LONDON, November l9.-Dowager
Queen Alexandra, mother of King
George, is critically i'll from heart
attack, it is officially announced.
The Queen, whose eighty-tirst
birthday falls on December 1, suf-
fered the attack this morning. The
statement issued from her home, San
dringham Castle, this afternoon
reads:

King George and Queen Mary are
at Sandringham, where they have
been staying at York Cottage since
last Saturday. 1t is recalled that
Alexandra was reported late in June
to have developed heart trouble and
that rumor of her death was circu-
lated in London on October Is. The

Queen, AleXandra's strength has
been failing for a long time and for a
considerable period she has been liv-
ing in the quiet part Of Sandringham.
While able on most days to take little
rides in the country, her health has
been so poor that she has been forced
to abandon her visits to London.
More than a year ago 1t was an
nounced that she would not appear at
any further public functions, and last
to appear on Alexandra rose day,
which has long been a feature of her
life.
People Expected.
The Queen mother has had constant
visits from members of the royal
family in her retirement. One of the
first acts of the Prince of Wales upon
his return from South America was
to visit his grandmother, with whom
he has been great favorite.
AS far as is known officially, the
presence of the King and Queen Mary
at Sandringham today had nothing to
do with any anticipated crisis, but is
one of their customary visits.
This afternoons announcement by
the Queen mothers physician was the
first intimation the public had that
the aged Queen was not in her usual
health. AS the evening papers con-
tanning the news appeared on the
streets great crowds rushed to buy
them, for no woman of the royal fam
lily in the history Of England has had
a firmer place in the hearts of the
whole people than Alexandra.
