London, March 18.—King George leaves tomorrow on the southern trip prescribed by his physiclans during his recent attack of bron- | chitis. Accompanied by Queen Mary he will leave in the morning for Dover, thence crossing to Calais where the party will board the British royal train which is {isually kept at Dun- kirk in readiness for such occasions. The Irench government had of- fered its sumptuous °presidential train for (he journey . through Irance, but their majesties prefer-' red their own, as the trip is not of an officlal nature, Arriving at Genoa on Friday they will embark on the royal yacht Vie- torla and Albert, which is already there under the care of twe British destroyers. The itinerary of the Mediterranean cruise has not yet been fully anged hut probably | will include visits to the Islands of Malta and Majorca, and it is stated that the king will witness the Brit- ish naval mancuvers off the latter place. Owing to King George's infre- quent absences since his enthrone- ment in 1910, the appointment of a | specialcommission to care for the business of state while he is away has almost an air of novelty, and the newspapers print at length the quaint official announcement issued from the palace yesterday in anti- quated, mediaeval phraseology. “For divers causes and consider- ations,” it said, the king instructed his “right trusty and well beloved counsellors,” Prince Henry, the chbishop of Canterbury, Viscount Cave and Premier Balgwin, to look after the safety and good govern- ment of the realm during his ab- sence, empowering them to do an: |thing that appears necessary and e: | pedient to them except dissolve par- |liament or confer ranks and titles. | Such a commission has acted only once previously during the reign of the present sovereign, when he went |to India in 1911—but they were | frequent in King Rdward's reign. It |18 recalled that only one privy coun- lcil was held under a commission |throughout Queen Victoria’s long | rule, namely in 1898, when it was summoned to proclaim Great Brit- |ain's neutrality in the war between |the United States and Spain.
