Unusual Activity
Spreads Fear OF
Turn for Worse

II LONDON. Dec. .-CFl-Unusual
ctivities OF the doctors about King
I;heorge's sick room late this after
lhoon occasioned keen interest not
1.onmixed with anxiety for possible
Few and unfavorable developments
. IN the royal patients condition.
Two new physicians were called
I into consultation at Buckingham
Palace this afternoon. They were
with Lord Dawson Of Penn and Sir
Stanley Hewett, King Georges regu-
lar doctors. for about an hour and
left the palace shortly after 5~a6
o'clock this evening.
The two new physicians were un-
derstood to be DIR. William Aiding
ton Hewitt and DR.. Robert Stonton
Woods both members of the Royal
College of Surgeons. IL was the
first time they had attended a con-
sultation.
The customary authoritative state
ment of the kings condition which
has been available recently during
the afternoon, was omitted today.
Lord Dawson Of Penn returned to
Buckingham Palace shortly after 9
long consultation with Sir Stanley
Hewett. He left soon after o'clock.
The Prince of Wales left the pal
ace shortly before Lord Dawson.
Queen Mary did not take her Gus
tomary drive this afternoon.
To conserve the patients strength
for the long and difficult struggle
which he must make IL he is TO get
well, everything to which the king
ordinarily gives attention has been
kept from him. He was not in
formed of President Coolidge's mes
sage. Nor has he been told any
thing of the progress Of the inter-
national cricket matches in Australia
reports of which are being followed
by the public with an interest the
intensity of which is comparable
only TO that shown in the kings ILL
ness. Ordinarily the king keeps tab
on such matches with the same
keenness that presidents Of the
United States often reveal toward
the world series.
The two cricket teams sent mes
sages of sympathy to Queen Mary
from Australia. Her secretary re
queen to thank you all for your
message Of sympathy and good
wishes for the recovery Of his maj
esty. The king will much appre-
ciate your kind thoughts Of him and
when he is sufficiently recovered
will certainly inquire all about the
matches"
The Prince OF Wales has buckled
down with steady seriousness TO the
task of carrying out much Of his
fathers work. Foreign diplomats
now make their calls upon him, and
the premier ard other members Of
the cabinet 60 to him with the re-
ports and advice that they ordinar-
ily present TO the king.
Ramsay Macdonald. former labor
prime minister, said in speech:
sThere is not a member Of the old
labor cabinet but joins my prayer !
that successive bulletins will show
that the king is advancing TO COM
plete health and strength.
"Those Of us who had the great |
pleasure of knowing his personally. |
feel mt the moment when he is walk |
ing through very deep shadows how |
extraordinarily WELL how absolutely |
impartially he has always done his |
work rs a constitutional monarch |
and how. in doing il. he has knit
us TO him, not as an official, but |
aS the great, dignified form of the |
hand of the state, but as one who I
belongs 70 his nation. who has tried |
all his life, in all his actions, 20 |
carry ont n national responsibility Il
and advance national interest"
