nance with King Edward paved
the way for her to become Queen.
Both were credited with making
new and inspired men out Of their
lovers.
Just as Mrs. Wallis Simpson
was credited with steadying Ed
wards nerves and restoring his
confidence in himself, so the little
ScotSwoman is said to have done
likewise with the Duke Of York.
Following his marriage to the
Little Duchess" York'S Stammer,

elder brother's-practically dis
appeared.
When the Duke of York was
about to mount the flag-draped
dais to open AuStralia's new par
lament at Canberra May 9, 1927,
he turned to the Duchess and
said:
Here we gO!"
She took his arm and whispered
softly:
Courage! You will do it all
right"
He did.
Conquered Stammering
It was she who helped an
Australian specialist cure the
Dukes Stammering.
His greatest difficulty was pro,
nouncing the letter "K". The
Duchess made him say TX" 20
times a day until he conquered the
trouble.
She first met her future hus-
band when she was S and he IL.
They did not meet again for 13
years.
In 1921 the Duke Of York went
for the first time to Glamis Castle,
the home of the Earl and Countess
of Strathmore, her parents.
First Proposal Refused
There he met a lively young
Scotch laSSie, Lady Elizabeth An
gela Marguerite BoweS-Lyon, who
served him tea and escorted him
over the family castle-Macbeth's
castle, according to legend, and
still haunted-and took him for
long walks over the countryside.
He fell. For two years he wooed
her. One day, towards the end of
December, 1922, the couple were
walking in the woods near the
castle. The duke proposed, but
the little Scotch girl shook her
head and said it couldn't be.
The duke didn't press his pro.
posal, but when he returned to
London he confided to his brother
Edward, then the Prince of Wales,
that he was broken-hearted.
Edward Aids Romance
When Lady Elizabeth next Wis
tied London, Edward called on
her, saying:
"I'm sorry you don't like
'Bertie.'"
She replied:
81 do love him, but / am not
sure he really loves me, and
I'm not going to make royal
marriage merely because he
has been advised to marry me-"
Edward tipped off York, who
succeeded in persuading Eliza
beth that it was a love match
and not merely royal marriage
Of convenience.
The court circular announced
the betrothal January 16, 1928.

Correspondent
LONDON, Dec. IL Q.N.SO.
Edward rushed with sorrowful
haste today through the mel,
ancholy task of preparing for his
exile.
While Edward spent the declin-
ing hours of his kingship in seclu-
sion at Fort Belvedere. his brother,
the Duke of York, and the
Duchess received the cheers OF
crowds in Piccadilly welcoming
their new King and Queen.
The belief that Edward will
choose and airplane getaway"
was strengthened early in the day
when Smiths Lawn, the private
landing field adjoining the Fort
Belvedere estate, was suddenly
placed under heavy police guard.
The public, which had been per-
mitted to have free access to the
lanes in the neighborhood of the
field all week, today were re-
queSted to use alternate roads.
Later, in a move possibly In
tended to conceal Edwards plans
for departure. the police guard
was withdrawn, and the large yel-
low wind "sock" was taken down.
Plane Standing BY
Edwards plane, which is his per-
sonal property, Is standing by at
Hendon Airport, it was learned, all
tuned up for take-off at any mo-
ment.
Flight Comdr. Henry Fielden
also arrived early at the airport
lin the normal course Of my
duties" as he put it.
Authorities are preserving strict
silence, but it was indicated there
is nothing to prevent Edwards
leaving even during the day if he
wishes.
Speaks at S p. m.
The public assumed that Ed
ward would stay at least until
tonight, since he was scheduled
to make worldwide radio broad
cast at 10 p. m. g p. m. Wash
ington time). But it was pointed
out that Edward can previously
record his farewell message by
telephone from Fort Belvedere
onto an apparatus at broadcast
ing house in London, and the
recording could be run off later
"a practice not froWned on in
England as it is in America.
A night departure from Smiths
Lawn, moreover, is declared doubt
full, because of the danger from
surrounding trees and the fact
that the runway has been short
ened by repair work.
The police guard was also
greatly strengthened within the
regal residence and at all points
on the estate during the night,
and today the fort is literally that
so far as outsiders are concerned.
Lights Kept Burning
Lights blazed in almost every
room at Belvedere until 3 a. M,
as Edward completed arrange
ments for his departure.
His sad tasks included exaInin-
ing private papers, signing press
ing state papers. and performing
the more personal work of arrang-
ing for small keepsakes to be
given to favorite employees.
Belvedere itself is a part Of the
royal domain of Windsor, and be-

comes the property Of the new
King. He will, it is believed, offer
it to the Duke of Gloucester, who
now has no country home.
Edwards staff today was form
ally given one months notice, it
was understood. In the case of a
dead king. it is usual to give his
employees half a years notice.
Some will be taken into the
households of Erward's three
brothers, notably George Lad
broke, who was Edwards per-
Sonal chauffeur for many years.
Edward, in abdicating, gave his
word Of honor that he would re-
main out of the British Empire,
but there is a strong belief today
that his exile may last for only a
few years.
Still Holds Many Titles
Where he is going is uncertain
but the Rivera, where Mrs. Simp-
son is, is practically ruled out, and
persistent reports name SwitZer-
land as his first home in exile.
Edward is fond Of winter sports,
which he often enjoyed in the
Alps with Mrs. Simpson.
The fact that the abdication
bill calls for a demise of the
crown" means the end Of all Ed
wards lordly titles, but it was
pointed out that he still is a
knight Of the garter and holds
many other titles.
Today, however, he is said to
have no wish even to be called Sir
Edward.
Financially Well Off
There is some talk of making
him Scottish lord later-a dig.
nifty that would not entitle him to
sit in the House Of Lords. At pres.
ent he is personally well off finan-
cially, and Parliament will take
care of his fiscal standing when
the new Kings privy purse is
voted next year.
A small crowd stood outside
Fort Belvedere today in the bitter
cold, looking into the frost-covered
grounds. Bright morning sunshine
dispelled the early fog, but the
only movement disturbing the
country quiet was the clanking Of
a tractor levelling Smiths lawn.
A police guard was stationed
outside the Duke of York's home,
keeping the curious at a slight
distance.

