THE KING AT THE FRONT.
GREETED BY EMPIRE REPRESENTATIVES. DEMONSTRATIONS OF LOYALTY. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Caoie Association. Loudon, Ang. 17. MrPbilJip Gibbs writes: The King witnessed a considerable bombardment on the Ypres salient. There was a great scene of enthusiasm when His Majesty visited the South Africans, who broke into a Zulu war cry, a wild barbaric noise. The King was stirred by the tremendous demonstration of loyalty which swept about him. The King spoke of Delville Wood and thanked them for what they had done and suffered. The King decorated the Queen of the Belgians with the Royal Red Cross and paid a tribute to her devotion to the wounded. His Majesty reviewed the reconstituted Belgian Army. ■ New Zealanders and Canadians also gave the King a great ovation.
