PRINCE GEORGE OF ENGLAND
HURRYING ACROSS ATLAN
TIC FROM NEW YORK
| LONDON. Dec., 19. (/P)—King
'George had somewhat of a disturb
ed day and his general condition is
'not so satisfactory. Pulse however,
i remains steady. This was the disap
pointing sequel to the morning re
port which -though it warned that
progress will be slow, reassured the
public by it’s statement that the
King had maintained improvement.
More revealing of the critical
state of his Majegty’s weakness
than bulletins was Queen Mary’s
admission in her reply to President
Coolidge that her husband s
strength had not permitted doctors
to show him the message. There
was no official admission however,
that the evening bulletin warrants
pessimism.
Prince George of England, who
arrived in New York from Bermuda,
sailed for London on his voyage to
the bedside of his father, Kmg
George.
• LUGANO, Dec.. 19, (JP)—For the
1 first time since his critical illness,
i Herr Stressemann conferred with
Foreign Minister Briand. It was an
hour and a half conversation upon

rhe France-German reconciliation
! at Locarno.
Mr. Briand returned to his hotel
jin a happy frame of mind and told
the press that the first direct con
tact with Herr Stressemann in
many months had been “very satis
factory. indeed.”
The two leaders apparently ex
plained away the recent uncompli
mentary remarks regarding each
other and the way now appears
open for discussion of important
questions and evacuation of Rhen
land.

LONDON, Dec. 19, (A1)—The

had a restful night and slight im
