King Georgo V., of England, had been proclaimed, London, May 7. When King George took tho op.th of fealty this afternoon at 4 o'clock, tho system of monarchal government In Great Britain wont pn trial for Its life. Statesmen see In tho national gloom tho outlines of a historic crisis. Intermingled with tho gen oral sorrow Is a noto of alarm that cannot be allowed to go unheard. The publicists admit that if King George la not strong enough to set tle the political crisis promptly, the passing of tho monarchy Is within tho range of possibility. King George 'faces grave questions at homo and abroad and ho assumes his duties without having either tho love, respect or support that his late father and his grandmother, Queen Victoria had to aid them in political crises. Tle views of, King Georgo aro known onjyjn.partjbut tho cabinet openly la not lh1 sympathy with the few that aro known. King Georgo Is confronted by the problem of tho fight against tha su premacy of tho lords which has ad vanced to such a atago tha,t the sta bility of the house of lords Itself Is threatened. The' now king niuBt facp grave continental questions which aro the outgrowth of tho antl-Brllish feeling existing nnd manifest In Germany. Ono of King Goorgo'B best known characteristics. Is his anti-German Bontimont. England and Gormany have en gaged In a race for the future con trol of tho seas and leadership among tho nations of tho old world. Edward VII., twhIlo supporting tho gonoral idea of competition with Gormany, has succeeded In holding back anti-Gorman sentiment and ob taining In Gormany a similar condi tion tending to hold in check ani mosity between tho two countries. King Georgo lo strongly in favor of a larger navy. Ho has advocated It at all times and It is believed that ho will not abandon the hobby oven though it should arouse the Ira of tho Germans. This will bo an Important tiling at a tlmo whon the financial affairs of tho nation are so unsettled as to maka hard times more than a dis tant spector. A fow optimists, on tho other hand, speak encouragingly on the, chances tho now king has to show his ability at tho outset of bis ca reor. Thoy point out that fears of the pcoplo may bo exaggerated because the heir apparent, now king, bod been compelled to lead a colorless oxistonco so as not to nttract atten tion from tho rolgnlng monarch. In splto of tho aocoptcd belief that tho king Is without real power In thp actual affairs of govornmont, ho posBosBos a tremendous influence.
