Most of his life, the Duke of York
has been a royal understudy who
never had the chance to play the
lead. But with the elevation of his
brother, he now assumes starring
role as possible King should he
outlive Edward.
Through his childhood and early
manhood, the Duke of York has been
trained and educated to the
privileges and duties of royalty.
Studious and retiring as youth, il
was marriage that brought him to
the public eye and wide popularity.
Before he married Lady Elizabeth
Bowes-Lyon in 1923. he was the
usual second son of royalty. "Ber-
tie," as the family calls him, vas
fond of his books.
ASK Bartie,' was a popular re-
mark around the royal house. He
most reSembled his mother. At that
time, he had her strict outlook on
life and lack of humor that some
interpreted as being high hat"
Then he married pretty little Lady
Elizabeth-"The Dainty Duchess" !"
English papers called her at the
time. England took this daughter
of Scottish peer to it's heart. The
birth of two daughters added to her
popularity and her husband basked
in reflected glory.
Christened with the usual long
list of royal names-Albert Fred
erick Arthur George-the Duke was
born Dec. Ia, 1895, at York Cottage,
Sandringham. He and Edward VIII
differing only year in age, were
reared together. At Eton, they were
captains of rival cricket teams.
Intended for a naval career, he
was sent as were his father and
elder brother. to Osborne Naval
Academy. In 1912, he went to sea
for six months. He served as a mid
shipman in the first battle squadron
during the first few months of the
World War He was attached to
the H M. S. Collingwood and was
aboard that warship when it took
part in the battle of Jutland in 1916
A severe attack of influenza
forced him to leave the sea and re-
tire from active duty in 1918. The
Duke then joined the Royal Air
Force and became an ardent air en-
thusiast. After passing his exami-
nations as pilot, he was sent to
France in October, 1918. His skill
in aviation and enthusiasm for the

air branch was recognized last year
with his appointment as air service
marshal.
A year after the armistice, the
Duke went to Cambridge University
where he studied economics and
civics. He put this into actual prac-
tice by many visits to factories and
mills. His interest gained him the
popular title of the industrial
prince"
George created him Duke of York
in 1920. Lady Elizabeth is the
Youngest daughter of the Earl of

was Princess Elizabeth, born April
81, 1926. Soon after her birth, the
Duke and Duchess made an official
six months tour of Australia.
On their return. they settled down
in their big town house near Hyde
Park. Their second daughter,
Princess Margaret Rose, was born

Thousands Await News
Everywhere, in public and private,
mourning for the late King and rec
ognition that the monarchy went on
undisturbad under a new King,
seemed predominant.
The first official sign of the late
Kings death was at 1920 a. m,
when the white ensign on the flag
staff at Admiralty Arch, at the other
end of the mall from Buckingham
Palace, was lowered to half staff.
Twenty minutes later a function
sry posted the notice of his death Gil
the framed, glass covered, notice
board on the high iron gate of Buck
ingham Palace. There were thou
sands there awaiting the news.
Immediately afterward the old
cannon in st. James Park, adjoin-
ing the Palace, and at the Tower of
London in the city, were fired to an
nounca the late Kings death and
the accession of the new King.
Cathedral Bell TolIed
Next the notice of the Kings
death was posted outside the Lord
Mayors mansion house in the
ancient city. A handful of people
scurried across the street to read it,
and the men took off their hats.
The dean of st. IPauls Cathedral,
in accordance with tradition. was
formally notified and he ordered
that Big Tom" the great cathedral
bell, be tolled at a. m. and 10 a. m.
AS the bell tolled, the fighting
services flashed out orders all over
the world that King George was
dead.
The War Office gave orders for a
70-gun salute, the shots to be given
at intervals Of one minute, in
mourning for the late King-one for
each year Of his life.

saluting station over the empire
at Hyde Park, the Tower of London,
Aldershot, Catterick, Dover, Alden,
Ceylon, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, ia
maica, Malta, Mauritius in the In

People who went to work today
wore black ties to symbolic mourn
ing.
They did not wait for the young
sixteenth Duke of Norfolk, head of
the proudest noble line in England
and hereditary earl marshal, to
issue his formal proclamation today:
"All people are expected to put
themselves in decent mourning"

