King in Best of Health
United Press i Association—Bv Electric Telegraph.—-Copyright. i LONDON, March 12. Veiled suggestions regarding the King’s health, circulated from irresponsible sources, perhaps with an invidious motive, but which have now ceased, would seem to have their baselessness completely confirmed by the strenuousness of His Majesty’s activities. It is generally recognised that these stories have no foundation in fact, but His Majesty lately has utterly disproved them himself by undertaking a round of daily engagements which might have taxed even his predecessors.
Apparently tireless, King George's iaily official engagement list involves sometimes six or seven audiences, irrespective of infoimal daily conferences with officials, with an endless routine of signing papers, and, apart from engagements like yesterday’s Buckingham Palace party to the Diplomats Corps, he has now arranged a series of dinner parties at the Palace, two of which are on March 15 and 17, besides vigorous outdoor pursuits. The Australian Associated Press an* derstands that the King et recent shooting parties walked miles, tiring out other members of the party, in addition to which he has been playing vigorous tennis.
His Coronation programme will necessitate almost daily and nightly functions and a certain amount of travelling, but there appears to be no diminution in his engagements before the Coronation weeks, which will occupy him practically to the end of July.
