[[left margin]] Death of King George [[\left margin]]
[[red underlined]] Death of King George of England [[\red underlined]] causes causes general sympathy all over the country.  All newspapers speak highly eloquently about his character and the way he resigned, and he deserves it.

Most laudable comments over all radio's here.
