KING GEORGE, CLAD in
KHAKI, MAKES ADDRESS
AS PARLIAMENT OPENS

London, Feb. SKIING George in
opening parliament yesterday said that
the response of the Allies to the invi-
tation of the president Of the United
States outlined their aims as far as
could be done at present. The king
added:
Threats of further outrages on the
public order and the common rights
of humanity serve to steel our deter
mination."
The opening of parliament, always
picturesque, was shorn of much OF It's
color and ponp: The peers wore none
of the customary robes and regal1a
The king was clad in a khaki uniform
and all the lords and members of the
house of commons who are entitled to
wear either khaki or navy blue follow
ed the example of the king. There
also were other innovations in keep
ing with the time of war. The I'M
perial escore consisted Of officers OF
the Overseas fighting forces. The
royal gallery in the house of lords was
set apart for wounded soldiers. For
the first time in the history of parlia-
ment the Importance of the foreign
press was recognized by the allotment
of seats in the press gallery to CORE
spondents from Allied and neutral
countries.
The weather was clear and crisp
and as the royal procession passed
from Buckingham palace TO the house
of parliament dense crowds lined the
streets.
King Georges speech follows:
'For the third time in succession
summon you to your deliberations in
the midst of war. Certain overtures
ofAwhich you are aware have been
mahe by the enemy with view to
opening peace negotiations. Their
tenor, however, indicated no possible
basis Of peace. My people through
out the empire and my faithful and
heroic allies remain steadfastly and
unanimously resolved to secure the
just demands for reparation and res
titution in, respect Of the past and

yer collection which will be taken at
the close Of the performance. This
example of what efforts nearly all
churches in this city are making to
care for the recreation hours of
rect contrast with church social well
fare work of a few years past.
Aside from the splendid work of
the quartet, an outstanding feature
of the evening will be the appearance
of two Chinese students who offer Sc
lections on a Chinese violin and also

gard as essential to the progress OF
civilization.
"In response to a question by the
president of the United States of
America we have outlined. so far as
can be done at present, the general
objects necessarily implied by these
aims''
Threats of further outrages on

During the winter months my ma
Wy has maintained unchallenged its
ceaseless watch on the seas and en-
forced with rigor the blockade of the
enemy. My armies have conducted
successful operations, not only in Eu-
rope but in Egypt, Mesopotamia and
East Africa and they are fully prepar-
ed to renew the great struggle in close
and cordial cooperation with my al
lies on every field. trust their unit
ed efforts will carry the successes al
ready won to victorious conclusion.

dominions and my Indian empire.
which have borne SO glorious a share
in tho struggle, to confer with my
ministers on important questions of
common interest relating to the war.
The steps so taken will, I trust, con-
duce. to the establishment of closer
relations between all parts of the en-
pire.
''You will he asked to make neces-
sary provision for effective prosecution

I am assured, however, that my people
will respond to every call necessary to
the success of our cause with the same
Fardor. and devotion that have filled
me with pride and gratitude since the
