only a small crowd, the public be-
ing practically assured by Friday
evenings reports that everything
was going well. Yet, to use the
words of the Westminster Gazette.
the bulletin was full of intense re-
-7hef. The underlying suspicion that
the doctors might fear more than

lack of definite unofficial news all
combined to create intense nervous
ness. Such hopeful statements as
