THE KING'S MESSAGE.
London, Aug. 18. The King telegraphed the following message to the troops, which was read to each regiment before embarkation : “Your first duty is to secure the safety and uphold the honour of the Empire. I have implicit confidence and know you will do your duty nobly, I pray God to bless and guard you and bring you back victorious. “Belgium, which we are pledged to defend, has been attacked, and France is about to be invaded by the same powerful foe. Duty must be your watchword. I will follow your every movement with the deepest interest, and mark with eager satisfaction your daily progress and your welfare will never be absent from my thoughts.
