The victorious conclusion of the sl-cet War sent a great wave of optimism and relief all over' Great Britain and the Empire. That the old Country had once‘8€al!1 prov- gi invincible in a European war, filled the nation with a. sober pride sud joy. and in the surging nation- al feeling, the Throne became a. symbol of increased significance to me people. It was tangible proof of the stability and permanence of British life and institutions. and the delirious public enthusiasm towards the King and his family .which was manifested after the Armistice, was proof of tile mingled national senti- ment of gratitude and affection to me Royal House and its wise and prudent head. in 1919, Mr. Lloyd George was not only Premier but virtuai dictator.

much criticised for this action, but Mr- A-soultli could be taught noth- ing of the tactics and strategy of P0litics. Without a clear majority in the House. the socialist Govern- ment could pass no legislation with- out the aid or consent of the Lib- "Si-S. and administrative experience, Mr. Asquith knew, would “tame" even Socialist doctrinnaires in time. And so it proved.

The advent of the first Socialist

Government was no ordinary mat. ter for the King. for it was some- thing that even in his reign he had never dealt with or considered be- fore. But the great tact, the demo- cratic humanity and the warm heart of the King made gn im.. mediate and lasting impression on the somewhat nervous Boclalist Ministers who were now in office. 011 hi-9 Side. His Majesty was great- ly struck with the pgrgongjitigg °g several members of the new cabinet and to the astonishment of every- b°dy behind the scenes, the ut. most cordiality and harmony was soon established between the King and his Labor Cabinet. '

The Socialist Ministers were

quick in appreciate the great. mow. ledge and experience of are ning in home and foreign affairs, and to His Male-vty's great gratuloailon they were not above asking his .ul- vioe on many important matters. In hm’ Personal relations with his Ministers the King was considers,- tion itself. Hearing that ons or two of them could not afford to buy Court Dress. His Majesty defrayed the cost of theln out of his own pocket.

"You can any me back ami- the

British Revolution-probe/bly I'll need the money then," the King remarked with a twinkle in his eye to a rather embarrassed lviinmm-

who was thanking ilim. _

4"You'li never get -your money back at all. sir, ill that case," cgme the answer, and the King laughed

again.

an immediate appeal to His Maj. esty. His natural dignity, charm of mimlef. his great brain a.rld wide culture won the King’s heart and admiration in the first month of his Premiership. It is related that when I-lis Majesty first saw Mr. MBCD0l1l_lld iff Cburt-Dmsg -_ 9. handsome and striking-looking figure-he remarked humorously: “You look more of s. King than I do." and Mr. MacDonald replied, "I wish I felt like one, Your Majesty; I'rn all nerves."

It is a fact that the King felt

much at home with nearly all his Socialist Ministers. One or two of them especially. Mr. J. I-I. Thomas and the late Mr. Walsh, Minister for War, always had a fund of good armies tc t/ell him. From the social- ists, the King learned a great deal of inside knowledge concerning so- cial and economic problems and H18 Majesty. after ine perpetual Irish problems, found new men and topics a refreshing change. When the diminutive Mr. Walsh told the King that he was refused admission to an Army barracks mar tendon by a hefty semeant who said scom- fully: "Minister of War, are you? Are you sure ycu’re not an escaped Boy Scout? Get out of here before I blow you over." His Monty roared with laughter.

The defeat of the Labor Govern-

ment at the polls after only I. few months' tenure of office, brought back Mr. Baldwin. but the King's outlook on national and interna- tional affairs was now subtly changed. The great social and economic problems of the day more and more occupied his atten- tion and in his public speeches he. made skniflcant references to such. questions as Unemployment and i-101181111 and Peace. In May lm there was to happen an event the consequences of which are felt to this day. Tile great General strike of 1926 is now a matter of history. How millions of British workmen Bid down theirtools as v. gestun of myrnpathy to the miners, and how the challenge to the life of the nation was vigorously taken up by the Government, is still frelhly remembered by the British public. But the inner story of that umm- cedented nina days strike hu never yet been told-and the time is not

yet. ‘ The widely-believed story that the King summoned the Socialist ¢x.oa,binet Ministers to Bucking- ham Palace and reminded them of their Privy Council oath, is a pure canar-d.

