An official British military photograph widely
circulated in the press shows King George VI in the
act of comforting knighthood upon General Oliver
Leese, commander of his Eighth Army in Italy. The
picture represents the two men in summer campaign
uniforms the officer kneelng before his sovereign to
receive the accolade 1t the simpler mode of per-
forming the ceremony that thus is exhibited Accord
ing to this ritual explains the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA "a number of knights were made before and
after almost every battle between the eleventh and
the sixteenth centuries. Segar garter king of arms
in Queen Elzabeths reign describes the rite in the
words:
He that is to be made knight is stricken
by the prince with sword drawn upon his
back or shoulder, the prince saying "Soys
Chevalier," and in times past added,
Saint George" And when the knight rises
the prince sayeth, "Avencez"
The soemnities which were invoked when the
complete procedure was observed very diff
ferent." John Selden, the acknowledged master OF
the Antiquarian Society, declares that in the elder
time there were circumstances OF two kinds
especially, which may call 'courtly and sacred .
The former were characterized by feasts the giving
of robes arms spurs and the like the latter by holy
devotions land what else used in the church at
or before the receiving of the dignity.
Strangely enough as it may SEEM the granting
of knighthood exclusive privilege of royalty
King George the tabeau with Sir Oliver is acting
as 'the chief of the army" rather than as head OF
the state But the code of chivary sets forth that
practically any valiant knight may bestow the
accolade A case in point is that of King Francis
of France aged only twenty-one, honored on the
bloody field of Marignano in italy September H. 1915
by the hand of Pierre Terrai Segneur de Bayard le
bon chevalier pour ct reproche, then forty
two years old and the deservedly famous soldier
in Europe

JUSTICE BLACKS FACE

Home spun Barney Whatley
Democratic candidate for Senator
from Colorado, dropped in on some
of his cid Washington friends the
other day-among others, his for

Black of the U. S. Supreme Court
Whatley moved to Colorado after
practicing law in Alabama. Before
a large crowd of friends in Wash

old law partner, the Supreme Court
Justice:
MY first client, when I started
practicing law, was colored wo-
man. And since Hugo Black had
got out of law school a little ahead
of me, he seemed to think he
should have her as his client. But
after few weeks, the colored lady
came to me and said that she
wanted me to handle her case.

York's 29h Congressional District
Roosevelt sought to defeat Fish in 1888 and didn't
get very far. Both Wendell Willke and Republican
Presidential nominee Thomas E. Dewey sought TINS

Dewey came out openly to attack Fish, Wikie offered
to defend playwright who had attacked Fish and
who was to be sued by Fish for libel.
The experts attribute Fishs victory mainly to one
factor:
