\ PAGE TWELVE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919. We Told You So! Further Proof that 2.51% Beer is Non-Intoxicating King George Was Trained Like Any Other Midshipman Who Enters Eritish Navy PPVPLOPPOVIPOCTIVOPDLPIVTTD HE pavy had advanced a i good deal since King George i began his nautical experi ences, thirty years earlier. King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, showed his practical appre elation of the value of a sea training | when he decided to $ut both his sons = into the navy. Possibly he was in- i {| fluenced in this decision by a recol- | {| | lection of what he himself had miss- | | led. It is true that among the most popular pictures of King Edward as a small boy were those showing him in a sailor dress, and even something approaching the dress of a midship- | man, but as a matter of fact he never | served in the mavy or received any {| other nautical instruction than that i | he derived from the sailors when on {' | board the royal yacht. In 1878, when the time came for King Edward's sons, Prince Albert and Prince George, to join the navy, the training of cadets "was entirely .. carried out on board the old hulk Britannia, moored off Dartmouth. After nearly two years there, the princes embarked in the Bacchante, Captain Lord Charles Scott, which made prolonged cruises three years, including a voyage around the world. After their return Prince: Al- bert, who was not intended to follow the naval career, left the service for Cambridge University, but his young- er brother was appointed a midship- man of the Canada, corvette, in which he visited Canada in 1883 In the following year he became a sub- lieutenant and underwent courses of instruction at Greenwich and Ports- mouth, and, having passed the usual examinations with credit, he obtained | his lieutenant's commission on Octo- ber 8, 1885. The greater part of the .' next two years was spent on the Mediterranean station, first on the ! Thunderer, a little later on the ill Dreadnought, and afterward on the || Alexandra, which was then the flag- ship of the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg | | and Gotha, at that time better known | as the Duke of Edinburgh. His next | appointment was to the Northum- | berland, in the Channel, and then, in 1889, he received his first indepen- dent command, torpedo boat No. 79. It was while in command of .this | boat that Prince George had an op- portunity of displaying his profes- sional knowledge and the enthusiasm for which he was noted. While with another torpedo boat reconnoftring | ts off an Irish harbor, during manoeu- | vres, his consort broke down, and af- | ter a vain attempt to get her into har- bor because of the tow rope breaking Prince George returned fo his base | and reported the facts. Other ves- sels were there andl the prince had | been up all night, but so keen was his desire to finish the job that he himself obtained'a brand new hemp | hawser and went back to rescue his | friend, which he did, and towed him safely home. A flag officer present | {Said it was a smart piece of seaman- | ship, which would have done credit to an officer with a far wider ex- | perience of such work than the prince | had then enjoyed. t A further exhibition of his close | working knowledge of the navy was afforded when he received command of the gunboat Thrush at the age of | twenty-five, and after nearly thirteen | - ---- years' service, Many stories are told | \ about the King at this period, all of | » which indicate his professional ea- | | pacity and his energy and knowledge | of handling men. It was after ase | | return home from his cruise in this | | little gunboat that he was promoted | to commander, on August 24, 1891. In the following year he commission- | ed the new cruiser Melampus, of | 3,400 tons, for service in the naval | | manoeuvres. This command, how- | | ever, lasted for only two months. | | The death of his elder brother, Prince | {| Albert, Duke of Clarence, had | brought him into the direct line of | | succession to the throme. After his | : marriage, in 1893, to his cousin, | Princess Mary of Teck, he only serv- | ed once afloat. This was In 1898, | when as a captain he commanded the | cruiser 'Chescent for a short period. He has, however, made frequent over- | seas voyages since that time, the chief of which were in the Ophir, to the | British overseas dominions, in 1901; | in the Indomitable, to Canada, in | 1908, and in the Medina, for the Dur- | . bar in India, in 1911-12. i Both in regard to his training and | | in his promotions King George close- ! ly followed the routine of the i He was thirty-five years old before | he became a rear-admiral, whereas | Sir David Beatty, for instance, was | thirty-eight. In the Britannia the | {King and his brother were treated like all other cadets, and later in the fleet he served in all the gradés be- | low flag rank and fulfilled every duty | required of the naval officer of his | time. It was owing to this judicious intoxicating beer they are asking for. | policy that the King became so keen- 'ly interested in his profession.
