KING'S EMPLOYES TO COLORS


George V. Orders All Unmarried Men on Staff to Join Army.

Special Cable to The New York Times.

LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 22—The Times understands that the King has given orders that every unmarried man of military age in his household establishments at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral, and Sandringham, no matter of what nature his employment, is to report himself to the military authorities for service with the colors.

From the outset of the war, adds The Times, the King set an example where military service was concerned. When war was declared he allowed as many men as could then be spared to go to the front, continuing their full pay.
