TROUBLES IN POST
WAR YEARS

The postwar relgr of George V
was marked by a weller of troubles.
Immediately pressing was the Irish
problem which had moved from a
crisis during the war, eliminating in
a new government of Ireland bill in
1920.
Ireland And India Problems
The king and queen journeyed to
Belfast to open the new Ulster parlia-
ment on June %, 1921, an occasion on
which the monarch sought to apply
the crowns influence in healing the
scores of controversy.
II appeal to all Irishmen,' he said

was signed creating the Irish Free
State.

THE WORLD WAR
YEARS

In the fevercd days that followed
the assassination of the Austrian
Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his
consort in Sarajevo. King George
made every effort to avert war.
On August l. 1911. he dispatched a
letter to the president of France i'll
which ne said in part: Il am, per-
sonally, using my best endeaVors with
the emperorS of Russia and of Ger
many towards finding some solution"
Helps England'S Will To Win
Within three days the breach was
beyond healing and the king imme-
diately let it be known that no effort
would be spared to carry England's
cause to victory.
The king and queen led the royal
family in patriotic work. There was
q succession of messages initiating or
supporting movements at home;
cheering words went to the front.
Meanwhile, the royal household set
a pattern of rigid economy 1t was
placed on war rations' and the king
announced in 1915 that he had sus-
pended the use Of alcoholic beverages
for himself. his family and the house
hold.
He ordered the names of German
and Austrian rulers stricken from the
Order of the Garter and two years
later changed the name of the Brit
lsh royal family from the house of
iSaxe-Coburg-Gotha to that of Wind
sor and re!inquished all his German
titles.
There were frequent inspection of
industrial works, repeated visits to
his troops in Belgium and France,
tours of hospitals and institutions do
ing war work, and trips to the Grand
Fleet 1t was estimated that King
George attended more than 1900
ceremonies during the conflict.
Hurt On Visit To Front
An accident occurred during visit
TO the front in 1915 when the horse
he was riding became startled by the
sudden cheering of soldiers, reared,
and fell back upon the king. His in
iuries were not serious, however,
though he returned to England I'M
der medical supervision and was con-
fined TO his bed for some time. While
still on n stretcher in France, he per
sonally conferred two Victoria
Crosses.
On April 20, 1917, he attended a
cathedral ceremony in London cele-
brating the entrance of the United
States into the war and a year later
he became the first British sovereign
to participate in the celebration of
Americas Independence Day.

When the armistice was signed No
vembcr II, 1918, King George spoke
to great crowds from the porticO of
Buckingham Palace and received
great ovations then. on the way to a
special thanksgiving service the next
day in ST. Paul's, and on succeeding
days drives through London.
Calls Americans Brothers in Peace
To President Woodrow Wilson he
had sent a message which concluded:
Mr. President, it is on this day one
of our happiest thoughts that the
American and British people, brothers
in-arms. will continue forever broth

for independence anG freedom and in
December, 1919, King George issued
a royal proclamation putting into eff
feet new measure which gave it a
larger share in government.
In 1890 a further step was inau-
gurated with the assembling of the
first india round table conference
and the king, who opened it, gave
voice to remarkable changes taking
place within his reign.
Sees Changes; Asks Loyalty
Ten years is but brief span in
the life of any nation" he said in
part, "but this decade has witnessed
not only in India but throughout all
the nations forming the British COM
monwealth a quickening and growth
in IDEAS and aspirations of nation
hood which defy customary measure
ment of time
Two other conferences were to fol-
low and in 1888 a bill giving form to
the intended reforms were being
drafted.
Home troubles eliminated in 1926
in the general strike and when the
difficulties were finally surmountcd,
King George paid tribute in an APP
peal addressed ITO My People" on
May II, 1926, saying:
Let us forget whatever elements of
bitterness the events of the past few
days have created and only remember
how steady and orderly the country
remained, though severely tested. Let
us forthwith address ourselves to the
task of bringing into being a peace
getting the past, it looks only to the
future with the hopefulness of an
united people"
World Watches His Sick Bed
Two ana one-half years later the
eyes of tie world were turned to
Buckingham Palace where King
George lay seriously i'll. In December,
1928, counsellors of state were APP
pointed; the Prince of Wales made
a record journey from Africa; and an
operation was performed.
He recovered slowly but by May,
1929 plans were well advanced for a
Thanksgiving service June Is in West
minister Abbey Then, on May 3d. he
was confined to his bed again. An
abscess had formed under the side of
the old scar.
He progressed rapidly, however,
and the postponed Thanksgiving was
held July T. simultaneously similar
services were held throughout the
country and the empire.
His people saw him emaciated and
with whittened hair, feeble in body,
but with the simple cheer Of his quiet
smile still in evidence.
The next day came the sudden an
nouncement that a further X-ray ex-
animation had been decided upon. A

HIS PRIVATE LIFE AND
QUIET HUMOR

AS an individual. King George V
was characterized by a quiet dignity
which in contrast to the fleeing spur
to popular imagination that ostenta-.
tiOus mOnarchs created, lodged him
more firmly, if moro slowly, in Rri-
tish hearts.
He pursued q conservative, even
tenor i'm his home and official life.
and the feeling which his subjects
held for him became one Of constant
ly growing depth.
Simplicity In Family Circle
Unlike his father, who had a flair
for wdie friendships. King George
had a gift for making friends slowly
burt for keeping them a long time.
Nothing was more typical Of this than
the deep friendships ne kept through
his reign with those very few real
comrades he made in his naval career.
His own home life set an example.
of simplicity and moderation that
caught the hearts OF his SIR lccts He
was n family man and nothing was
more characteristic than the cheer

ham and the modest family parties in
celebration of birthdays and other an
niversarics.
Many human little stories sprang
up about him. One of the favOrites
has to do with his inspection of White
City. a London stadium, on a wet day.

