The trail of deaths and narrow es-

nesses. When his recent illness set in Sir
Thomas Barlow was hurriedly called in
and, as an evidence of the seriousness of
the case, Sir Francis Laking was imme-
diately afterwards summoned in consulta-
ton. After a thorough examination an
immediate change of climate was impera-
lively insisted upon by the two famous
doctors. Hurried orders were sent out,
Geographic messages were dispatched over
the greater part of England and the king
was bundled off to Brighton. Tn long
string of social engagements which, as
usual. were down on the kings books were
cancelled with regrets.
Danger Temporarily over.
Under the finest medical care in the
world and the fine bracing air of Brighton,
the Atlantic City of England, the danger
of the kings health temporarily passed.
So punctilious is his majesty in the mat
ter of his social engagements that he in
sisted upon resuming them as soon as pos
sible. This resulted in a relapse in his ILL
ness. He had arranged to spend a short
time at the country seat of Lord Burton
and, as he had several times been hindered
from paying expected visits to the brewery
peer, he insisted upon coming up from
Brighton and making all arrangements for
keeping his latest promise. But the set
back to his cure became so alarming that
eventually, at the eleventh hour the royal
visit was called off and the king was again
bundled off TO Brighton.
One of the most conclusive evidences OF
the kings impaired health is the fact that
some Of his official duties have been lifted
from his shoulders and deposited on those
of the prince Of Wales. Aside from his
constant round Of social duties, the king is
not a busy man, despite all the nonsense
which may have been written in the Eng
lish press. Yet It was felt that the daily
round OF routine work was a strain on his
majesty and. so far as has been possible
that work has been taken over by the
future king.

LONDON, Jan. s.-(Special.)-England is
just recovering from one of the greatest
scares of recent years. Although every
effort has been made TO conceal the real
facts from the general public, It has be-
come known that King Edward is slowly
recovering from al extremely serious
breakdown. His recent ''indisposition' was
officially referred TO as a cold" but the
press, which was in possession of the real

ample indication of the real seriousness Of
the kings illness by devoting columns OF
space to the subject. To the unintated
such a display of alarm over a mere cough
appeared ridiculous, but in the peculiar
conditions which surround and hamper
newspaper work in this country II was the
only method of conveying news that could
not be stated in plain terms.
Steady Weakening of System.
The medical advisers OF King Edward
have for some time past spent many sleep
less night over his state of health. There
has been a gradual but steady weakening
OF the system. and It is the generally ac-
cepted opinion that he would not be able
to shake off any of the more serious dis
eases to which kingly flesh, in common
with that Of the rest of humanity. is heir
to. To add to the medical anxiety neuros s
