Passed-“Away

Lest Evening

Death Came Shortly Before Mid- night After Four Days’ Illness.‘

Royal Family P£e_se_nt At Bedside.

(C. P. Cable, By Guardian's Special Wire)

SANDRINGHAM. Jan.‘ 20. — King George V died tonight just before midnight after a sudden four-days’ illness. He was 70 years old. “

The Prince of Wales. who, at the age of 41, automatically became sovereign of the British Empire, was present at the bedside, together with Queen Mary, the Princess Royal. the Duke of York and the Duke and Duchess of Kent.

Death came at 11 :55 p.‘ m. (7:55 p. m-, A-S-T-)- A bulletin by his physicians said:

“Death came peacefully to the King at 11:55

p. m. tonight in the presence of Her Majesty, the. ~

Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York. the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Kent.” It was signed"“Willans, Hewett and Dawson.”

MUTE ANNOUNCEMENT

Almost precisely at midnight the lowering of the flag that fluttered above Sandringham House gave mute an- nouncement of the cnd.

It. was only Friday afternoon that the public learned the King was confined to his room with a cold. A first bulletin issued on the Kings condition that night. disclosed he had suffered an attack of bronchial catarrh, accom- panied by heart weakness.

His strength slowly ebbed and his heart action slowed down. The King died peacefully without pain.

Knowing the end was pear, the Royal Family remained up throughout the long evening.

Just before midnight the doctors realized death was imminent and hurriedly summoned Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales and the other members of the Royal Family, r

It was the 26th year of King George's reign, through an eventful period of world history during which he won the love and respect of his 450,000,000 subjects.

ASSUMES KINGSHIP

At the moment 0f his death the Prince of Wales auto- matically becume King, although many formalities must be gone through. He is the first bachelor King to ascend the throne in 176 years.

The King’s last official act was the signature of a document transferring most of his authority and duties to a council of state at a Privy Council held at 12.15 p.m. today, i

The King had just passed through the year of the Silver Jubilee celebration and had spent Christmas with his family at Sandringham House.

The strain of the Jubilec’s affairs and the death early in December of his sister, Princess Victoria, undoubtedly had taken toll of his strength.

NEWS FLASHED

News of the death was flashed to the far corners of the Empire and to British ships at sea.

Intimates said the King's last wish had been granted --that his last hours be spent in quiet and peaceful Sand- rlngham House-

The bulletin announcing his death was immediately posted at Jubilee Gate, immediately outside the house. It was read in silence by a group of villagers, who bored their heads. Then, many with tears in their eyes, they walked slowly homeward along the dark lanes, '

Within Sandrlnghnm, death bed to her eldest son for support, it wee reported.-

Presumably, the new Kllng will adopt the title of ‘Edward VIII.” His grandfather, who died in 1910, was Edward VII.

T0 LEAVE FOR LONDON

For the new King there were but few hours for private sorrow. He will be culled to London almost im-

medintely to assume, with traditional ceremony, the ‘it i-

mentie of klngehip. (Continued on rm ii)
