gress to declare that n state OF war

days of Lincoln than that stated in the
matchless state paper of President

George had engagements that kept
him busy without break from s;l5
In the morning until : at night His
lunch that day consisted ot a couple
Of sandwiches eaten IN his motor car
when iourncying to inspect q military
camp
When the king is inspecting muni-
ton works. hospitals and military
centers IN different parts of the coun-
try he will often travel two or three
hundred miles In the day. On such
occasions he travels with half a dozen
secretaries and with three or four Of
iiciais OF the royal household
Two special saloon coaches are put
on the train. one Of which Is fitted up
as an office. with three large writing
tables for the secretaries, ana during
the outward and hOmcward Journeys
that part Uf the royal correspondence
is attended to which requires the
kinE's personal attention and uper-
vision
Not tong since the court circulaii
was issued. for the hrst time. from a
railway train. The secretaries coach
Is provided with telephone; at va
rious stopping places the coach is con-
nected with . telephone wire. ana the
king can then receive the latest new
from the various government Offices
or talk To the officials at buckingham
palace.
Il was during railway journey
some little while ago that the king re-
ceived the Intelligence that the son
OF one OF his oldest friends had re-
ceived the Victoria Gross. The news
was sent direct from the war office,
and the king at once telegraphed ms
congratulations TO the boys father.
