LONDON, Dec. IL. fUP1..-
One-fourth of the people in the
world prepared today to acknowl.
edge as their sovereign Albert,
Duke of York, and to swear al
legiance to him as the 69th
king of England and the emperor
of India.
Edward VIII abdicated yester-
day, and today he signed away
forever, all rights, and rights OF
his descendants, to England's
throne. He did this-frst time in
British history q king voluntarily
has given up the sceptre-because
he wants to marry an American,
born woman, Mrs. Wallis Warfield
Simpson, who has been twice di.
vorced and who has two living ex.
husbands.
Yesterday Edward Albert Chris,
tian George Andrew Patrick David
Windsor--alone in his country es-
tate at Fort Belvedere-still was
king-emperor. He will cease to be
the moment he signs an act OF ab;
dication, which parliament passed
today. In the moment that Ed.
ward lifts his pen from that
document he becomes "Mr. David
Windsor" and the Duke OF York
will become king. He was undo,
cided yesterday whether he would
call himself Albert I or George
vi, but today he had taken the
latter name. -, -.
Where Edwards path will lie
then is uncertain, but there. were
reports here and in Copenhagen
that he had decided to buy q cas-,
tie in Denmark. He was influenced
in that decision, it was said, pc
