace and several houses
in Copenhagen which he bought cheaply
and which afterwards greatly increased
in value. He also had many houses in
Paris. His money and securities were all
kept in banks in Paris, Vienna and Lon
don, as the stability of the Greek throne
was not firm enough at times to encour-
age him In keeping his wealth in Greece

The strained relations between the
Greek and Bulgarian contingents at
Saloniki gave grounds for fears that the

night dispelled such apprehensions by

Passed MANY Dangers

The King during his reign and particu-
larly in the latter years passed through
many dangers, but always went about
either alone or attended by only one or
two aides When he was struck down ar
rangements were being completed for his
jubilee and 1t seemed that this celebra-
tion would occur in period of national
triumph.
Personal courage was the King s
marked characteristic. on one occasion
when an attempt was made to assassinate
him, While he was driving with Princess
Marie, he rose to his full height in the
carriage and shielding his daughter with
his body furiously shook lris cane at the
two men who were firing at him at close
range.
The Kings popularity which had been
waning owing to the disastrous results of
the GraecoTurkish war, rose again at a
bound TO heights not before attained
earlier in his reign.
King George had another narrow es-
cape from death--this time at the hands
of one of his own sentries As was his
life time habit he was walking one night
along one of the quays at Pireaus when
a sentry challenged him. Being unwil-
ing to reveal his identity the King turned
abruptly and walked away. Without
| more ado the sentry fired. The bullet
grazed the Kings shoulder.
| The next day the sentry was summoned
| to the palace, complimented on his at
| tention to duty and presented with the
order of the redemptOr

stopping at Windsor castle, and the first
official confirmation Of the tragedy came
to the foreign office in dispatch from
Prince Nicholas at Saloniki. and was
transmitted to Windsor and to Marlbor-
ough house and then given to the public.
This dispatch announced that the king
had been shot and had died IN half an
hour. Another telegram, reporting sim
ilarly, was received from the Greek ad-
ministrator at Saloniki.
Earlier in the evening the press mes
sage had been communicated to the
king and queen mother as rufnor.
The greatest sympathy is felt for Queen
Alexandra. King George of Greece was
her favorite brother. She only recently
suffered another, although less tragic,
blow in the death or her brother, King
Frederick of Denmark. The Princess
Victoria broke the news to her and be-
cause of the uncertainty, she was able
to hope that the reports Was not true.
But it was soon confirmed by an official
dispatch Queen Alexandra-is said TO be
prostrated and King George and Queen.
Mary will come from Windsor tomorrow
to give her what consolation they can.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-19
Period of Unrest

Throughout the last Sew years Greece
has passed through period of unrest and
national danger, particularly over the
Cretan question which caused the war of
1897 and frequently threatened to involve
the country in a. struggle with Turkey.
Since then the King, however, had used
a moderating Influence and in 1910 by
summoning an unconstitutional national
| assembly finally rid himself of the ham
pering Influence of the military league.
Again, in accepting the advice and serv-
| ice of Premier Venizelos he placed the
country in his debt for it was this great
statesman who Strengthened out Greeces 8
domestic affairs and brought her into
the Balkan alliance.
The King was active in foreign affairs.
He was his own envoy and travelled much
pleading the cause of Greece in every
court Among other accomplishments he
was a gifted linguist.
In internal affairs he took the greatest
interest and continually visited public
works and public institutions He ruled
his people with skill and tact and knew
them thoroughly and the nation loved
him although heavy burden was placed
on his shoulders in reconciling the vari-
Gus factions and Strengthening out polit-
ical entanglements. Personally he was
frank and amiable and he permitted his
visitors to talk without restraint.
A Salonilli dispatch to the Times graph
ically describes the assassination. 1t says:
Shot While Taking Walk
"The King was shot while returning
with his equerry from a walk to the
White tower. He was in a happy and
contented mood and as he strolled along
talked of the war, of the success of the
Greek arms and of the capture of Janina
and SalonilSi and of this fitting climax
to his so years reign.
B Tomorrow, said the King, when l
pay my formal visit to the dreadnought
Goeben, the German battleship which is
to honor the Greek King here in Saloniki-
that fills me with happiness and content
ment'
''These proved to be the monarch's last
words, for at that moment a shot rang
out from behind Colonel Francouris. The
Kings aid sprang round and seized the
hand of the assassin, which was already
poised for a second shot. Covering his
royal master with his body. he seized the
assassin by the throat and held him fast
