STEM FIGHT AGAINST MALADY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 3. (Received December 4, at 9.45 a.m.) Reports from other sources confirm the statement that there is a better atmosphere at the Palace. The doctors’ keenest desire at the moment is that tho King should maintain his strength in the stern light against the malady. Sir IV. Joynson-Hicks (Home Secretary) made a brief call at the Palace and left with his face wreathed in smiles. Sir W. Joynson-Hicks later stated: “I do not want to deceive you or to say that the illness is over or anything of that kind. Things were serious last night, but there is undoubtedly a feeling in the air that tho King is bettor to-day than he was yesterday.” The Queen remained at tho Palate all day. She was joined at tea by the Duke and Duchess of York .t-Austra-lian Press Association. M BALDWIN VISITS PALACE SHOP EMPLOYEES SING NATIONAL ANTHEM. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
