Fleet Street K Reluctantly Forced to Conclusion That Royal Patient is in Critical Condition After Three Weeks' Illness.
Bulletins From Bucking. ham Palace Fail to Give Public Much Information Concerning. Monarch - Nation Thinks Ruler in "Grave" State.

London, Dec. 10 H-England this evening was waiting with tense anxiety for further official bulletins concerning the progress of King George.
 Crisis Soon
 Fleet street. the great metropoli- tan newspaper center. and indeed the whole of the public have been reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the next two or three days will be critical ones for his majesty.
 Three weeks of grievous illness have SO undermined the kings re- cuperative power and 50 severely taxed his heart that his life un- doubtedly is in danger. This does not mean that an eventuality must necessarily be expected, but it does mean that 1t is distinctly possible.
 Little Information
 The official bulletins from Buck ingham palace have not given the public much information upon which to base an accurate opinion regarding the kings condition. However. use of the word anxiety in today's bulletin was interpreted as . distinct warning that . grave condition existed. The royal physi- clans, it ts felt, would never employ such phraseology except in an emergency.
 Whether the kings physicians have real hopes of his majesty's re- covery is not known. In accordance with custom they are restricting their views to themselves, those i'm mediately connected with the royal family and tho government Even the officials of Buckingham palace today were reluctant to discuss any phase of the situation.

Liner Has Hole Under En- zine Room and Lists Heavily-Accident Oc- CUTS When Pilot Unable to Board Ship in Gale.

Cobh. Ireland. Dec. 10 R- Part of the crew of the liner Celtic landed this afternoon. the master and officers remaining aboard to supervise efforts to retloat her as soon as the tide was high.
 All of the 253 passengers had previously been safely debarked from the liner which at 5:30 tonight remain firmly fxetd on a ledge of rocks at the en- trance of the harbor where she stranded early this morning.
 At that hour no effort had been made to refioat the ship and the probability of saving the vessel was said to be very doubt full.
 Sixteen feet of water were ment.
 Officials of the White Star line and insurance officials will visit the ship tomorrow, coming from Liverpool.
 Cobh, (Queenstown) Ireland, Dec. 10 R-The White Star liner Celtic, which left New York on December ], with 253 passengers. ran on the rocks off Roches Point at the en- trance of the harbor early today and at low tide was held fast in 15 feet of water with the possibility that she might break up if she did not get off on the next tide. All Of the passengers were rescued. being debarked safely in tenders despite rough water around the stranded liner. A British destroyer cooperated in the worl, and aided in bringing the passengers to safety through the harbor to the docks"
 Severe List
 The liner. which stove a hole di. rectly under her engineroom, was lying with a severe list to port. She struck the rocks near the lighthouse at Roches Point at 5:40 a. m. She was within a short distance of where transatlantic vessels usually cast anchor to meet tenders. A gale had been in progress off the coast and the pilot had been unable to go aboard. It was stated that there was 12 feet of water in some of the compartments.
 The Dutch tugs Gelizee and Moryeeock tried to tow the liner of the rocks. but were unsuccessful and preparations were made to make an. other effort to get her off on the next tide. For this reason members oi the crew remained aboard the liner after the passengers had been re- moved.
