(By United Press Leased Wire.) LONDON, June 22—Kitchener threw a wet blanket over whole of the coronation festivities.” Deeply disappointed over the comparative lack of enthusiasm and splendor at his crowning, King George V., on his return from West minster Abbey today, is reported to have summed up his chagrin in the above remark. There is no question that the edicts of Lord Kiteh- ener, who was in charge of the troops along the route of the pageant, alded greatly in marring the free expression of the people's enthusiasm. Thousands upon thousands of would-be spectators were barred from the route by the former Girdar’s iron discipline, and it is certain that Kitchener hereafter will not be as popular with their majesties ae he has been. Kitchener's edicts were almost Ru . % the LONDON, June 22.—Before the assembled nobility of his realm and the representatives of foreign nations all over the world, King George V, of England, was today crowned at 12:37 o'clock in West minster Abbey. ‘i Fifteen minutes later the crown was placed on the head of Queen ary. Their majesties were in the best of health for the ceremonies. The naught in honor of the foreign guests. ALMOST A FROST It was apparent from the ular standpoint that the demonstration by the people in the streets was hardly up to what the authorities had prepared to handle, and their extensive preliminary work in the placing of strong detachments of troops and police appeared ridiculous. The outbursts of applause were much less spontaneous and general tham had been expected ‘0 an ontooker it was almost a frost i; Inside the abbey, however, the enthusiasm was great The stage } management of the coronation wa t and not the slightest hitch marred the proceedings Throughout the whole perf night vast crowds converged to the rout of the coronation pag t and by daylight the streets for many bloc around the abbey were packed to suffocation CRUSH OF THE MILLIONS Despite an overcast sky and occasional sprinkles of rain, whick, tended to mar the brilliancy of the pageant, the crush of the millions” who looked on was terrif} DIRECTED BY “IRON MAN” Under the direction of Kitchener, the “iron man,” the troops haé begun their movements at midnight, and despite the objections of th police, Britain's first soldier insisted on the maintenance of the by riers he had erected at the intersecting streets along the coronation route At 9:30 o'clock foot traffic alor first section of the procession arriv the crush was terrific, and scores of the spectators fainted In the press. Among the notables in this section was John Hays Hammond, the American special ambassador, whose reception by the people was « the route was stopped, and the i at the abbey at 9:55. There KING SWEATS; QUEEN COOL It was just 10:52 o'clock when King George and Queen Mary, ia the state coach, reached Westminster Abbey. From the moment of their entrance into the ancient structure, King George was manifestly uneasy, and was bathed in a nervous perspiration. Queen Mary, om the other hand, was cool as could be, and certainly looked much more regal, with her assured demeanor, than did her husband. “BONNET” PUT ON 0. K, During the actual coronation the Archbishop of Canterbury dis: played little emotion, His hands trembled somewhat as he placed: the crown on George's head, but otherwise the aged prelate got through the ordeal easily. At the ceremony Lord Dashley carried the train of King George's robe, and Lord Revelstoke bore the crown. The ‘ Prince of 8 wore the robes of the Order of the Garter, and the a princes were “braw” in plaid and tartan. a MILORD KITCHENER TRIPS a Only one little incident marred the success of the coronation. That 4 was when, in marching up the aisle, Lord Kitchener stumbled over one of the pages in attendance on Lord de Ruthyn. The hero of Egypt lunged forward over the boy, and barely escaped measuring his length in the aisle, while a titter of amusement that the “iron soldier,” whose dignity as a rule is unsbakable, should have been the unfortunate one, swept throughout the mass of notables who were on tiptoe for the big event CLASH WITH POLICE One of the most serious mischances of the day occurred in Trafalgar square Just before their majesties reached it on the return route. When the police attempted to clear the way for the procession, the spectators resisted, and the police were driven back until, reinforcements arriving, they were enabled to press back the throngs. Several persons were se riously injured in the clash, CHARGER PLUNGES AT CROWD Another little incident of the pageant‘ occurred near Westminster Abbey. The charger of one of the life guards, terrified-by the crowds, bolted, and was on the verge of plunging into the mass of people whem policeman risked his life and stopped the fearstricken horse barely in time to save some of the spectators from death or injury. All along the route of the pageant during the return trip there was great confusion In every block spectators and soldi¢rs collapsed from the terrific pressure, and no sooner had the pageant passed than ambulances were busy in its wake carrying out those who fell. BROTHER CHARLIE AND KING “PIERP” SEE THE SHOW LONDON, June Except for outside newspaper cor- respondents, the only Americans inside Westminster Abbey during the coronation in an unofficial capacity were Charles P, Taft, his wife and daughter, and J.
