reliable information indicates that
King Edwards doctors were not mis-

semblance of probability which made
even the members of the cabinet ner
vous lest another postponement Of ths
coronation might be necessitated.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain
OF the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted tc
use his feet. and, with the aid OF s
stick. has done little walking. An
Other late telegram from Cowes. Isle

restrictions upon the kings diet have
been withdrawn, has been welcomed
as evidence that the recent ominous
deductions were drawn without due
allowance for the doctors extreme eau