“Another crisis over," was ,the

King's comment when news of the end ofthe Strike was conveyed to him. "I wonder what the next one will bel" The next one. in point of fact, was his unexpected and .ser- ious illness at the end of 1928. The country hardly realizes yet how

but when he recovered in the spring of i929, the abundant and over- whelming national rejoicing over lt. warmed the. Kings heart and al-` most for the first time he realized his tremendous hold on the love of his people. His Majesty began to look and feel much younger and thc more stable political and industrial situation at home aided the pro- cess. The return of the second La- bor Government in 1919 did noth- in! to damp the Klng’s new spirits and optimism, but as His Majesty himself said privately:

"lt was mo good to last." The great economic storm which

was destined to devastate the world may have commenced with the sev- ere bllmani which swept Wall Street in November, 1929, but it was some llttle.tilne» before it was felt in Great Britain. The second Inbox' Govsrnmentv like thenrst one, was in a minority position and intemal dissenslons fanned by external in- fluences were sapping its energy and vitality. The unemployment figures Wm- =t¢sd11y_ mounting. the "dole" was being given with a lavish and lnnlsoriinlmw hand, and the no. tional expenditure was increasing all round. Meanwhile. industry was rapidly slowing down, as the world- slump extended.

Tile situation when read in con-

junction with- the expenditure alarmed many economic experts at home, and yielding to pressure. the Government appointed the Mayi Committee to examine the whole subject of the na-tional finances. The sensational report of tl-ist Com- mittee with its alarming figures ami doleful prophecies staggered people in Britain. but it drove for- eign investors in Britain abroad, in- to a veritable panic. The "run" on the Bank of Bngla-nd fm- mid and the ,heavy sorllrll vi Ex-itish secur- ities at once begin. and the social- ist‘Gbvernment was at its wits’ end to deal .with the ominous situation.

The King, during .these critical

days, was the coolest mln behind the scenes. Ha had complete faith in Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Snow- den, but he realized that to expect a Labor Government to propose drastic reductions in the "dole" and in wages and salaries, was too much-even’ when recommended urgently by an investigating Com- mittee. In this the King was A shrewder judge than Mr. MwaDojn-` ald. who firmly believed to the end that he would be able to induce his Cabinet to adopt the economy proposals en bloc. ' H

It is said- that the King was

strongly opposed to the asking of credits from America. and France to support the gold standgrd, but, of course, he could not interfere with the considered decision of the Cabinet and the Treasury. ' There have been books published abroad dealing with the event; in Britain in 1931, purporting to prove that

the King. was _responsible for the fall of t e Labor Governrnerrt, and that it was a long-arranged plot with the connlvanre of Mir. Mac- Donald. Mr. Snowdon. Mr. Baldwin and other party leaders.

Nothing could be more absurd or

further' from the truth. When the Premier reported to the King that the majority of his Cabinet col- leagues were unwilling to follow his lead, His Majesty knew that the days of the administration were numbered. The position was critical in the extreme. Britalrfs impending financial collapse was being freely dismissed a.ll over Europe and Am- erica, and the natlorr's prestige and power in the world, built up by centuries of endeavor, was gravely fmperilled.

The Xing. as a true patriot and

the custodian of the oourltry's age- ‘long traditions, was determined that every effort should be made to harness together the best brains of the nation, to save it from an ignominoul fate. His Majesty not only 'naw the Opposition leaders, but practically every industrial and economic expert available. Nearly all the latter were agreed that a “National” Government was now absolutely essential. but no one could imagine the Conservative

K 7 Stories of Prince Edward Island

lllmd Travel Bureau. <

(By Lewis P. Clinton, Charlotietownf

P.E.I.> »

A welcome to Royalty. and a, royal

welcome-two in one. Village and hamlet was agog, and Charlotte- town in foie. The swallow-tail was on the operating table having the dust spanked out and the creases and rough places ma/.le smooth. The "beaver", that crowning glory ot prvud man. under brush and silk handkerchief, was taking on the polish and shine to fit it for its place amongst compeers of style and dignity. Flor great was to be tim occasion, and keen the com- petition. Both tuned and brushed up to their best: and why? To bid welcome and to do homage and honor to Royalty. The orb of day had just settled

behind the golden horizon. Her Majeety's Ship “Dart” had dl'0l7- ped anchor. and decorated with flags and ensigns of Royalty rested Pclweilllly on the waters of the Hillsboro. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, the gladly welcom- ed guest of the City and Province, was on board preparing to embark. Queelfs Wh-arf and the docks near- by were peopled by an eager and expectant multitude. The vessels and harbor craft dressed in their flying colors united to honor the distklguished visitor.

