MR. ASQUITH AND THE KING. A BREACH OF CUSTOM.
(Received April 18, 8.7 a.m.) LONDON, April 9. King Edward will return to London from Biarritz next Thursday — earlier than was expected. , ' The. Times comments of the fact thai i the ceremony of tho New Premier, Mr Asquith, kissing the hands of the King was performed at Biarritz (France) j instead of in Britain. The paper says : "This is a wide departure from a hitherto unbroken'precedent. Perhaps it is a picturesque and graceful tribute to the reality of .the" entente that King Edward and Mr 'Asquith were so much, at home in France, but everyone with a sound knowledge^ of our political system must hope that the precedent will not be repeated except in case of necessity."
