The beloved old sovereign died, as he had always wished. In the quiet and peace of his Norfolk county estate Just before midnight last night, with the family he lov ed at his side. With the vast empire and vir tually the entire word sharing their sorrow, the Princess Royal, only daughter of King George and Queen Mary, and other members of the royal household went to Saint Alary of Magdalene's church this morning for a holy communion service. The service was conducted by the Archbishop of Cnnterbury who only a few hours before had given H lust lilcffelntr to the dying' ttlnftv.

(AP) Universal expressions of regret that a "good king" had passed away were heard In the capital to day as the nation's leaders sent condolences to . the family of George V. President itnonevelt sent a cable gram to ilie new king, Edward, as well as to Queen Mary, and to the governors general of the British dominions. Secretary Hull sent messages to the prime ministers of Britain and the dominions. To Edward, who twice visited the White House as Prince of Wales, the president messaged: "It is with deep sorrow that I learn of the death of bis majesty, your father. I send to you my pro found sympathy and that of the people of the United States, in whose respect and affection he oc cupied a high and unique place. I had the privilege of knowing his majesty during the war days and his passing brings to me person ally a special sorrow." To the widowed queen, the chief executive cabled: "Mrs. Roosevelt and I extend to i your majesty and to the members of your family our heartfelt sym pathy and join you in mourning the loss of one whose high quali ties of kindness and wisdom have been so powerful an Influence for universal peace and Justice."

Foreign Office) Again for Britain have come echoing down from the ages the fateful 'words "the king is dead; long live the king I" and upon the comparatively youthful shoulders of her favorite son has fallen in these troubled times the crushing burden of sov ereignty over the greatest empire the world has known. For Edward, prince 01 wales, these words, which have ushered In and out an endless line of lOng- llsh rulers, spelled double tragedy. They robbed him of a beloved father, who had been his compan ion and guide since the days of bed-time stories; they thrust him upon a throne which he would much prefer not to occupy.
