lace at eleven O'Clock this morning. The
King has had three hours and a quarter
sleep since issuing the last bulletin. His
temperature is now 1913 and there is a
slight improvement in his condition"
The customary evening bulletin, signed
by Sir Stanley HeWett and Lord Daw-
son, was issued shortly before nine O.
clock last night. 1t stated His Majesty
had had a quIeter sleep during the day,
that the effective process had continued
to diminish, and his temperature was
100. 1t added that at the same time
there was a decline 10 the strength of
the heart which caused anxiety. A fur
tber bulletin was issued shortly after
midnight, signed not only by Sir Stanley
Hewett and Lord Dawson, but also by
Sir Edward Farquhar Buzzard, Profes.
sOr of Medicine at Oxford University and
Physician Extraordinary to the King,
and Doctor Lionel Whitby of the Bland
Sutton Institute of Pathology, Middle.
sex Hospital. 1t was DR.. Whitby who
was called ia ten days ago, to make a
archaeological examination, when the
Kings illness was being diagnosed. The
bulletin stated. His Majesty the King
has had some sleep during the last three
hours. A further consultation confirms
the opinion expressed in the last bulletin
and in spite Of the improvement in the
lung, anxiety concerning the strength
of the heart persists HeWett and DaW.
son remained at Buckingham Palace until

small quantities Of oxygen were admins
tered to the King during the night as a
tonic. This is the common practice in
such cases and it is stated, should not
be regarded as an alarming feature of
the Kings illness. 1t was designed as
a measure to ease the strain on the
Kings heart. Improvement in the effec-
tive process in the lung is a favourable
sympton, which, it is hoped, may be set
against the strain which the heart is
undergoing. The news Of the reduction
in temperature and the slight improve

three hours sleep. reported in this morn

the public anxiety which yesterdays

 The daily routine of President Coolidge at Cedar Island Lodge promises 10 he very similar to that followed all last summer in South Dakota Superior will take the place of Rapid City to which Mir. Coolidge will have to motor when- ever any business is to be transact cd.
