His MajTt-y Passed Only a Fair Night.

(Special to the Guardian)

BOGNOR. Sussex" lileb. lz-King George had his first experience with Bogncr sunshine today when alter yesterday's cold biting winds and gray skies. the dawn broke clear. It was said that '81s Majesty passed only a fair night. The gale raging ihrcukh the dark hours caused him some disturbed periods as it beat at the‘ windows. This morning. however, after the sun came out his doctors professed themselves as not dissat- isfied with his condition. The house- hold at Craigwell House feels that as soon as the cold abates the King will be more likely to show a definite improvement.

TORONTO, Feb. 12-Pipe Major rprsyth. one of tha- staff at Bucking- ham Palace is with the King at Bog- nor. It is his duty to play Scottish airs at 8 a. m. every day outside the King's bedrooms. He has done so throughout the King's illness, except in wet weather when the King will not allow it.

IiONDON, Feb. li-Newspapers yesterday published a photograph oi the King lying in an ambulance. His Majsstyiswastsdtoa “‘ and no one canexpect him to be fit again for many months. There is public appreciation but no surprise that the Prince of Wales finds it necessary to curtail some oi his per- sonal pursuits. and is soiling the greater part oi’ his stud of fifteen hunters and point to point horses. He has not played polo foi- two years and he will not take part in point to point races this year. He does not intend. however. to give up occasional hunting for this is the sport oi everybody in the English countryside who has the means to indulge in it.

The ‘Prince has lo be in LOndOfl almost continuously while the Kins is at Bognor. He received all the im- portant people who would in the or- dinary course be granted audiences with the King and he will take the King's place at courts. lsvsss and other functions The Prince must keep in close touch with political aiiairs in view o! the approaching general election and all its possibil- ities o! no party having no clear majority.

There is keenest disappointment among the towniolk oi Melton Mow- bray at the news that the Prince's lodge is to be let and his horses sold. He has done much to enhance the popularity oi this famous hunting country. but people take the situation philosophically, saying they can un- dsrstsnd that the Prince has duties for which his pleasures must be sac- rlilced.

BOGNOB, Susseic. Feb. lh-Klng George's interest in government af- fairs is increasl , daily, The King will soon ask Prime Minister Stan- ley Baldwin in visit him at Craig- well House. where he is recovering from his serious illness. to discuss governmental matters, it was under- stood today. King George was rep- resented as particularly worried be- cause his illness necessitated post- ponement of a publication oi the regular new year's honor lists. and it was said he was anxious to examine the narnl on it. Kin: George's favorite terrier "Snip!" and his not parrot "Charlotte" left behind when the King was transferred to Craig- well House, Bognior, Thursday have been disconsolatie since. "Where's the Captain?" the parrot constantly asks plaintively, while lnlpe runs about Buckingham Palace in search oi hh masks".

Debate On, Titles Starts In House

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Feb. 13.--Two sides oi parliamentary life were on view in" the House of Commons yesterday and today. Yesterday was the glam- our of a big debate with the housc leaders in action, the galleries filled and the applause of now the opposi- tion, now the government supporters resounding through the chamber.

Today the commoners had the irk- soma mostly uninterested. bub very important task oi examining the government's legislation as bill after bill got its start in the route which will eventually lead in most cases to royal assent which will make it law. One bill made all the stages oi’ the commons, obtaining third reading after it had been considered in the committee oi the whole. It was the one relatkg to amendments to the root and vegetables act. Others reach- ed the committee stage but no fur- ther hitch held them up.

Near the close of the afternoon the proceedings were brightened when the debate on titles got underway. C. H. Cohan. Conservative.

Arctic Temperatures Still Prevail in Many European (Ioimtries.

h (Canadian Press)

LONDON. Feb. lZ-Except in Tur- key where a sudden rise in tempera- ture today brought welcome relief to the suffering Turkish people, there was no indication tonight of a yielding oi an iron grip of extreme cold which holds all Europe with the exception of Spain, Portugal and Italy. '

Untold miseries have resulted, from Arctic temperatures of a severity hardly equalled by any records that the modem civilized world has kept. a cold so intense as to crack steel bridges and railroad lines and to bring troops of hungry wolves and wild boars to attack villagers as was reported today in the Balkans and in Belgium.

Already many human activities have been brought to a standstill. Navigation along the whole coast. from Holland clear into the frozen Baltic has become next to impossible. The strongest ice breakers are powerless to make their way through the daily thickening ice. Ships and ferries are icebound and are being provi- sioned by aeroplanes.

The same state of things obtains in Central European waterways. R511. road communications in Europe were carried on only with- the greatest difllculty Wday. it is impossible as yet to estimate the toll oi death and suffering. The deaths will probably mount into hundreds with innum- erable cases oi frost bite,

From Jugo Slavic. came word that foxes. deer and hares are so tame through cold and hunger that they are easily caught by hand. Swans frozen to the ice surface oi ponds in Germany were extricated by ho); W3,- ter.

The British Isles escaped the worst. oi the cold. but even here the tem- perature was unusually extreme.
