He will marry Wallis Warfield Simpson as man, not monarch. Albert Frederick Arthur George, the tall, 40-year-old Duke of York, will rule over the 495,000,000 subjects of the greatest empire on earth. He will reign as George VI. In “a message from his majesty the king, signed by his own hand,” Capt. Edward Algernon Fitzroy, speaker of the house of commons, announced the abdication to a house of commons in which tension and hysteria were breathing, living things.

There are no changes so far as Mrs. Simpson's plans are concerned. She plans to stay here at least until after Christmas.” Servants said she slept late and then was “on the line” for some time, in communication with London. Her solicitor, Theodore Goddard, reached London Thursday. An airplane, re- ported to carry his legal brief cases, left Le Bourget Thursday morning.

FRANCE POSTS GUARDS Dunkirk. France. Dec. 10.—()—The chief of special police Port of Dunkirk said Thursday night he had received orders tion extra guards at the waterfront in preparation for the arrival of former King Edward. “Realizing as I do the gravity of this step, I can that I shall have the understanding of my peoples scion have taken and the reasons which have | e it, ; “I will not enter now into my private feeling~but I beg that it should be remembered that the burden which ‘upon the shi of @ sovereignh:is so heavy that it can be borne in circumstances-different from ‘tHost in-which I find myself. + “I conceive that I am not overlooking the duty that rests on me to place in the forefront,of public interest when I declare. that I am conscious that I can no longer discharge this heavy task with efficiency or with satisfaction to myself, “T have accordingly this morning executed an instrument of abdication in the terms following: Determination Irrevocable “I, Edward VIII, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British dominions beyond the seas, king and emperor of India, do here- by declare my irrevocable determination to renounce the throne for myself and for my descendants and my desire that effect should be given to this instrument of abdication immediately. “In token whereof I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of December, 1936, in the presence of the witnesses whose signatures are subscribed. “Signed, Edward R. I. “My execution of this instrument has been witnessed by my three brothers, their royal highnesses the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent.” “I deeply appreciate the spirit which has actuated the appeals which have been made to me to take a different decision and I have before reaching my final determination most fully pondered over them. Delay Would Be Injurious “But my mind is made up. Moreover, further delay can- not but be most injurious to the peoples whom I have tried to serve as Prince of Wales and as king and whose future happi- ness and prosperity are the constant wish of my heart. “I take my leave of them in the confident hope that the course which I have thought it right to follow is that which is best for the stability of the throne and empire and happiness of my people. “I am deeply sensible of the consideration which they have always extended to me both before and after my accession to the throne and which I know they will extend in full measure to my successor. “I am most anxious that there should be no delay of any kind in giving effect to the instrument which I have executed and that all necessary steps should be taken immediately to secure that my lawful successor, my brother, his royal highness the Duke of York, should ascend to the throne.” YOUNG FINLEY MAN [sizwss of
