GERMAN CROWN PRINCE

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Crown Prince Fred.
erick William is confined to his room
with what probably is an attack of
influenza. It is denied that he has con-
tracted pneumonia from his brother,
Prince Eitel Friedrich.
Physicians of Prince Eitel Friedrich,
second son of Emperor William, who
is at Potsdam suffering from pneu-
monia, issued the following bulletin at
10 am:
ellis royal highness had a fairly
good night. He slept for some time
and did not cough much. The lower
lobe of the left lung is now entirely
affected; the distress in breathing is
not extreme; the pulse is rapid tho
strong; temperature 1929; appetite
somewhat better; complains of pains
in the side; is perfectly conscious
The empress spent the forenoon with
her son. His condition gives the fam
lily much concern, but there is nothing
to indicate that the attack of pneumo-
MIA is not taking the normal course.

PROF. BARBOUR AT LINCOLN

Prof. Barbour, head of the geolOg-

ing found in paying quantities. The

ity of finding either coal, oil or gas or

enough, he declared, to warrant ex,
