sorrow, the princess royal, , only
daughter of King George and
Queen Mary, and other members of
the royal household went to Saint
Mary of Magdalene's church this
morning for a holy communion
service.
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.
The youngest son of King George

while 189 others will draw from $5
to $25 each month from the county

it will probably be continued. Little
lessening of the load is expected

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.
