LONDON, Nov. 26.-Concern over
King Georges illness grew today.
The king had a disturbed day
Sunday and was restless Sunday
night, his physicians announced in
official bulletins.
While his doctors did not express
concern aside from the seemingly
unfavorable tone of the two latest
bulletins, the public noted that the
reassuring reports of favorable
progress made on Saturday were
absent.
The kings fever, which had
abated on Saturday, increased on
Sunday, but his phypsicians said
that fluctuating fever and spread
of the pleurisy must be expected
at this stage of his illness.
TodayS IL a. m. bulletin said:
'The king passed a restless night.
A variability in the fever and spread
of the pleurisy must be expected at
this stage Of the illness.
Sunday nights bulletin said
THE king had a disturbed day
due to an increase in his fever.
His strength was maintained.
Secretary Pays Visit
After leaving the sickroom and
before issuing today's bulletin, the
doctors remained for some time in
the palace, talking with members
Of the household. It was under
stood that they also talked with Sir
William Joynson-Hicks, home Sec
retary, before issuing the bulletin.
Sir William came to the palace
during the morning.
The increased anxiety of the pub
lie was manifested by the growing
crowd before Buckingham palace,
in spite of the weather and the in
creasing stream of callers.
Shortly before 2 p. m. a copy of
the morning bulletin was posted on
the Railing in the front court of the
palace, for the first time since the
king became i'll.
The action was believed to be in
tended to forestall the stream of
questions directed at the palace
sentries by the crowd.
Shortly after p. m. the Duke Of
York, second son Of the king, mo-
tored to the palace with the duchess
from their Piccadilly residence.
They had lunch with the queen
and Princes Mary.
Has Restless Night
The queen, with Princess Mary
and the Duchess of York, left Buck
ingham palace shortly before 8 p. m.
for an automobile ride. The queen
smilingly acknowledged the raised
hats of the men and the bows of
the women among the large crowd
at the gates.
Members of the palace house.
hold, discussing the morning bull
letin, spoke of the "ebb and flow
of the illness, from which observ-
erS deduced that the existing un-
favorable condition perhaps was re-
garded as temporary, and that the
kings doctors were not perturbed
by the course the illness had taken.
The kings restless night was
attributed to his increase in tenn
perature Sunday.
The extent of the kings fever
was not made public. The Daily
Express understood it was "over 100
degrees" The United Press was
informed reliably that it did not
exceed 101.
About 1000 persons were before
the palace gates. They came and
went, but the number remained
about the same.
Every class of society was repre-
sented, with men outnumbering the
women.
The crowd was somewhat reas-
sured when the usual light airs were
played by the military bands at the
IL a. m. guard mount.
