 Drain More Speedily
BULLETIN ASSURES NATION
 GENERAL CONDITION GOOD

Nature of Surgery More Serious Than at First Believed Necessary Strength of Monarch Favors Quick Recovery.
 London, July 15 P>-King George was operated on successfully before noon today for drainage of a small abscess remaining in his right chest. Seven doctors came to Bucking- ham Palace for the operation and the Prince of Wales drove over from York House, presumably to be at the bedside of his father in the event of emergency.
 Bulletin is Issued
 After the operation was perform ed the doctors issued the following bulletin:
 "An operation has been perform ed on his majesty, the king, por- tions of two ribs were removed in order to be circumscribed. The ab- scess is one and one-half inches across and should be directly drain- ed and treated, the condition of his majesty is satisfactory.
 (Signed)
 Sir Stanley Hewett,
 Sir Hugh Rigby,
 Professor Shipway,
 Lord Dawson of Penn" The king apparently was well pre- pared for what had been idicated was minor, but important, use of the surgeons knife. Reports from the palace where he passed last night rcstfully were that he was in his usual good spirits today.
 No particular concern was felt when the official bulletin was put out just after noon relating the ne- cessity of removing portions of two ribs in order to obtain quick direct drainage of the abscess.
 Public Anxiety Relieved
 While public anxiety had not been excessive with regard to the operation, which it was known the king would have to undergo today,