In those days the decorative art

was in the prime of skill and nat ure’s perfection. The whole city was in e. great blaze of glory, mer- chant and official and householder, vieing with ee/ch othe; in the con- test for supremacy in the magnifi- cence of display. Outstanding ,in this race for distinction were the large businesawhouaes of Ben] Davies, G. and S. Davies, J. B Carveli and Peake Bros. and Co. Flags were floating from every win- dow, and from improvised fiagstaffs in front of each premise. Private houses all over the city emulated this example, and from lawn sates to cupola or turret the sentiment of the home was voiced in the multi colored streamers and emblematic declarations of loyalty md welcome to the son of our Queen.

As His Royal Highness and Suite

deoended from the "War-ship” ln- to the Barge of state the guns of St. C.eorge‘s Battery at Fort Ed- ward pealed forth the twenty-one gun Royal Salute i.n glad welcome, announcing as far as the voice of cannon could reach, the arrival of our expected guest and, amid the

°.~.-r, in-= r;n:;.:.g x Church bells. and the strains of rich music funn the Volunteer Band, the RDYBI visitor received the first hand-shake onthe Island, named after his illustrious grand- father Edward. Duke of Kent. from the representatives of a colony most affectionate in their loyalty to a beloved Queen.

The first arch at head of Queen's

Wharf was of Gothic design, of evergreen spruce and profuse floral decoration. The Union Jack waved in majestic splendour from its sum- mit, with auxiliary ensigns on eith- er side adorned with mottoes,- “Weloome: welcome to H.R.H. Prince Arthur, and thrice welcome to Queen Vlctoria's son."

Passing along the carpeted land-

ing and emerzilis from the Arch

'the Prince was formally received

by Sir Robert Hodgson. Adrrrinistra- tor of the Government, in the bar- ouche of state drawn by two white horses, caper-isonod in white plumes and glittering harness in mountirlgs of gold.

infected everyone with his exalted sense of duty and intense national pride. Indeed, it is not too much to say that His Majesty was respon- sible more than anyone else for the great patriotic feeling which seem- ed to electrlfy the whole country during and immediately after the crisis. The overwhelming victory of Mr. M,a.oDonald’g first Coalition Government at the polls was a complete vindication of the King's opinion that the situation, like the Great War, demanded united ac- tion and that such action was de- sired by the mass of the people.

'I’he dramatic abandonment by

Britain of the Gold Standard later created a minor crisis of its own, but the National Government succeeded in countaracting any major evil resuligl-much to the world's amaze- rrsmt and envy-

It is said that a foreign mon-

archonce asked the King how he felt towards all the various crises in his reign.

'The Innis vs. Commons crisis

worried me because I had little ex- perience of politics," the King is re- ported to have answered. “the Irish question annoyed me because with goodwill and common sense it could easily have been settled; the War pained me terribly owing to the awful slaughter. and the recent ec- onomic crisis alarlrrcd me because it was something new and unfor- asm and like a vhitation from above.

That the countries of the Empire

are the most stable and prosper- ous in the world is due in no small measure in the really great and wise Bnperor. Queen Victoria and King Edward VII were both fierce- ly attacked in their lifetime, but not a word of abuse and criticism has ever been direct/ed against H. M. King George V. When one considers his turbulent twenty-five years’ reign, such a fact seems a miracle. Prom one crisis to another the King has stepped-always unwilling but never falteringly. and at the end of each and all he has emerged with enhanced prestige and pop- ularity. -

ceded the various benevolent and fraternal societies which turned out in full f0l‘°e. and full regalia, to honor the occasion. In the line of march a torchlight procession add- ed to the lustre. Houses and sicres were ablam with iliuminations in all the hues of the rainbow, and the tlnts of artistic genius. So elabor- ate and so bright that even the countcnances of the Prince and his escorts were plainly visible to the masses that thxonged the highway.

In front of the Market Square a

triple Arch, designed by Major Pollard, C.C. was erected. The Union Jack fiaunted its proud col- ors from the pinnacle. Suspended from the interior an evergreen

-R wreath was interwoven with white

roses, and Bt. George's Cross in its center. Inscribed on one side the | moticr, "Arthur Patrick William Albert,” son of our beloved Queen."

