ANXIETY OVER
KING GEORGE
IS INCREASING
Official Bulletin De-
scribes Condition As
Restless; Second
Nurse Called
LONDON. Nov. 2C — i/P1 — Increas-
ing anxiety over the illness of King
George was evident today in view
of a rise in his temperature yes-
terday and of a Saturday’s statement
that pleurisy continued to be a
“prominent feature.”
The official Mexican bulletin on
King George's condition today said:
“The king passed a restless night.
A variability in the fever and the
spread of the pleurisy must b© ex-
pected at this stage of the illness.”
The Dally Mail today expressed
regret that the king’s condition was
less satisfactory. While declaring
that official bulletins were precise-
ly accurate the newsn .pet udded:
Add Second Nurse
} “But this illness a a whole must
be borne in nund. ph. sician* know-
only too well that when there is
beyond doubt a inicsobe as in the
king’s case it roust he overcome
Until it is ri.uted the case carnot
be said to he without danger.
A happening that added to anxiety
wns the stationing of two tiursy* at
the king’s bedside during the night
Previously be had only one nur>'’-
It is understood that before the
king's physicians. Sir Stanley Hewitt
and Lord Dawson of Per.n left. the.
saw Sir William .Tnynson-H"5***
home secretary one of the ***" T
visitors at the pnlare.
(ontrasted with the stormy wea-
ther of the week this nn-rning wus
a bright one and a ]artr crowd
frathfr^d outbid* th* pal*^**
msx.ous for the latest word from
the sir1 room.
Males to Kemaf" Away
There was the changing of
(h- guard and the t’aidatream guards
played cheerful selections during
ti e ceremony. ...
Tt was s'..t. den good authority
that a roe- age whs sent to the
I ri „)• Wide a yesterday telling'
him there* va* no need to change
h:* plans. This was before the in-
lounrcmenl that the king's fe\er
K- d increased but there is no ii tima-
t'on *.f any message of a different
mature having been sent to the
prince aince.
It aa« stated to lay that the king's
fcuiperature did not exceed 101 yes-
rrday. The mention of “variability
is fever” in today's bulletin has
hi ft the public uncertain whtther
this temperature is being exceeded |
but it was noted this phra*-e might j
cover a diminution as well as an in-
crease in feverishness. The indica-
tion in the bulletin that pleun«y
was spreading was the nu-st dN*
ouieting feature but. as noted this
v as offest by the statement that
it was to be expected at this junc-
ture.
