ROYAL EDITORIAL OFFICES

Most people are aware of the multitudinous duties of King Goor'ie, but it is not generally known that there 's a department in each of the Royal residents which approximates to the newsroom of a daily paper. Here newspaper items from the great journals of the world are "cut" by newspaper men; news dealing with the higher spheres of politics, foreign affairs, and a myriad of other topics, aJ'ke of interest to the King and li s responsilbe advisers. His ...iviesty is a keen man of affairs, and probably the best informed monarch in the world . Even when on a spec'al journey, his newspapers are set out on the table in his saloon carriage for lvs perusal, and the morning news finds 110 more omnivorous reader. In the Royal workrooms cuttings and references are carefully pre~er\ed in special book-, and indexed for future reference. King George s oditoti-.il offices. as we may call them, r.re the best organised of all. though those of the Kaiser, at Potsdam, nun them very close. _ t . Nowadavs, however, every Court ha* an intelligence department attached-, and it' multifarious dut es peovulo plenty of work for Royal messengers and other members of the condcnt al staffs.
