THE KING RIDES FORTH
"'I saw the King ride forth in London town ..." so cried many thousands of his people in London.town; men and women of the British Isles, soldiers from all the King's Dominions; and they meant it," says the Morning Post. "And, somewhere across tlie water another King, discrowned, half-crazed, the most guilty sinner in Europe, a fugitive hunted by his own people, was seeking a place of refuge at that hour. Before Buckingham Palace wa« massed a vast multitude, waving hats and cheering tho_ King of England, and some were weeping. It is the old title, the King of England, and fits beat. So when the King drove through the streets a ro»r of cheers went with _ him, the voice of the denso crowds on either hand the Royal carriage, gentle and simple, rich and poor, soldier and civilian, all acclaiming the King of England."
