BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December SIT was un-
6erstood in Buckingham Palace circles
this afternoon that King Georges con-
dition was unchanged.
Lord Dawson of Penn returned to
Buckingham Palace shortly after 2
O'Clock this afternoon to join his COL
league, Sir Stanley Hewett, in con-
sultation concerning the Kings condi-
ton. 1t was stated, however, that an
afternoon bulletin was not expected to
be issued today, as was done yesterday
Lord Lawson remained at Bucking-
ham Palace about an hour. The Queen
and Princess Mary, soon after the doc
tors visit, went out for their usual
afternoon motor ride.
Report Regarded Favorably.
In palace quarters the physicians
morning report was regarded favorably
It was said that a recrudeScence OF the
infection which caused yesterdays rise
in temperature was considered as part
of the ordinary course of the Kings
illness and as such had been expected
by his doctors.
The fact that his majesty was able
to obtain more rest again during the
night was regarded as a favorable sign.
There was nothing specific in the
morning bulletin regarding the kings
temperature Nor was anything SAID
as to how his heart was reacting to the
long strain of illness, which, it had been
strongly reiterated recently, was the
vital point upon which the Kings
chances of recovery from his grave Ill
ness rested.
Morning Bulletin.
The bulletin was signed by Sir Stan
and read:
sThe King has passed fair night.
There are reasons to hope that the re-
erudescence of the infection which caus-
ed the last rise of temperature Is be-
ing moderated"
There was a feeling of relief this
morning among those who scanned tIle
official bulletin board outside OF Buck
inpham Palace. The throng this morn
ing was able to read easily the WORDS
Of the medical statement in large block
letters when it was posted on Larger
bulletin board about IL o'clock after the
doctors had their morning consultation.
Cloudy skies and raw atmosphere
side the palace Throughout the night
knots of people had fingered in the
neighborhood of the royal residence. AS
late as am. line of taxicabs and au-
tornobiles whose occupants had come
for tidings of the condition Of his mai
esty stretched the whole length OF the
pavement in front Of the palace.
VioIets for King and Queen.
One. touching incident during the
morning was the arrival at the gate
of the palace of a young woman ac-
companied by little girl. Each carried
a bunch of violets, one of which was
labeled "for the king" and the other
'for the queen" An officer of the gate
received the floral tributes and passed
them on into the palace. There was
nothing on the labels to identify the
donors
Letters patent under the great seal
in connection with yesterdays appoint
ment of six counselorS of state have
been sealed and today Queen Mary,
the Duke of York and Premier Baldwin,
members of the commission, signed
various documents which had accumu-
lated during King Georges illness.
Plans of Prince Uncertain.
There was still uncertainty here
about the plans of the Prince OF Wales
for the later stages of his hurried jour-
ney home. The cruiser Enterprise
brought him into Alden today and was
to sail again this evening for Suez.
From that point the princes route will
be determined probably by circum-
stances which may arise from day to
day.
Some advices from Egypt made it ap-
pear likely that he would leave the En-
terprise at Suez, rejoining her at Port
Said and voyaging to Alexandria. A
message from Malta, headquarters OF
the British Mediterranean fleet, lndl-
Gated the probability that the Enter
prise would bring the Prince all the
way to Brindisi, Italy An earlier plan
called for the use of the cruiser Frobish-
er between Alexandria and the Italian
port.
The Enterprise was making fine time
and was expected to arrive at Suez
Friday night instead of on Saturday OF
Sunday, as had been estimated.
Once on European soil, the Prince
probably will travel overland by spe-
cial train to Channel port, probably
either to Calais or Boulogne. A Brit
ish destroyer has been ordered in readi-
ness at each of the places to convey
the prince to Dover, where another
special train will await him for his final
dash to London.
