King George's connections with America were many and various throughout his life. He was per- sonally acquainted with many leading Americans. He took an intimate interest in affairs on the western side of the ocean and this interest took the form of a number of messages to presidents of the United States and kindly inquiries on the progress of events in that country. The King had an idea of American atmosphere and customs through his close contacts with Cnnz\dn.‘ The head of the British Empire was ever gracious to western visitors. Every court levee saw a coterie of | Americans included. When the American Legion held its convention in Paris several years ago, the British King made a point of entertaining several hun- dred of the delegates at Buckingham Palace. How close was the King's association in thought with America may be seen in the messages he sent Calvin Coolidge. When the Mississippi flooded in 1927, with tremendous loss of life and property, King George cabled President Coolidge extending his sym- pathies and regrets. The same procedure was followed in the case of the S-4 submarine disaster and the hur- ricane in September, 1928, which devastated Porto Rico | posing eminence from which an excellent view of the | and the lower eastern coast of the United States. ‘When Col. Charles Lindbergh flew from Paris to London, after his epochal trans-Atlantic flight, King | George decorated him with the Royal Air Force cross It was at the conclusion of the World War with the signing of the Armistice tht the English monarch expressed the kindred spirit of the two countries when in a message to President Wilson he said: “It is on this day .one of our happiest thoughts that in American and British peoples, brothers-in- | arms, will continue forever brothers-in-arms, by langu- age, traditions, kinship and ideals. There has been set upon our fellowship the sacred seal of common sac- rifice.” P ‘The divinity that doth hedge a king will now perhaps cloud some of the romance and glamor which have sur- rounded the new King as Prince of Wales. To the feminine mind, the Prince of Wales has for | years been an alluring figure. In hundreds of American homes there is a picture of the Prince tucked away in this boudoir or that. coronation train of his late father, in 1910, and was formally proclaimed Prince of Wales, he has been to feminine England the peak of their social struc- ture and the first young man in the world. Wher- | ever he has gone he has found groups of adoring girls and women waiting to greet him. Princess Ma: his sister, jestingly nicknamed the Prince of Wales, “David, the Lady-Killer.” The Prince had teased the Princess with the number of photo- graphs she usually takes, she would exhibit the many photos she possessed showing him greeting young women in all parts of the world, and entitle her exhibit “David the Lady- Killer.” ‘The world’s. most noted bachelor gracefully showed his gratitude to all womanhood for this flood of ad- miration in a speech in London in aid of the Royal Lifeboat fund. “You will not get far without the help of the women,” he said. “With it you can do most anything, for women have a gift of sympathy and self- | sacrifice that carries all before it.” Although the Prince’s declaration caused a stir in British society, one of the London newspapers declared : “It is a high compliment to woman, but there is a still higher one which a bachelor prince could pay. . .

She looks forward with anticipation and good wishes to| €ether about two weeks ago in a demand on Britain | for a return to the liberal constitution of 1923. The the rule of the popular and democratic Prince, now Edward the Eighth, of England. The warm relations between the two countries may be even more closely cemented under his reign. INTERESTING EGYPT Emil Hurja, former Alaska newspaper man and now assistant to James A. Farley, Chairman of the Democratic National Com- mittee, was one of those making the recent Interesting trip to the Philippines for the inaugural ceremonies of the new Philip- pine Commonwealth. On the journey, Mr. Hurja, an able writer, prepared exclusively for The Empire a series of articles covering the voyage, the ceremonies and the inter- esting places enroute. He and Mrs, Hurja con- tinued on around the world from the Philip- pines and he tells granhically of the colorful places they visited. The thirteenth of the inter- mhg articles is presented herewith: By EMIL HURJA CAIRO, Egypt.—Christmas eve in Cairo has proved advance, | a favor it they will promptly | Ever since the Prince, a youth of 16, walked in the | and she retorted by saying | to be a most interesting experience for us, due to the kindness and courtesy of our American minister, Bext ! Fish, whose guests we have been since we landed at| Suez early yesterday morning. Nine and one-nall days from Bombay across the broad stretch of Indian ocean to Aden, British coaling port at the mouth or‘ the Red Sea, and thence up the long, narrow Red sea to the miouth of the Suez canal, constitutes a pretty sizeable journey in itself. We had splendid . weather, and a sea without a ripple, but Suez looked | good to us in the early morning light. troopships, and countless cargo boats, heading for the | rocky coasts that we could see silhouetted against the | skyline as Africa, home of beleaguered Ethiopia. On | the eastern shore of the Red Sea, steaming a