was operated on successfully today.
The surgeons found no trace of tn
NOR, the presence of which in lin
testines has been feared. His ma
jesty's trouble was due to a simple
obstruction. He is resting quietly
today.
Leopold was under the effects of
chloroform for forty minutes When
this passed, he asked the surgeons
for details of the operation. They
replied that they haC discovered
neither tumor or abscess, but hao
removed an accumulation of matter
from the intestines. At these words
an expressionl of JOY lighted the fea-
lures of the aged monarch. The

biIity of fef developing
