ions, the latter Of which includes me
dock workers. are expected 10 loiD
them.
The English Channel steamers and
railway boats plrirg the Irish Sea
probably will ne tied up, cutting IN
Engtands communication with the
outer world 70 a large degree
The effect on business already is
disastrous. Shops and offices every
where are being operated with partinl
forces. Many miners have been ua-
able 10 get TO their work. while the
shortage of coal and Of supplies
promises 10 cause the wholesale shut
ting down OF acforics.
The system of God distribution AMI
the mail service are disorganized,
but the government expects 70 have
them IN operation again without
much delay.
In view Of the widespread effect IT
the movement leading newspapers
like the Times declare that II is more
than a strike-it is class war.

"king George is much like other people. He reeeiv- ed us in his office in York House, his residence, with a. little ceremony as one would expect from an ordinary business man. Indeed, his office there is just what might be expected in the workroom of buSiness man, only perhaps little more intimate.
 "The King is not at all impressed with his own dignity and importance. He is very human and has keen sense of humor. He told us a story about himself of which Lord North. 'ciiffe. who was with out party, said: If you don't tell that when you aet home, i'lI tell it for you" So here gees
 "The King had been talking with General Pershing and General Elise in the open at American headquarters As he turned to go away he heard an American soldier say to another: Who's tha. bua?' Why replied the other. that's" .he King Of England" We'll" was the response, where's his ;roWn then?"
 "The King told the story with drolI humcr and evident eIee. One Of us, as our ehuckles subsided. said:
 You know. your majesty, many of onr boys think you spend most of your time wearing your crown and carry. ina your sceptre."
 Don't foraet my ermine robe the King came bacI>with laugh. Don't fornet my ermine robe"
 "After we had chatted a while in his cffice. kino Georoe said he would -e. his hat and show US his grounds. ~nrk<Honse was o;ven to him by King Edward when he married. and has been his home ever since-iust a plain Fritish dwelling. where he has always lived and where his children were ' boyn. He is very fond of it. H. got his hat. and with his Queen and all the remainder of his family that were at home, took us about just like the owner of any other country place.
