The King and Queen left London on Tuesday on a
visit to the President of the French Republic. The fact that Sir Edward Grey accompanied them proved that the visit was in part political. Happily it is now possible to talk of politico to our political friends without exciting immediate suspicion and annoyance in Germany. It is worth mentioning as a sign of our times that while the King and Queen were crossing the Channel in the Royal yacht Alexandra' a cinematograph was being worked overhead in an aeroplane. On arriving in Paris the King and Queen had a magnificent reception. The pleasure which they obviously took in the cordiality of the French people reacted on the crowds, and the Times corre- spondent says that the excitement will not easily be forgotten The King and Queen stayed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the Quai d'Orsay.
