was called into consultation today
by the two physicians who have
been treating King George, and
after lengthy study of the case, a
bulletin was issued which implied
that the king was not yet out of
danger.
Sir Humphrey Rolleston was
called to Buckingham palace to re-
view the kings condition with Sir
Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson
of Penn, who have been attending
his majesty.
After two-hour conference with
Rolleston, Sir Stanley and Lord
Dawson issued the following bulle-
tin:
"The Inflammation of the lung
and pleura sho wsome improvement
and the temperature is on slightly
lower level.
1T must be noted that the time
of possible exacerbation of the in
fection is not yet passed and in any
case progress must be SLOW"
Possibility of Relapse
A high authority at Buckingham
palace told the press:
while there is a slight but dis
tinct improvement in the condition
of the king, today'S bulletin makes
it clear that the possibility of set
back must not yet be ignored"
1t was said at the palace that
Rolleston was not summoned be-
cause the king was worse, but be-
cause Hewett and Lord Dawson
considered that the time had ar
rived when review of the whole
case was desirable and that they
wanted third opinion.
It was understood that the three
doctors went over all the records
of the kings case, carefully exam
lining the temperature charts and
otoher data, including X-rayS and
the results of the meteorological ex-
animation made last week.
Every detail of the case was con-
sidered carefully, not only regard
ing the kings present condition, but
his future prospects and the man
ner of treatment.
Crowd Alarmed
The crowd at the palace gates be-
came alarmed at the long delay in
issuing the bulletin beyond the usual
hour at which it has been custom
ary to post the morning announce
ment.
The crowd, which had numbered
only a few hundreds at mid-morn-
ing, grew to a thousand at the II
a. m. guard mount, and was in
creased at the lunch hours by Ia
borers, Office workers and school
children.
The queen, with Princess Mary
and the Duchess of York went
motoring this afternoon. 1t was
significant that the crowds, which
hitherto have expressed. silent SYM
pathy on the appearance of the
queen, relaxed its tension and
cheered her majesty.
WaIes'SaiIs Soon
The admiralty announced today
that it was practically decided"
that the Prince of Wales would dis
embark from the cruiser Enterprise
at Suez and proceed to Alexandria,
Egypt, by train.
The admiralty announcement said
that the prince would board an
other warship at Alexandria, prob
ably the Frobisher, and proceed
either to Brindisi or Naples.
The train trip from Suez to Alex
andria would eliminate slow trip
through the Suez canal and save
many hours on the princes journey
to London.
The prince left Dar-Es- -Salaam
today for Zanzibar aboard the gov
t, ernment yacht Azania. He will re-
turn Saturday.
He will embark on the fast naval
. on its arrival at Dar- -Salaam
Z Saturday night or Sunday morning.
Duke Not to Return
r The Enterprise is making all
speed to reach this port Saturday
night, but it may not arrive until
Sunday morning.
The prince has been cheered con-
siderably by favorable reports of
King Georges condition, it was said
1t was announced that the Duke
of Gloucester, third son of King
George, would continue his hunting
tour. The Duke of Gloucester is on
a canoe trip up the Chambesi river
and earlier reports said he would
return to England.
