REPORT KING
is IMPROVING
! temperature Lower;
Infection Recom-
ing Localized

LONDON, Dec. 6.-(F)-The state.
ment that King Georges general con.
dttion was slowly improving. made
IN the official morning bulletin
from his physicians, was the most
welcome announcement that has.
come from Buckingham Palace since
his majesty's illness became critical
a few days ago. 1t served to cheer
greatly the hearts Of his loyal SUBJ
jects who have been waiting with
tense anxiety for some such word
that would indicate a turn for the
better.
The medical bulletin signed, by
Lord Dawson Of Penn and Sir Stan
ley Hewett. said:
The king has passed a fair night
n his temperature this morning is
lower. The general condition is
slowly improving and the infective
process, which remains severe ID be-
coming more localized"
IL would probably seem uRwise 10
interpret too enthusiastically the
words of the bulletin Tor the king
has now been III for II days and is
granted to be still n very sick man.
Also IL could hardly be thought that
the chances for another turn for the
worst have been eliminated.
In some sections of the press. this
morning there was a disposition TO
call for more precise bulletins. This
plea for fuller information with re-
gard to the kings illness. led the
medical correspondent Of the Daily
Telegram TO say that up 10 now
there had been no authoritative.
clean-cut statement with regard 10
what his majesty a suffering
from.
The strain or the ~risis through
which the king has been passing.
has fallen most heavily upon three
anxious women at the palace.
Queen Mary, as one Of the six
seunsellors of state. was called upon
to sign a huge bulk of official doc
unsnts that have accumulated dur
ing her husbands illness. She did
not relax her duties as mistress or
the palace and was a constant visi-
tor 10 the sick room where her ha-
bitual ehecrfulness was understood
10 have been a great help TO the king
in his struggle for recovery.
Princess Mary and the Duchess Of
York spend hours az the palace daily
sharing with each other the multi
tude of duties connected with the
great household and relieving the
queen Of countless personal tasks
such as answering her private tele-
phone, and responding To her private
letters.
Great public interest has been
shown in the homcward journey of
the Prince Of Wales. Arrangements
have been made 70 hasten his arrival
in London and IL is estimated that
he will reach here about , 2. ~.
