LESS ANXIETY FELT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

QUEEN AND PRINCESS PAY SOME VISITS.

(Received November 28, 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, November 27. An indication that the anxiety regarding his Majesty had been somewhat relieved was afforded by the fact that the Queen and Princess Mary left the Palace during the afternoon to pay some personal visits. They were cheered by the crowd waiting outside Buckingham Palace. Messages are being received at Buckingham Palace from all parts of the Empire, and other countries, expressing sympathy with the King and the Royal Family, and hopes for his Majesty’s speedy recovery.—British Official Wireless.

“ GLAD TIDINGS.'* (Received November 28, 1 pm.) LONDON, November 27. Sir W. Joynson-Hicks informed a big meeting of Conservative women in Kent that he was pleased to bear the glad tidings that the King was distinctly better to-day. He said: “I saw the Duke of York for a few minutes before leaving London and he told me that the King had a better night and was easier to-day. Of course, those who have had pleurisy realise that it is quite a distinct illness, one which you cannot get over in a day or two. You must, have patience, because it is impossible to imagine the King well again in a certain number of days. At present he is going on well. We have reason to hope before long to have even better news.” Officials at the Palace emphasise the fact that all bulletins mention that the King’s strength is maintained. This is interpreted to mean that his constitution is helping him in the fight.— Australian Press Association.
