found ministry SubServient to his ideas of crushing them. From ITO to 1782 he virtually directed affairs. He heartily favored the. long wars with France which finally broke Napoleon's power, and he stubborn ly opposed emancipation of the Ro- man Catholics among his subjects.
 The closing years of his life were as black as those of some protagon- ist in a stark Greek tragedy. In 1765 he was mentally deranged for some time, but recovered. In 1788 this recurred and the first bill was passed making his eldest son, the Prince of Wales, the regent. Again he recovered.
 But in 1909 he became blind and in 1911, after the death of his fa- vorite daughter, Princess Amelia, he became hopelessly insane and also deaf. He was a King in total dark ness and isolation, King often in straitjacket. He died January 29, 1920.
 GEORGE W REVERTED TO
 TYPE OF EARLIER GEORGES
 He was succeeded by the son who had been regent so long and who now mounted the throne as George W. This king was born at St. James Palace, Lon0on, August 12, l762, and five days later was made Prince of Wales by his adoring father. Among his earliest toys were 8 set of Indian bows and ar rows sent him from New York by the still loyal subjects of the crown.
 He grew up a handsome lad, with quick brains for languages and all kinds of learning. He played the cello, sang pleasingly, rode well.
 But as the years went on, the good-l looking lad became the red faced, bloated man of the world who cared more for the set of a wig and the fit of coat than for anything serious. He was as disso- lute as the rich patricians Of his time, instead of moral, like his father and mother. In the days when he was Regent for his mad father, he made the regency days" famous, or infamous, according to the viewpoint. He made of the sea- side place of Brighton a resort of fashion. He became one of the most extravagant princes in Eng lands history.
 He was cold and heartless and

father died when he was 13 and the boy thus became heir to the throne of his grandfather. He learned French and German, but his English was bad and all his life he could not spell correctly. He grew up in a world in which the British peerage had all the fun and all the power and was absolute, im- pious and immoral as it was power full. George mounted the throne a moral and pious man and such he remained all his life-a creature of simple tastes, who loved his wife, his children, his fireside. He liked to play at farming and so became known as Farmer George.
 FELL IN LOVE
 THROUGH CORRESPONDENTS
 He fell in love with a letter writ ten to him by Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg -Strelitz and in 1761 married her, his proposal letter in- viting her to be Queen of Great Britain, France and Treland". This was probably the last time an Eng fish King chung to the illusion that he still ruled over part of France.
 Their match was happy one. They reared their IS children. They danced long hours in simple family parties. George sat and listened while his Charlotte played on the spinet. He adored long sermons and church music, His mother long ago had pronounced him a dull but god boy and in his private life he remained exactly that.
 
 REGA1NED FOR GROWN
 DORMANT PREROGATIVES
 In his public life he was not quite so happy. He could not understand great men. He disliked statesmen like Fox and Chatham and Burke, and warriors like Nelson who shed lustre on his era. He had exalted ideas of the prerogatives of the crown and steadily and stubbornly resumed powers which had been taken by the cabinet. He seized much of the patronage and. par ty of Kings friends" grew up. He used corruption both in elections and in Parliament to gain his ends and he did break the long oligarchy of the Whig party.

BY MILTON BRONNER

NEA Service Stan correspondent
 London, May 7-The reign of King George III of England was of patriarchal length, 60 years. It was made tragic by suffering, blindness, total deafness, madness. It was embittered and acquired vast historic importance by the loss of the American colonies.
 But it accomplished the downfall of Napoleon, thus eliminating the greatest menace to the life of Brit ain since the Norman conquest.
 It saw the expansion and aggran- disement of the nations powers and wealth, the beginning of the na- tion's greater destiny.
 It cemented the kingship of the House of Hanover and made this house truly British for the first time.
 And it showed the people of the realm that king could be decent, simple, loving, deeply reli- gious mana tradition which the fifth and sixth Georges were to con- tinue.
 George III was the first Hano- verian king to be born in England. He was the first to live 8 godly, se- rene, family life.
