ILLNESS OF

Slight Congestion in

Cold, They Assert.
VAST EMPIRE WORRIES
BY KEITH JONES
United Press Staf Correspondent

LONDON. Nov. % Anxiety
gripped millions of Britons in vast
empire today because a gray
bearded man lay i'll of cold in o
big stone mansion in London.
The man was George v, King.
His cold, court physicians say
merely was one such as many oil
these subjects had experienced, YET
since he was monarch bis case
seemed different.
About noon, Lord Dawson of Penn,
physician extraordinary to the king
and Sir Stanley Hewett, surgeon
apothecary to the king. issued d
bulletin indicating The kings illness
had taken turn for the worse.
The trend of the kings condition
was described as slight extension
of the mischief in the kings lungs"
Congestion in Lungs
The two physicians visited the
king at Buckingham Palace Thurs
day night and made meteorological
Investigations which were described
as "habitual in all cases of microbic
infection"
Both returned to the palace about
10 a. m. and after an examination
issued their bulletin. 1t said:
THE king passed a restless night,
his temperature remaining at 101.
There was slight extension of the
mischief in the lungs. but his maj
esty's strength is being maintained. "
The Duke of York, second son of
the king, returned to London today
from Northampton to be near the
bedside of his father.
Although Spokesmen and palace
retainers were quick to assure the
public that his majesty's condition
was not causing the royal house
hold the slightest alarm. there was
a current of anxiety noticeable and
an unusually large crowd was
gathered about Buckingham palace
waiting for the latest bulletins on
King Georges condition.
Physician Is Quoted
The Daily Telegraph said today
IL understood that the kings lung
congestion was very slight, and that
although the fever was persistent
reinsurance might be felt in the fact
that it had not been high.
The publication quoted a west end
physician who discussed the bulle-
tins on the kings condition:
"There is nothing about the kings
condition to cause grave anxiety be-
yond that which naturally would be
felt for our beloved monarch" the
physician said. 1T probably will
be ten days before the king will be
able to leave his bed, and it will
take a week more for the fever to
subside.
There is no reason why his ill
ness should not run straight course
ending in the kings complete re-
covery." 'tr
When a fresh guard was mounted
in all its trappings at the palace at
II a. m. the bright music Of its band
was lacking.