short distance out of Aden, we noticed the ancient city of Mokha, once the center of the south Zrabian coffee trade, now as deserted as the skeletons of old mining camps of Nevada mining boom days. a population of over 25000 a hundred years ago, but with thetestablishment of the British port of Aden it | began to dwindle. The town is surrounded by a wall; | many of the large white buildings are in ruins, but the lofty minarets of two mosques still stand as senti- nels against the blue Arabian sky to remind the pass- | ing world of a place that gave its name to the world land then died. For here is where the expression: | cup of Mokha” originated, to signify, as always, a goud | cup of coffee. Landing in Suez, Minister Fish haa automobiles | waiting for Senator and Mrs. Wheeler, their daughter, Frances Wheeler and Senator Reynolds and his daugh- ter, Frances Reynolds and Mrs. Hurja and me. The two hour and a half drive through the desert started |in darkness, but before we were half an hour out, the 1dawn began, with beautiful cloud effects. It was an }mu‘resting drive, though a dusty one, past desert huts | of camel drivers, with occasional mosques jutting from hilltops into a leaden sky. Into Heliopolis, modern stopped at the historic Shepard’s Hotel. founded in 973 A.D. and at various times has beei in possession of Turks, Arabs, French and English. It |is an interesting and colorful city, with its mosques |and temples and above all, its medieval citadel, built by Saladin, crowning a high eminence. From it we 1 could see the Nile below us, and in the distance through | the haze, the everlasting pyramids. | In one of the mosques we saw visible evidence of the brief reign of Napoleon in Egypt. When he attacked and captured the city, his cannon were trained on the towers that came to view. Whether they were forts or churches, did not matter. In the tower of one mosque were numerous dents, made, we were told, by Napoleon's cannon in 1798. In fact, one cannonball was visible, still stuck in the masonry of the minaret. Due to the thoughtfulness of Minister Fish, who before being named by President Roosevelt to this post, was an orange grower in Florida, we got the treat of our | Mena Hotel, in the age-long shadow of | pyramid. He had provided camels and the entire party set out on camel-back to gel a close-up view of the | pyramids and the Sphinx. It was an interesting ex- | perience, riding across a bit of desert waste to an im- | | sphinx and the giant pyramid was obtainable. The ‘dragonmn with us promised to change the names of the two camels that Mrs. Hurja and I rode to “Demo- crat” and “Roosevelt,” not, however, until after he had | been mellowed by a tip of twenty piastres, equivalent ‘in our money to a dollar. | Trying to see Egypt i a 1ew days is like trying to |get a view, almost, of our own Washington in ten minutes. It just can't be done. But our brief stay has given us a glimpse of the spirit and age of the place, and frankly, we like it. A two-hour visit to the step pyramid at Sakkara, the old- est stone monument in Egypt, built in the Third dynasty, visited the tombs of the Apis-bulls, a series of twenty- four granite sarocophagi, each weighing over 65 tons, | wherein reposed for nearly 4,000 years the mummified | remains of sacred bulls used in the rituals of long ago. In another mausoleum, all excavated by scientists, | we saw the murals in the tomb of Ti, a wealthy land- owner of about 2750 B. C., drawings carved into the rock showing pictorially the life of the ancients. They are considered the finest examples of ancient Egyptian art found anywhere. Back to Cairo, after driving several miles through the richly cultivated, green countryside, criss-crossed the ancient city of Memphis—a fallen colossal statue of Rameses II, which, when standing as an ancient | guardian of some forgotten tomb, was over 60 fect | finest in the world and surely greatest for Egyptian curiosities we had to finish in two hours, whereas two | days would do scant justice to the wealth of interesting | exhibits, Our chief interest was in the objects recovered |in the tombs of King Tutankhamen, or King Tut, to | use the current colloquialism. Beds, chairs, tables, all the accoutrements of an- clent life, were there, just as found, with the various } chambers, intact, in which they were discovered. Mum- | and jewelry of all descriptions, in dazzling assortment— all descriptive of a luxurious life of the ancient Kings. After a delightful luncheon at the American em- | bassy today, we are about to start for Alexandria, to | take ship again for Italy, and thence baek to the States. ‘While on arriving here we were told of many anti- English riots, they have subsided to a great extent since the party leaders of all parties in Egypt got to- there is a semblance of peace in Egypt. | probably due to the Italo-Ethiopian war, with its in- | tensification of Egyptian interest in her own national status.

That's what we're doing.” Encased in an icy mantle a foot in thickness, which extended from bow to stern and from topmast to water line, and with her main ven- tilator and the forward railings gonc both port and starboard, the steamer Northwestern of the Alaska Steam- ship Company arrived in port from Seward. As she came up the channel the vessel looked for all the world like a giant iceberg, only her funnel of smoke dimming the illusion.
