A few weeks ago they were just patients in a big base hospital. They were all in the same ward, and to keep up their spirits, they got to singing and “putting on sunts.” This not only cheered them up, but won all sorts of ap- piause from their sick and wound- ed comrades. 1 “Don’t tell me you're an ama- organized by | THURSDA«, APRIL 10, 1916 ed the army. the stage, too. at another teur,” as he looked approvingly and appraisingly Just finished telling a dialect story. ) “No,” confessed the other, “I'm ‘Sunshine Georgie' Hall, and I've been doing juvenile movie comedy the last three years—befors I join- But I've seen you on Where was it?” who had “Well, I've done my bit at the hits, New York theatres,” admitted the doughboy who had .spoken first, “In civil life I'm Val Marconi, of Marconi Brothers’ Wireless Orches- tra.

It has been the King's custom recently to go about meeting American officers and men at the camps and Y.M.C.A_ centers in England. On a visit to the Washington Inn, the American officers’ retreat in London, he re- marked to Stanley Ross Fisher, the “Y” man in charge of social activ- ities there: “You men of the Y.M.C.A, are do~ ing a great work. I understand that a good many English officers frequent this place, especially at meal {im: I hope they are not in the way ot at all,” replied Fisher, “We like the idea.” “Good,” said the King, “So long as American and British officers have their knees under the same table, we needn’t worry about inter- national complications.” The King and Queen are more fa- miliar figures to thousands of Amer- icans in England than any Presi- dent has been. They have visited nearly every big hotel and “Y” hut in England and Scotland. First photograph of the ( cabinet elected by the first assembly.
