Color Lacking In Parade.
The usual ceremony accompanied tho
opening of parliament the king making
military progress thru the streets TO
Westminster palace. but like the lord
| mayors show the customary color was
lacking. Instead Of the brilliantly uni-
formed household guards lining the
streets and forming the escort, sober
khaki marked the military features Of
the display.
Within the house OF lords all tho
usual ceremonial trappings were used.
In this body the kings speech from the
throne was moved by Lord Methuen
and seconded by Viscount Bryce. In
the house OF commons the speech was
moved by Sir Robert Pryde and sec.

King Georges Speech.
In speech from the throne at the
opening OF parliament today King
George said:
MY lords and gentlemen: The
energies and sympathies OF my sub-
jects in every part of the empire are
conferred on the prosecution to a vlc-
torious issue of the war In which we
are engaged. have summoned you
now to order that, sharing as I am
aware you do my conviction that this
n duty of paramount and supreme im-
portance. you should take whatever
steps are needed for an adequate dis
charge.
Since last addressed you the area
of the war has been enlarged by the
participation In the struggle by the
Ottoman empire. In conjunction with
my allies and in spite OF continued
provocation strove to preserve In re-
gard to Turkey friendly neutrality.
Bad councils and alien influence have
driven her into n policy OF wanton and
defiant aggression and a state OF war
now exists between us. My Musselmen
subjects know our rupture with Turkey
has been forced upon me and I recog-
nze with appreciation the proofs which
they have hastencd to give Of their
loyal devotion and support.
Compliments Army and Navy.
my navy and army continue thruout
the area OF conflict to maintain in full
glory their traditions. We watch their
steadfastness and valor with thankfui-
ness and pride and there is thruout
my empire fixed determination to se-
cure whatever sacrifice the triumph OF
our arms and vindication of our cause.
.You will be asked to make due n
, nancial provision for the effective con-
duct of the war and only measures
| which will be submitted to you at this
stage OF the session as may seem nec-'
essary to my advisors for the attain
ment of the great purpose upon which
the efforts of the empire are set. / con-
| fdentiy commend them to Your pa-
triotism and loyalty and pray the AL
mighty will give His blessing to your
council"
