22 SEPTEMBER 1917, Page 3

The King has spent four busy days this weak on

the Clyde, visiting the shipyards, factories, and munition works between Greenock and Glasgow, and the great steelworks in Lanarkshire. On Tuesday, on a Glasgow football ground, he held an investiture and presented medals. The men and women employed in the shipyards and else- where did not make holiday, as is usual at a Royal visit in peace time, but went on with their work, and gave the King a very hearty welcome as he passed among them. The work that is being done on Clydeside is indeed as much a part of the war against Germany as the operations in Flanders, and the King showe I his usual good sense in making We informal review of the war industries which are bringing victory nearer and defeating the enemy's efforts to starve us out.
