Speaks From His Heart

It was at Cape Town. that the

Duke made one of the most moving and e- speeches of tho (our laying down the notes which he had

been using, and speaking words which came most plainly from his heart.

“I greatly deplore." he said, “the continuance of this lamentable struggle which has so long prevailed l South Africa. and for the speedy lamination of which the whole Em- pire fervently prays. During this time you have had‘ to make grievous sacrifices. Numbers have patiently suffered trials and privatlohs while many of the flower of your manhood have fallen the service of their Kins and ooun y. To all who have boon bereft of dear ones by the War we offer our- heartfelt sympathy and condolence. May time, the great healer, bring them consolation and soften the bitterness of their losses."

The travellers lived for a month in c. special train, with two state coaches, the ‘Cornwall’ and ‘York’, beautifully decorated, with reception rooms. bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms.

The scenery through which the train travelled was marvellous. the first stop being at Montreal. where the sisters at the Convent greeted them with a simple. beautiful speech in those words only: “The Lord Preserve thy going out and thy coming in."

There was an informal entertain- ment at Ottawa in a lumber-man's camp. and then. going on into the Rockies, snow was seen for the first time at Winnipeg. where a great Indian gathering had been arranged.

When the Proclamation was made that June 38th would be Goa-nation Day, excitement and enthusiaun ran high, ail-over the country. and as the time drew near. vlslttrn from all over the Empire thronged Ilcndon.

By the end of the first week of the month, the decorations 0f the streets were almost complete; in Whitehall stood the great Canadian Arch and bunting and flags were every where.

'l‘hat night, the uneasiness became a definite thing.

. A Moving Scene

On June 28th. however. a bulletin announced:

‘We are happy to be able to state that we consider his Majesty out of immediate danger. By July 13th the King was well enough to travel to Portsmouth. where he cruised in his yacht until AUBUBt 0th, returning to London for Oornatlorl. now fixed for August 9th. The service was slightly abridged. but none the less gorgeous. and Prince Edward and Prince Albert of Wales. inwhiic sailor suits and enormously intrested, saw all from the Royal Box.

As the mode-salon of the Prince and En-lncess of Wales issued from the nave. a wave of feeling ran through the Abbey. for the Prince was extra- ordinarily popular. One of the most touching incidents occurred when the Prince performed his homage. Tak- ing off his comet and kneeling before the King, he pronounced the beauti- ful words, only restored fully to the ceremony on this occaslouz-"I
