KING’S PROGRESS

RECOVERY IN SIGHT (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, January 9. To-night’s bulletin is the first since Sunday to report a definite improvement, which justifies the hope expressed that the seemingly stationary period through which the patient is passing does not signify that the King is losing ground; and further, the satisfactory reference to the local condition shows that the disease is virtually conquered. The whole problem is now to build up strength. This, it would seem, is being slowly achieved. Dr. Rigby was not at the Palace tonight, though he signed the bulletin. He was, however, in attendance in the morning. Rays were not applied to night. Circumstantial reports from Paris says that a new serum is being forwarded from France for the use of the King. It is officially learned, however, that this has not been ordered. It is pointed out that the time for the usefu lapplication of such a serum has passed. Already discussion is proceeding as to a suitable winter residence for His Majesty when he is sufficiently recovered. ANOTHER, QUIET DAY. (Recd. Jan. ’ll, 11 a.m.) LONDON, January 10A bulletin issued at 8.15 p.m. states: The King passed a quiet day. His condition is unchanged. The next bulletin will be issued' to-morrow evening. (Signed) Hewett and Dawson. DUTCH ENTERPRISE. THE HAGUE, January 10. The Royal Dutch air line daily transports to London milk and cream to assist His Majesty’s convalescence.
