George Becomes King
AS KING UP TO THE
WORLD WAR

Whcn the sailor prince assembled the
throne he became George V, by the
Grace Of God of Great Britain, Ire
land and the British dominions be
yohd the seas, King; Defender of the
Faith. Emperor Of India.
The immediate heritage from ri;
fathers reign was Il constitutional
crisis, prccipitated by the rejection
of Lloyd Georges 1909 budget by the
house OF lords. II had simnercd fiji

With. that ceremony over. Herbert

the king Il definite assent to use the
royal prcrOSativc for creating enough
peers to insure passage of Il. parla-
mcnt bin shearing from the lords their
power on money bills and, under GER
!ain conditions other public leeiala-
ton.
Assumes Sovereignty at Home, Abroad
Threat of the royal pTerOgative
proved sufficient for enactment of
the bill and the political Significance
OF the incident on the constitutional
position of he crown as a force above
domestic party strife was marked.
The great coronation ceremony, held
June %, 1911, in Westminster Abbey
contained a notable departure from
precedent. George V took an amend
ed oath, clipping from the centuries
old words the statement that offered
Roman Catholic subjects: "The invO-
| cation or alteration of the Virgin
Mary and the sacrifice of the mass
as they are now used in the churches
of Rome are approximations and lido
| latrous.
The public assumption Of royal att
thority throughout the United King
dom was completed by state visits to
Ireland, Wales and Scotland and late
in 1911 the king and queen marked
their imperial sovereignty by visit
to India.
They sailed November IL, 1911
from Portsmouth; their ship.cast an
Choir December 2 off Bombay; and
ten days later a spectacular corona
ton durbar was held outside Delhi
amidst thousands of natives and
troops.
Then from his throne the ling-cm-

deadlock continued well into 1914
when the king again brought into re-

This came strongest in the deep

including one to India.
When he succeeded to the throne
May 6. 1910, at the age OF IA, the en-
pire had a sovereign unique for his
first-hand acquaintance with the

Stresses Imperial Sovereignty
If England knew less about the new
king than perhaps any before, and at
first drew vivid contrasts between his
genial reserve and serious aspect and
his fathers winning personality and
say removal of the isolation of the
throne which had grown up in Queen
Victorias reign. George V neverthc-

self as capable of independent
thought.

CHILDHOOD AND
, YOUTH

Thpprince who was to become King
George Nv had no "petticoat" educa-
ton His father, then Prince of Wales
saw tothat. A.e
George was only four when he was
placed with his elder brother. Prince
Albert, under the tutorship of John
Neale Dalton, then curate of Sand
bingham and a brilliant Cambridge
scholar.
Sport and study were intermingled
in their early training but, that over,
their father had further plans. Win
ming Queen Victoria to his way of
! thinking, he had them entered in 1877
as naval cadets on the Britannia at
Spithead.
welcomes Life At Sea
| The zest with which George enter
cd into the training is typifled by his
words to the instructors:
\ Don't bother with my brother; he's
going to be king. Teach me; I'm go
ing to be a sailor.
Two years later they joined the
"Racchante" and made Il cruise to the
West Indies, in which the princes
were rated midshpmen. George made
many friends Full of fun. he gained
one nickname as THE Right Royal
Tickle" and rs a mdshipman he be-
came known as "Sprats.
He sought no favOrs and if his work
was not distinguished by brilliance
it at least was typified by winning
ways and a work-with-a-will spirit
whether the duty at hand was sail
drill or the dirty job of coaling.
In 1880 the princes started on a sec
ond cruise which took t1fenrfto South
America and the ship was atst he Falk-
land Islands when orders were receiv-
ed to proceed to South Africa under
service conditions. Beers of the Trans
vaal had rcbclled, demanding an auto
nomous government but the treaty OF
Majuba quickly ended the trouble and
the ship continued ON to Australia
Japan, China, Ceylon, and home by
way of the SueZ canal.
The brothers parted and George was

resemblance to Nicholas II, the last

Subsequently service was spent or
various ships. His first independent
command in 1889 was Torpedo Boa
No. 70 on which the sailor-prince
showed his stripes by towing into
mort a sistership which had broker
down and anchored not far from
rocks.
In 1890 he was put in command o.

The whole course of Georges life was
changed.
His naval career went overheard to
bob up only for a brief period in
1898 when he had command of the
cruiser Crescent so as to qualify for
advancement to rear admiral. In
1901 he achieved that rank and two
years later became a vice admiral.

During the 1884 drought, more

Rain Too Late for Wheat
While rains have brought relief
to some areas of the widespread
drought district, which has ex-
tended from the Rockies to the
Appalachians, and over the South
eastern States. it is too late for
rain to aid the spring wheat, pas
ture and forage in the Dakotas-

ing to reports to the Federal
agencies from observers in the
field.
The corn crop-and with it
other grain feeds and pasture
lands-of the Midwestern corn
belt still needs more rain. Saving
rains in that area might alleviate
the necessity for buying up
drought livestock to some extent,
as they could be shipped from the
Northwest to the Middle West for
feeding. However, unless good"
rains come to the corn belt with
in the next fortnight, the damage
may be as severe, possibly even
more so, than in the 1884 disaster.

WORLD IS SICK,
SAYSDR. B0AS

NEW YORK.-Prof. Franz Boas,
one of the worlds most eminent
anthropologiSts, has retired from
active service at Columbia Univer,
sity after Al years Of service as
lecturer and professor.
At IS years of age, after a life
spent in research and study of the
physical and cultural development
of man, DR.. Boas finds the world
sick" with Germany the sickest
of ALL" but he believes the pres
ent stage to be a tranSitory one
and that the world sooner or later
will resume its forward march.
Prof. Boas was outSpoken in
criticism of participation by Amer
lean universities, including Har-
ward and Columbia, in the cele-
bration of the 550th anniversary
of Heidelberg, at which he studied
SO years ago.
On leaving his alma mater, DR..
BoaS revealed, he had made a pact
with several of his felloW-Students
to return to "Old Heidelberg" at
it's 550th anniversary. But such a
return under present conditions is
absolutely unthinkable," he as
serted.
DR.. Boas said:
II will go on working. / will
stay at Columbia and carry on
my research, particularly on
race questions and studies Of the
the American Indian.
with the present condition
of the world / consider the race
question a most important one.
I will try to clean up some Of
the nonsense that is being spread
about race these days.
THE race question is so acute
at this time that you can't speak
about it too often. People con-
fuse individual heredity with
race heredity. Individual hered-
ity is a scientific reality, but to
speak of race heredity' is non
