Death of King Frederick VIII

The Danish nation, as well as several courts of Europe, has been thrown into mourning through the death of King Frederick VIII. This monarch ascended the throne on the death of his father, Jan. 29, 1906. He was noted for his simplicity and was greatly beloved by his subjects. He is brother to the king of Greece, father to the ruler of Norway, and brother to the empress of Russia. He is succeeded by his son, who was proclaimed king under the name of Christian X, the people mingling their joy at the accession of the new king with their sorrow for the one who had passed away.
