the
following
ballet-
"The

and

:
It
was
authoritatively
stated
-at

Oal-
m
at

thisa
noon
that
there
was
no
change
in
the
King's
condition.
Hope
that
the
convalescence
of
the
King
would
be
a
matter
of
a
short
time
wag
fervently
echoed
by
the
King's
subjects
today
with
greater
confidence
than
had
been
possible
for
many
days.
It
was
generally
felt
that
if
the
King's
strength
remained
undiminished
for
another
24
hours
complete
recovery
might
be
looked
for
without
extravagent
optimism,
ihat
the
King
withstood
so
well
the
operations
which
were
dangerous
in
his
weakened
state
was
held
to
be
a
good
omen
but
it
was
not
overlooked
that
the
weakness
continued
and
that
the
toxemia
was
not
yet
overcome.
The
Daily
Express
said
today
that
great
anxiety
had
been
felt
lest
the
King's
heart
should
not
prove
strong
enough
to
stand
the
shock
of
an
operation
but
the
doctors
told
Queen
Mary
and
the
Prince
of
Wales
that
if
the
operation
had
not
been
performed
toxemia
with
which
the
blood
was
infected
would
in
all
probability
kill
the
King.
It
was
therefore
decided
to
take
the
risk.
King
George's
physicians
this
morning
issued
this
bulletin:
"The
slight
improvement
In
the
King's
condition
noted
last
night
is
maintained.

must
