The service was conducted by the Archbishop ot Canterbury who only a few hours before had given a last blessing to the dying king. Unlike the remainder ot the countryside, where flags whipped at half-staff In a strong wind, the royal standard on the little church flew from the top of its pole. A symbol of the last half of the slogan, "The king is dead! Long live the king!" the standard al ways flies at full staff, signifying that the British empire is never without a ruler. The late King George, four days after he contracted a sudden illness, succumbed at 11:55 o'clock (6:55 p m E.S.T.) last night to complica tions arising from a severe cold, bronchial catarrh and a heart weak nessa burden too heavy for the frail form to bear. Steeling themselves for a double ordeal of burying the dead king and proclaiming the new sovereign Queen Mary and her children wept and prayed over King George s bier as the empire of 450,000,000 suo Jects waited to do him homage. Respecting their privacy, the sad dened subjects and neighbors of the bereaved family left them to tWeir sorrow. From high and low, from all parts of the earth, came messages of con dolence. Broadcasts were discontin ued, and London crowds were hushed. The court decided to transfer his majesty's body to St. Mary of Mag dalene's church here late in the day to rest temporarily before the altar, as did the bodies of his mother, Queen Alexandra, his brother, the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, and his youngest son, John. The church, only 600 yards from Sandrlngham house, is connected with the royal residence by the foot path over which the late King George and his queen walked on their way to and from worship.

EL and Queen Mary Is burled in the church, from which the royal stand ard whipped in a cold January wind. The estate stirred anew with ac tivity, after the hush of the king's dying hours, as the servants pre pared for the last departure of tneu master. Queen Mary, whose sturdy self control .had kept her calm during her husbands brief illness, oroxe down only at the last, she wept us the strength of the man whose partner she had been for 43 years ebbed slowly and his heart action ceased. Within the sick room, now be come a death chamber, the queen turned from her husband to her eldest son for support. The Prince of Wales, who auto matically became king at the mo ment of his father's death, com forted his mother In that hour of greatest grief, just as he had through the ominous hours Immedi ately preceding death. The royal family, conversing in broken, hushed tones, slowly walked from the room. Its lights then wert extinguished. Queen Mary, newly become tne queen mother,- retired weeping to her own bedroom nearby, where her only daughter, the Princess Royal, and the Duchess of Kent attempted to console her. Later the queen telephoned new3 of the death to the Duke and Duch ess of Gloucester at Buckingham Palace, the Duchess of York at Windsor, Queen Maud of Nor way King George's sister at Oslo, and the Duke of Connaught uncle of the king.
