Crowd Cheered King and Queen. LONDON, Aug. 3. â€"There was a. scene of great enthusiasm outside Buckingham Palace last night. A crowd of five or six thousand persons gathered before that place and sang the National Anthem and called for King George, who, with Queen Mary, appeared on a balcony and bowed in response to cheers given for His Ma- iesty. King George held a. Privy Council yesterday afternoon. According to The Press Association he signed a. proclamation authorizing the suspen- sion of specie payments. Mrs. J. P.

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London both spoke for peace yesterday. A number of Cam- bridge professors have issued a mani- festo deploring the possibility of war with Germany, while another mani- festo emanated from influential quar- ters quoting Premier Asquith’ recent statement that Great Britain had no understanding with France and Rus- sia which would compel her to join with them in war. The Socialists and a section of the labor union men are strong for peace. Peace meetings were held yesterday in Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park. The Times, in a special war edition yesterday, said that it is plain and acknowledged that the duty and in- terest of Britain, which consist in the support of France against Ger- many and the preservation of the neutrality of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg against German inva- sion, must be fulfilled. “There is no room for difference of opinion,” The Times continues. “The prospect before the Government is that of having to fight not only for its honor, but for self-preservation against attack on the whole founda- tion on which the peace and civiliza- tion of Europe are based.” The Government has assumed con- trol of all wireless transmission. A spec1a1 Gazette announces this [act and says that the Government in the present emergency has taken over control of wireless telegraphy, and that the use of wireless by foreign vessels while in British territory wat- ers will be subject to such rules as may be made by the Admiralty. A number of processions were ormed late last nigdt and paraded he streets, singing and cheering. IF TORMENTEb WITH coaxs .v (Special to The Post PAGE FIVE dis- is Mr.
