LONDON, Dec, IL (I.N.S.).
The pall Of gloom which had
hung over England during the

somewhat today when : more

by the royal physicians.
The bulletin indicated that MS
Majesty had had fair night and
was maintaining his strength. d.
though his temperature remained
high.
The text OF the bulletin follows:
His Majesty had several hours
Of sleep during the night. His ten1-
perature remains high, but there ID

strength"
The bulletin was signed BY Sir
Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson
- -
A huge crowd which had gath.
cred before the palace was visibly
elated. The reference to the Kings
continued retention of his strength
was regarded as especially hopeful.
Yesterdays bulletins had indicated J
that his powers of resistance were
beginning to wane as the result OF
his long battle against death. -
Gloom pervaded the entire ma
ton yesterday. Little cheer was
found in the official bulletin Of
the attending physicians which
stressed the fact the Kings heart
was in a weakened condition owing
to- the long battle he has waged
against the ravages Of pneumonia.
1t is generally felt that the next
two or three days are likely to be
critical.