Mourning Lasts Six Weeks
The full mourning will continue
six weeks for the public for six
months for the royal court, with an
other six months of half mourning.
Then the coronation, and subse-
quently the visit of the new King to
India, to be crowned at Durbar as
Emperor of India
Because of the known wish of the
late King that employees interests
be safeguarded, it was decided that
motion picture theaters should be
closed only today and on the day
of the funeral.
The Stock Exchange was closed
today except for the settling room,
where yesterdays transactions were

slowly down pathway.
In the morning, when families of
the royal household and employees
of the estate were invited to view
the body, the curtains were drawn
aside, permitting the brilliant early
sunshine to flood the room. The
mourners remained in the room only
few minutes and most of them
left in tears.
Princess Mary Prays
At a. m. Princess Mary, the late
Kings only daughter, accompanied
by members of the household,
walked across the gardens of the
estate to the church to private
communion service conducted by
the Archbishop of Canterbury
Prayers were offered for the re-
pose of the soul of the late King
and for the future guidance of the
i new one.
A sheet of canvas was drawn
across the gate to the churchyard,
to screen the grief-stricken mem
bers of the royal household from
curious passersby.
In Sandringham village, the royal
standard on the f1agmast of the
church was the only flag at full
staff in the empire.
New Kings Flag Raised
| There is no flag staff on Sand
ringham House, hence the royal
standard was carried on the church
mast.
Soon after the late Kings death,
his own standard was lowered, and

reign of Edward VIII until new

Lord Dawson of Penn, the late

The bulletin told the story in epit-

Gloucester, the third son. He was
suffering from sore throat in
London and could not risk the dan

But the others were at the bedside,
in scene that could occur only in
England.
The King began to die late yes
terday. He had been fully conscious
only at intervals since Sunday. He
was in no pain But his breath be-
came more and more labored as he
coughed in spasms caused by bron-
chial catarrh, and the heart became
steadily weaker.
The doctors decided about 9 p. m.
that the King was dying. They
announced:
THE Kings life is moving peace

1t was peaceful close, for the
King was asleep.

w. w. Anderson, my honored father

in the campaign and had made the

Montana Newspaper Men Took
Up Floral Emblem Campaign
to Make 1t Nations LiUe1iest

Montana's state emblem cam
naigm Of 1894 was made a unique
success by newspaper men. Mrs.
Matt w. Anderson, chairman, In a
report to the state press conven-
.ei0n Of 1880, told the story as fol-
lows:
Newspaper men of today are inter
.ested in the notable things the Mon.
-tana press has done in the historic
past. Yet few of them realize the i'm
p0rtant part the newspapers had in
the state floral emblem campaign Of
1894.
1T was a unique campaign directed
by me, but carried IN largely by the
newspapers: and it deserved even more
In song and story than it ever re-
.ceived; and for years after it closed,
inquiries came from other states ask
ing how we ever did It, Yet no other
state could get the vision to try our
beautiful way.
1.-The floral emblem movement was
started at the Worlds fair in Chicago
in 1893 by women who rebelled at the
.unfairneSs of a registration opened at
the WOman'S building for corn, as a
national floral emblem. The National
Floral Emblem society was organized by
these women to give every one a right
TO vote for his or her candidate. It's
plan was to organize the various states
and territories, have each select state
floral emblem. There was a member
ship fee Of so cents and only members
z could vote.
81 was given the Craftsmanship for
Montana and Was fortunate enough to
secure the cooperation Of botanistS
and flower-loverS throughout the state.
Then Mr.. Anderson and perceived
that there was no business sense in the |
way the national society was conduct
ing its affairs, so we determined to run
Montana'S organization in our own
wRy.
I'VE decided to have no membership
Zee, no voting fee, no assessments for
the state. We opened the campaign by
circular letter to the newspapers Of
Montana, outlining the scope and plan
Of the work and asking their assistance.
Royalty they responded with an I'M
paralleled generosity, and not only Of
fered their columns freely to all who
wished to present floral candidates and
discuss their qualifications, but be-
came so interested themselves that they
wrote news and editorials relating to
the state floral emblem by the column.
ct was this feature that distinguished
Montana's campaign-that made 1t the
marvel of the nation-thiS generous,
patriotic spirit of our newspaper men
Of a generation ago.
