Upon one occasion during the audi

Whitelaw Reid, American ambassa-

that the king then looked we'll, but

the kings throat was affected prev

contra ctions Of the vocal cords which
were rather alarming. In his mai

strain such spasms put upon the blood

Great Britain Faces Crisis.
Prospect of the death or long ill
ness of the sovereign confronts the
country at the worst possible time in
years. From political and other points
of view such an outcome would be par
ticularly disastrous. The greatest con-
stitutional crisis in generations hangs
over Great Britain. King Edward is
familiar with all the features of the
situation which would be particularly
trying to his successor, who upon the
Threshold of his reign would be called
upon to deal with the question of en-
ploying the authority OF the crown to
curb the power Of the peers.
From a social and business viewpoint
the monarch's demise would be equally
unfortunate. The social season, when
families are foclking from the country
to London and merchants are counting
upon a big business. is just beginning
and was expected this year to be the
most brilliant of many seasons. The
kings death would throw the court and
country into mourning and end the So
cial activities.
Death Would Cancel Roosevelt Visit.
Ineidently the Roosevelt visit, which
all England has anticipated as an
unique event, might be cancelled or at
least made extremely quiet.
The kings age and corpulence and
his well-known weakness of heart
which has caused occasional attacks
reembling vertigo during the past two
or three years. and which were attrib-
uted chiefly to the constant smoking
Of strong cigars, all have served to
weaken his power of resistance to dis
ease King Edwards first serious at
tack Of bronchial trouble, and which
was accompanied with symptoms OF
asthma, was experienced a year ago.
Since that time his majesty has suf-
fered several occurrences Of the NAL
ady, including one during his recent
visit at Biarritz. Each attack proved
worse than the preceding one and more
difficult to conquer. The present Ill
ness came suddenly and without warn
