MRS. SIMPSON'S SENTIMENTS.
SUBORDINATE HERSELF FOR KING'S GOOD. (Received 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, December 8. The most interesting news of the British crisis appearing in" America to-day is an account of a transatlantic telephonic interview which the "Rocky Mountain News," of Denver, Colorado, had with Mrs. Simpson, with Lord Brownlow as intermediary. Mrs. ■ Simpson, according to the report, expressed readiness to marry the King even if she cannot reign v as Queen, but said she was ready to renounce her love for the King if that would save the Throne. Her love for him,, she said, was so great that would subordinate every personal desire and affection for his good and the good of his people. The Philadelphia "Inquirer" quoted Mr. Hugh Walpole, the novelist, as being very censorious of the King. In an interview with the Press he expressed the opinion that it might be a good thing for England if King EdwaVd abdicated. The newspaper, yesterday printed a leading article composed of Shakespearean quotations, carried another instalment to-day.
