INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Momentarily overshadowing many
other events came few days ago the
announcement that George the Fifth.
king of Great Britain, haC. been taken
very critically ill, and that his death
might take place at almost any mo-
ment; taken into consideration were
the facts of his sisters death a few
weeks ago, and of his own not very
robust constitution; also it was known
that the king had been greatly wor-
ried about the complications of in
ternational affairs, and troubled by
the prospect of new European war,
so that, taken all in all, the resist
ance of the seventy-year old man may
have been seriously weakened.
Then Monday evening bulletins
from London announced the death of
the king, now succeeded on the throne
by his oldest son, who since 1910 has
been Prince of Wales. George the
Fifth was son of King Edward the
Seventh and Queen Alexandra for
merly princess of Denmark), and hae
been king of Great Britain and en-
perOr of India since the death of his
father nearly twenty-six years ago.
He was deeply beloved by his coun-
trymen and subjects.
But, of course, in times like these
the matter of the life or death of a
king of Great Britain is of no great
international importance-w holly
aside from the mans own charming
and able personality; under the sys-
tenn prevailing in his country the
king has very little power. and the
influence which he may exert upon
foreign affairs is either indirect or
very Insignificant. His role is that
of symbol of the power and the uni
ty of the mighty British empire; he
is the glittering official representa-
tive-at-large of his nation, and when
he, as did King George, with ability
to occupy this post combines tact.

They Must Have Laid
Down a Smoke Screen.

1t just doesn't seem possible
that a man and woman could
have been married 13 years with
out their neighbors having at least
one glimpse of a good old-fash-
toned welded argument but
this is what has taken place in
Norwood. Thirteen years ago, so
the story goes, Ellen Carlson and
Arthur Franzen slipped away from
their home in Red Oak. Iowa. and
were married in Missouri. During
the intervening years they kept
their marriage secret, even
from their parents with whom
each continued to live.
But early last week, word of
their marriage went the rounds
to friends who greeted the news
with an old-fashioned chaIivari.
Franzen said, 81 guess it just isn't
possible to keep a secret when
there is a woman involved"