told that some one venturdc to re-

thought, an undue proportion of in
vitations to royal functions went to

His significant reply with ended
further criticism, was:

throne I cannot recognize it too
fully"
Religion was marked by the same
simplicity which he brought to other
phases of his life. He read the Bible
daily, keeping a promise that he made
early in his youth TO his mother,
Queen Alexandra.
His preference for the conscrva-
tive extended to art, literature, and
entertainment. Once he poked good

ROYAL SPORTSMAN
AND COLLECTOR

In King George V, the sporting
world had one Of its most enthusiasts
tic principals.
Not only was he an interested
spectator of events ranging from
American baseball to championship
cricket but he took keen and whole
hearted part himself in many pas
tir1eS
Two branches of sports drew his
fullest satisfaction = yashinE and
shooting, tofh heritagcs from his
early life. He raced horses and was
skilled as a golfer
AS Il king who had been sailor
salt air and he invariably was aboard
his yacht britannia" for racing I'M
til the-slater years of his reign.
Royal Yacht Disqualified
He neither expected nor received
any advantage because Of his royal
position. Once in the Bristol Channel
Royal Regatta, the owner of the
yacht westward" protested against
the Britannia claiming that the
kings boat did not give the "West-
ward" a free course around one of
the buoys. The committee disqualified
the kings entry.
The yacht up until 1888 had taken
part in more races and won more
prizes-aggregating 346-than any
other craft The king, when he was
aboard, was not content with nero
passive part. There were many in
stances when he pulled Justify on a.
rope and he always was able to give
needed answer if the captain was in
81 tight spot.
AS one of the best shots in the
country as a youth, King George drew
great enjoyment in after years from
hunting expeditions and no trip was
complete without a break in the Of
ficial routine for this sport.
Merely Tolerant of Racing
AS duke on his colonial tour
duck-shooting in Manitoba, was a
hieh-light, while as king-emperor on
his India trip he slipped away several
times for hunting recreation. His all
weather shoots at Sandrineham be-
came famous.
!, AS. a shot he tok his chances with
the rest and nothing was calculated
TO draw the royal displeaSure more
than any suggestion or intimatlon
that game be specially rounded up
for him.
The king was a golfer Of more than
moderate ability and as follower OF
horse racing he maintained a large
stable and was regular spectator at
the major track fixtures.
Compared with his father, however,
King George had a tolerant rather
than an all-consuming interest in
horse racing.
When the hard times his country
experienced in the later days of his
reign prompted him to give leadership
in economy, his stable was one of the
first "luxuries" to be marked by re-
trenchments.
He was a good horseman hlmself
and he was frequently seen riding on
Rotten Row in Hyde Park early of
morning when the court was at BUCK
ingham Palace.
Leads World Stamp Collectors
One of his chief indoor hobbies for
which he became noted was stamp
collecting. From his early sailor days
on the "Bacchante" he was keenly IN
ternsted in philatcly and experts
deemed his collection the finest IN
existence He had a special time ser
aside each week in which to inspect
it.
In 1924 the king was a delighted
spectator at a baseball game between
the New York Giants and the Chicago
White Sox who were travelling in
Europe. A foul ball sped directly for

which are needed in the treatment

Blackford Wins
Case Against City

In a decision handed down last Sat-
urday. the Montana supreme court up
held the action of the Lincoln county
district court in the recovery action
brought bv James M Blackboard against
the CITY of Libby. The supreme court
held that city may be held liable for
the acts of its servants.
Blackboard brought action against the
city to recover on $500 warrant issued
by an Improvement district, the district
having defaulted on this payment. In
the hearing Of the case in district court
testimony was brought out to show
that the acting city treasurer had paid
one of the districts warrants twice by
mistake. Blackford claimed that be-
cause Of this error by the city, there
was not sufficient money to pay his
warrant when 1t became due. The city
argued that the city treasurer was act
ing merely as the agent for the inns
provement district and that the city wa
not liable.
Blackboard won the case in the distric
court whereupon the city appealed t.
the supreme court. The supreme cour
now decides in favor Of Blackford.

Come Long Way
To Vote at Election

Now and then certain portions of the
American public are vigorously crit
cized for not taking enough Interest
to go to the polls on election day anc
help elect good officials to govern the
nation
This criticism cannot be lodged
against Mr.. and Mrs. Frank McNees. On
the contrary they are entitled to COM
mendation for the effort they made in
order that they might vote at the re-
cent election.
Mr.. and Mrs. MeNees are now re-
siding in Spokane but still maintain
their legal residerce in the Mccormick
precinct in western Lincoln county. De-
termined that they would not lose their
votes, they drove in from Spokane
merely for the purpose of voting. They
had failed to secure absent voters bal
lots and thus they could vote only by
making the trip.
Another Leonia citizen to come in
from Snokane to cast his vote was
Floyd Coates, who also is entitled to
commentator for the efforts expended
to perform his duty as an American
citizen.
