(British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, December 30, (Received December 31, at noon.) A more hopeful view of the King’s condition is now taken in Palace circles, and apart from the fact that the recent bulletins have encouraged restrained optimism, there are several reassuring indications that the anxiety has to some extent been relieved. Last night’s bulletin, which stated that the King had had a quiet day, and that the slow improvement noted in the morning continued, added that no bulletin would be issued this morning. This was regarded as a favourable sign. The public also placed a similar interpretation on the announcement that Princess Mary, who had been staying at the Palace for nearly a month, felt justified in leaving London yesterday afternoon to join Viscount Lascelles and their two sons, who have spent Christmas at Harewood Hall, in Yorkshire. The movements of the Prince of Wales also indicated .that the anxiety had been somewhat relieved, He was out hunting yesterday with the Belvoir pack, and on receipt of advices from the doctors at Buckingham Palace he changed his plans for returning to London in the afternoon, and remained for the week-end at Melton Mowbray.
