...British Reuters Agency reported. George V, having finished up his Scottish grouse shooting, announced that he would return to Buckingham Palace this week several days ahead of schedule. All his life a practical Navy man, His Majesty was far more alive than politicians like Squire Baldwin to the queer fact that big guns have a way of going off by themselves, and that His Majesty's Government had in fact placed the peace of Europe last week at the mercy of an incident...