And as the great procession mov-

ed onward towards Govemment House the vast gathering of people and jostling multitudes made the

and re-echo with the hearty and prolonged cheering. and the lusty declarations of enthusiastic wel- come from the populace.

It was after sunset. Private houses

in every quarter of the City were illuminated. not in slip-shod man- ner but in artistic taste. Each pane 'of Blass colored with tissue, and lighted tapers belid. small flags extending out from each window sill, and larger ones from many flag-Staffs. all united to make the celebration a, whole community

tribute.

The pyroiechnic display was on

a munlflcent scale. Rockets. colored ,bells, crackers. pinwheels and vol- 'f=°=\¢‘ “evils 111'-vi me \_1s\1lf-e shows. while _man-made stars and lurid colors danced through the heavens in every direction, in irnpudent disregard of every surrounding. It was a City all ablaze in gorgeous display reflecting the iridescence of the rainbow and the' changing hues of a jewel bespangled demon- stration.

Only ii. few days preceeding this

His Excellency Sir John Young, Governor General (of Irish decent) had paid official visit ./o the Island. Our bard. of "Paddy the Piper” | fame, gave welcome in the follow- ing stanza, iatcr adapted to the Royal Prince Patrick: "How are Sir John? and how have

you been?

room of the Queen.

The day following (Sunday) was

transformed from a day of rest in- to a sphere of curiosity and excito- ment. We, of the small boys, load- ed up to our hair roots with a crave to see just what a real live Prince looked like. The children of Vic- toria the Good were educated to the love of the House oi God. and His Highness attended Divine wor- ship in the Established Church.

Old St. Paul’s was then less pic-

turesque than the beautiful green awarded edifice of today. The church grounds were surrounded by a solid board fence six feet high. Our boy generation was endowed -with en- ough of political ambition to aim after n conspicuous seat on the top of the fence. The whole was converted into a grand .stand with sitting room at a premium. I was suooemful in corlscripting the West- ern corner and over the sea. of feathered bonnets and stove-pipe hats I had a splendid view of the Prince exalted in his lofty seat in the Governors carriage.

There was some disappointment.

The story pictures of princes and kings with cocked hats and gold epaulets and stripes had misled me. Instead of stately personage of mil- itary mien, decked with gilding; and badges of distinction wc be- held a nineteen year old boy, of handsome and benevolent features, dressed in the finer broadcloth of our own genteel, ever and anon bowing court/eously in recognition of the subdued enthusiasm of the people, the manners of a mlm of culture on the shoulders of a boy. Those who in 1912-i3 remember him as Duke of Connaught and Gov- crncr General of Canada. on his visit to our Province, in his portiy and handsome manhood. may guess that as a boy he would be most at- tractive. espeoiallyr to young ladies, although of slighter build than in later years.

Because of space I must pass

over- the oeicmonials, familiar to such events. The crowning feature of entertainments was in a. grand bail and banquet in the Colonial Building the evening* before the Prince's dcpartifre. It was preceed- ed by a Levee in Government House -where all who desired were pro- aentod to His Roni Highness. -

NEURITIS

.,\ _

Those who look well usually get

but little sympathy. Those who suf- fer, and some do suffer intensely, from neurltis, seldom show ally evidence of their affliction. Neu-

riiis is all inflammation which may

be imlited to one nerve. or it my spread to several. '

Nerves are card-like in appear-

ance, consisting of many nerve fib- res or strands bound together un- der a. covering or sheath. The in- fiamation may be confined to the sheath, or it may spread in to the nerve fibres.

There are several kinds of ner-

ves, the sensory nerves carry mes- sages from the outside and the re- sponse is carried back by the motor nerves. Touch a hot stove, and the sensory nerves of the skin,flash a message to the brain which im- mediately, through the motor ner- ves io the hand, withdraws _thc hand from the hot stove. It all happens so quickly that it seems hardly possible for messages to have time to pass back and forth, but so it is. A nerve may have both sen- sory and motor fibres; it is then known as a mixed nerve.

It follows. from this explanation,

that the symptoms of rleurltis will vary according to which kind of nerve is inflamed. The outstanding symptom is pain which may be either a. steady, dull ache or sharp stabs. The nerve itself is sensitive when pressed upon, and sometimes the skin over the nerve is red and swollen.

If it is a motor nerve which is

inflamed, then there is loss of func- tion, partial or complehr. in the part supplied by the nerve. In- flammation of the sensory or mixed ncrvc will cause an itching or ting-
