LONDON, December IA slight rise
In King Georges feverish condition was
announced in the medical bulletin issued
at buckingham Palace this morning.
The nation had been hoping that his
majesty would make a steady, although
necessarily slow, progress toward recov-
cry. The knowledge that his fever was
higher. if only slightly, gave tinge of
uneasiness to public feeling.
The King was stated to have passed
q fairly comfortable night, however, and
his doctors announced that there was
no change in his general condition, in
which some improvement was an
nounced yesterday.
Physicians at Palace.
Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir STAN
ley Hewett, the Kings physicians, were
at the palace nearly two hours this
morning, leaving shortly after their
bulletin had been posted. This read
as follows:
IN spite of his majesty having passed
q fair night, there has been slight
rise in temperature since yesterday.
The general condition remains I'm
changed"
Because of yesterdays more favor
able reports on his majeSty's condition,
there was a falling of in the number
of visitors through the palace gates
during the night and comparatively
small gathering was present when the
doctors bulletin was hung on the rail-
ings this morning. The early crowd
was succeeded, however, by a steady
stream of people anxious for the lat
est news.
Change Was Expected.
It was indicated after this mornings
bulletin that its less satisfactory tone
was not entirely unexpected by the
Kings doctors. At the palace it was
authoritatively stated that the Kings
condition bore out the statement in yes
terdays bulletin that the possibility Of
exacerbation was not yet over and SO
long as this exiSsS 1ale illsysieians are
prepared for little sbb and flow in the
illness. The rise in temperature today
was one of the possibilities for which
they have been prepared.
Palace officials indicated that they
did not regard this mornings bulletin as
6AdA A141S oA11OC OA4C 1AA4AS . ECAC4G4 NO4AAA4-
tion remained unchanged.
Prayers for King Asked.
Queen Mary left the palace twice
yesterday, once spending nearly three
hours in private visits. A call for
prayers for the speedy recovery of the
King was made by the new Archbishop
of Canterbury in his first public letter,
which was addressed to the Bishop of
London. He urged the prayers be
offered not only tomorrow but until all
cause for anxiety had been removed.
The Prince of Wales is not expected
TO arrive in England earlier than De-
cember 13 even by following the tenta-.
tive plan outlined by the admiralty and
taking the fastest route across Europe.
The admiralty announced the prince
had practically decided to leave the fast
cruiser Enterprise at SueZ and then
proceed by train to Alexandria. There
he would embark on another British
warship, probably the ProbiSher, for
either Brindisi, Naples or Marseille.
The prince, who has been awaiting
the arrival of the Enterprise at Dar-es-
Salaam, Tanganyika, East Africa, left
there to make trip to Zanzibar, but he
was expected to return to the Tangan-
yika port today. He would embark on
the Enterprise tomorrow.