SiQned Bu ROual Commission

Had he wished Edward could have penned his scrawl
ing signature the bill which made him instead
of King.
But instead he left the task of royal approval to the
nen royal commission which sits in the House of Lords the

the bill with sharp criticism OF
monarchical practices.

least possible delay" Attlee told a

Searingly denouncing "paSt ef-
forts to invest the monarchy with

ite chieftain defended Edwards
good intentions" He said:
"Old-faShiOned court CeremOn-

his good intentions"

The Duke of York will be pro-
claimed King at st. James Palace
at 3 p. m. tomorrow.
The accession meeting of the
privy council, at which he will
take the royal oath, will meet at
st. James at II a. m.
Premier Baldwin, hero Of the
abdication announcement, started
proceedings in the House today
with minor test of his power over
the Commons. Moving the conclu-
SiVe second reading of the abdica-
tion bill, he asked that government
business be given precedence, and
that the 4 o'clock closing rule be
suspended. The motion was passed
by acclamation.
Baldwin Shows Strain
The premier, showing the strain
Of his long statement of develop
mentS leading up to the abdication,
gave a routine explanation of the
constitutional reasons necessitat-
ing introduction of the bill.
Making no effort at oratory,
Baldwin simply pointed out that
the royal act of settlement made
no provision for abdication of the
monarch, and that the royal mar
riage act had no provision for the
marriage of an abdicated monarch
or his descendants. He said:
ut would be clearly wrong If
the provisions of the marriage
act should apply to Edward and
his descendants when he has
ceased to have the right of sue.
CeSSiOn."
The bill therefore makes it un-
necessary for Edward to ask per-
mission of his youngest brother
to marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson.
Accession Plans Made
The young Duke of Norfolk,
premier peer of England and
hereditary earl marshall, and
Ramsay Macdonald, lord presi-
dent of the privy council, today
sped preparations for the pomp
and panoply of new royal &C
ceSSion.

Some 60,000,000 Germans
only people in the world who are
not permitted to know about Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson-learned
for the first time last night of
the crisis her romance with King
Edward provoked.

Police Find Liquor
Stolen From Store

Joseph Sherman, of 633 Prince
ton Pl. N. W., reported to police
today that his liquor store at 1885
L st. N. w. was entered early
today by thieves who removed a
bar from a transom. Whiskey
valued at $24 was stolen. Police
recovered the liquor in a door
way nearby.
The Washington times., 1936-12-11

At the time the royal assent was
given, Edward was having lunch
con at Fort Belvedere, possibly the
last he will enjoy at the turreted
old country mansion where he and
Mrs. Simpson spent so many
happy hours.
Kent With Brother
With him were the Duke of Kent
and Winston Churchill, the former
chancellor of the exchequer, whose
attempt to lead a Kings party"
to fight by parliamentary tactics
against abdication met with short
Shrift in the House of Commons
and at the hands of Edward him
self.
"Mr. Windsor" spent consider
able time in putting the finishing
touches on his radio broadcast
his last message to the British peo-
pie. He remained in SecluSion and
Belvedere resumed it's normal
quietude. No longer were there
limousineS and dispatch riders
rushing in and out of the gates,
but q huge motor truck took the
last of Edwards personal belong
ings and treasured souvenirs to-
ward London, presumably for ship
ment abroad.
Preparations are under way for
the broadcast to be made from
Windsor Castle, which is connect
ed to British Broadcasting Com
pany headquarters by direct line,
but no official announcement has
been made.
Takes Last Walk
During the morning, Edward
took a last walk along the terraces
of Fort Belvedere and through the
rose gardens he and Mrs. Simpson
frequently tended together. He
was alone save for his favorite
Cairn terrier. He then returned
to his study for last official con-
ferences with his legal aides.
It was reported Edward would
be accompanied abroad only by
his chauffeur, Ladbroke, the
steward of his household and one
or more buffers.
Putting an end to rumors Ed
ward might already have left
England or that he would allow
his speech to be broadcast from
a record to enable him to make a
daylight departure by air, the
British BroadcaSting Company Of
ficially announced he would make
the address in person. It will be
recorded for posterity.
When he has finished it and
taken last leave of his beloved Fort
Belvedere, he will doubtless depart
from England. At his own wish,
his destination will not be dis
closed until after he has left, but
Italy is regarded as a likely posi-
bility.
Riding roughShod over all oppo-
Sition, the House passed the bill
confirming the abdication of Ed
ward without a record vote.
BY the crushing majority of 430
to S, the house quickly settled the
issue by voting down an amend
ment by Laborite James Maxton
calling for a republican form Of
government.
Maxton's was the only amend
ment attempted, and the iron dis.
cipline of party rule in the house
enabled the Laborite's "republi-
can" proposal to be speedily
crushed.
