ing Association today, said:
Il am glad TO be able to tell yol
there is a slight improvement in TIT
Kings condition this morning"
Some of you will know what pleurisy
is and how depressing it can be-" con-
tinued the Kings second son. There
are two things to be remembered From
the nature of the illness progress must
be slow. and there must be ups anC
downs, but progress has been made"
The announcement was received with
prolonged cheering.
Pessimistic View Taken.
A peSSlmlStlc view OF the Kings con
dition expressed by the Daily Mail to
day did not appear to be shared by tn
other morning papers. The Mail print
ed this comment on the Kings condi
tion:
we regret to state that hopes enter
tanned two days ago have not been full
filled and that up to the present Their
has been no progress toward recovery
IL is realized that the King is engaget
in hard uphill fight and that his con
Stitution Is being put to severe test
@1he general Infection persists and
in tile most favorable circumstances
: The battle must be of q prolonged ant
aflxiollS nature. The condition of an,
one at the age of the King go years
suffering from such an illness mus
be considered serious"
It was generally expected by medica
men that the crisis in the Kings i'll
ness might be reached about tomorrow
or Thursday and until then no deflniti
opinion could be formed.
Some of the details concerning tn,
X-ray examination of the King on No
vember % became known today. 4
portable apparatus was used by DR.. H
Graham Hodgson of Kings Colleg
sHGspital, who conducted the eXamina
tfon and made successful photographs
DEVELOPMENT of these was carried ou
in a Red Cross car adapted to the pur
pose. BY this means it was poSsibl
TO produce the photographs in the re
rnarkably short time of two hours afte
aias summons to the palace.
