KING PRAISES TROOPS AND ALL OTHER HELPERS

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received May 14, 9 a.m.) LONDON, May 13. In a message issued from Buckingham Palace at tbe conclusion of the Coronation ceremonies in London, the King said: — "The Queen and I wish to express our deep gratitude to all who contributed to the successful accomplishment of the Coronation both inside and outside Westminster Abbey. We know well that the planning, no less than the execution, of the essential arrangements entailed months of careful preparation and imposed an immense volume of work on branches of the public services. "I have nothing but praise for the fine bearing and discipline of the representatives of my naval, military, and air forces. It was a special satisfaction to me that they included so many splendid detachments from the overseas forces, whose presence here we all welcome." The message proceeds to commend the police, refers to the orderliness and good humour of the crowds, and pays tributes to ambulance and Red Cross workers and Boy Scouts. It concludes: — Finally, we would like to say how greatly we admired the decorations in the streets. We congratulate the responsible authorities and householders, and are touched by the thought that throughout the country so much care has been devoted by our people to decorating their homes in celebration of this day. For all the help so willingly given to ensure the success of the ceremonies the Queen and I tender our heartfelt thanks. — George R. 1."
