Foot Troubles Ended BY OUR LONDON COBRESPONDANT We do not hold ourselves responsible for all the opinions expressed by the able writer of these notes . November , during the reign of King Edward VII . , was the chosen month for the visit of friendly royalties , and during their sojourn as His Majesty's guests there was sure to be a state luncheon at the Guildhall , with perhaps a baronetcy to follow for the presiding Lord Mayor . It had been intend- ed that Queen Wilhelmina of the Nether- lands and her German Consort should come amongst us this year . But , of course , the war has knocked all these friendly arrange ments on the head , and probably the next royal visit in state will be a combination of crowned heads and presidents such as our country has not witnessed since the famous and premature peace rejoicings a hundred years ago . When that happy event will be reached , no one is rash enough to prophesy Only , we all feel confident that in the end King George will receive the sovereigns of our Allies and M.

The alle- gorical chariots , with their pantomimic ap- purtenances , play but a secondary part . The occasion is taken rather to invest the march through " London Town " into West- minster with something of the spirit of the moment , and it is natural , therefore , that the City Fathers , whose commercial securi- ty is in the keeping of the soldiers and sailors of the Empire , should draw upon the numerous material just now within easy die- tance of the Guildhall .
