Expressing his thanks to his people for their solicitude and prayers during his recent long and severe illness, King George addressed a message to the Empire which was made public last night: "Looking back on my long illness and recovery my heart is full of thankfulness of a far deeper origin than any mere sense of relief. I have been brought back from the danger and weariness of the past few months by the wonderful skill and devotion of my doctors and nurses and health has come to me from another source; of., strength. "As month after montn'Sve'nt by, I learned" ofthe widespread and loving solicitude with which the Queen and I have been surrounded. I am able to picture to myself the crowds of friends waiting and watchirig at my ates and to think of a still greater number" of those who'through-out the Empire were remembering me with prayers and good wishes. Realization of this has been amotlg the most vivid experiences of my life. It is encouragement beyond description to feel that my constant 'and' earnest desire has been granted. My desire to gain the. confidence and affection of my people." "My thoughts carried me even further. I cannot dwell on the generous sympathy shown me by unknown friends in many other countries without new and moving hope. I long to believe it possible that experiences such as mine may soon appear no longer exceptional when the national anxieties of all peoples of the world shall be felt as a common source of human sympathy and a common claim on human friendship; "I am not able to bear the strain of a public ceremony, but I am looking forward to some appointed day for joining my people at home and overseas in thanking God not onlv fnr mv nwn rprhvnrv. but for new evidences of groW- tf -w. ... w....

Anglo-American friendship is generally deemed to have made a giant forward stride as u result of the American offers yesterday for the settlement of world naval problems. The spontanity with .vhich Lord Cushendun, British under-secretary for for-ign affairs, haiied the declarations of Hugh Gibson, Uni-ed States representative at the preparatory armament conference, which really were declarations of President Hoover, has produced a most optimistic atmosphere and topes Were' high that not only an agreement to reduce aaval forces may be attained eventually, but that also problems of world armaments in all their branches, sea, and and air, one day may find some happy solution. The fundamental principle of theUnifed "Styles yro-osal is that of reducing the fleets by applying the idea of equivalent tonnage. The suggestion of estimating the equivalent tonnage by taking into consideration other factors than mere tonnage of warships is in its essence believed to represent an American effort to dispose of the question of naval parity which for a long time caused dis cussion between America and Britain. It is believed to embody the earnest United States desire to recpgnize Britain's need for a reasonable number X)f smaller sized cruisers to maintain the communications of the mother country with her far-flung colonies. If the equivalent tonnage system is adopted, it is conceivable that Britain might have more small cruisers than the United States because of their effective value. Counted in the reckoning their total tonnage would he counted as less than their actual tonnage value. 4 LONE I;;::; ; declinedto CALLED TODAY AT COURT HOUSE HERE the greater part of his time In ! recent years to the editorship , A somewhat unique oc- of his trade journal, the Mining ' currence was the call this mnrninor of a lone wild goose for about fifteen min-utee on the Court House grounds.
