King George, shackled by consti-

British government to save the life
OF Lord Mayor MacSwiney.
The King made his position known
last night at the annual dinner to
the servants at Balmoral Castle. Re-
spending to the customary toast
Long live King George" the King
said:
If Lord Mayor MacSwiney Is re-

the same time would prefer 80 great
a slight to the English monarchy

however, fully realizes his helpless
