London Revives the Ancient
Ceremony With Pageantry.

London, Feb. 11.-Sericus considera-
ton of economic conditions throughout
the country was urged upon the house
of commons by King George in his
speech from the throne, which opened
the session of parliament.
Especial interest was attached to the
kings allusiOn TO the Russian situa-
ton, as he spoke only of the desira-
Diiity of peace in that country. Not
until normal conditions of life were re-
stored there and in eastern Europe, he
sad. could The full blessings of peace
and prosperity be assured to Europe
The session opened at noon, the king
immediately beginning his speech.
He counseled patience in the pas
sage of far reaching reforms, which, he
said, were necessary to meet abnormal
conditions. He urged better educa-
tlonal facilities, settlement of the Irish
question, adjustment of coal mining
controversies on an enduring basis
regulation of the liquor traffic and
measures stimulating the growth of
more foodstuffs at home. He said
bills would be introduced in parlia-
meRt dealing with insurance against
unemployment, regulation of working
hours. minimum wages and antidump-
ing.
Will Seek Irish Solution.
The condition of Ireland causes me
grave concern, but a bill will be i'm
mediately laid before you to give eff
feet to the proposals for a better gov
eminent of that country, which was
outlined at the end of the last ses-
sion of parliament. A bill to make
further provision for education in Ire
land will also be submitted. Absence
OF facilities for education for a con-
siderable part of the child population
of certain districts makes the question
one of urgency, but care will be taken
TO make the measure compatible with
the home rule BILL"
Refers TO "Peace in Russia"
Alter briefly referring to the peace
conference the king said he intended
shortly TO ratify peace with Bulgaria
aIN Austria. The negotiations for
peace with Turkey, he added. were
"being pressed forward with all pos
Sible speed" Referring to the recent
conferences in Paris and London he
said:
II earnestly trust that as the result
of these meetings settlement of the
long continued Adriatic DISPUTE will
shortly be reached. In order. however.
to assure the full blessings of peace
and prosperity to Europe il is essen
tial that not only peace. but normal
conditions of life. should be restored
in eastern Europe and in Russia. So
long as these vast regions withhold
their full contribution to the stock of
commodities for general consumption.
the cost of living can hardly be re-
duced or general prosperity he restored
to the world"
London witnessed for the first time
since 1914 the ancient ceremony of a
state opening of parliament. with all
its traditional nageautry.

nervousness, mental depression-even more
