BOLIVIA TO COME T0 GONFERENCES (Continued from First Page) Army Increased La Paz, Dec. 12 (A—With war clouds hanging over Bolivia the strength of the army has been in- creased. The general staff called the 1929 class to the colors and the country was responding with offers of service. Retired army officers informed the general staff that they were ready to rejoin their former units. Stu- dents in universities agreed to form a battalion of troops. The Boy Scouts decided to become reorgan- ized into military brigades and have requested that they be called imme- diately for service. Holds Meeting The committee for natiogal de- fense and propaganda held a meeting to formulate measures relating to the situation. Taxi cab drivers and automobile owners offered the gov- ernment the greater part of their conveyances for any use. The situation on the Paraguayan trontier continued calm with both Paraguay and Bolivia maintaining their garrisons in their respegive positions. social club started popular gubscrip- tions for the defense of the Chaco district which is in dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay and where the frontier clash ocfurred. The national committee of the Bolivian Red Cross agreed to begin practical instruction of nurses in military hospitals. The committee also recommended that the school of medicine give compulsory train- ing in military surgery to students in the fitth, sixth and seventh years at the school. Cabinet Quits 2 The cabinet members have pré- sented their resignatiogs to President Siles #0 that he may form a minis- try for national concentration. It was thought likely that the new cabinet would be completed by nightfall. Two great mass meetings were held last night under the auspices of university students and there were other demonstrations of patriotism and in some cases a demand for war was heard. At one demonstration a leader would sing the words “Where Do We Go to Sing Our Songs?” to this a chour would reply “to Asuncion.” Asuncion is the capital of Paraguay. Alberto Palacios arrived from An- tofagasta, where he had gone to meet President-Elect Hoover when the latter passed through there on his goodwill tour and after a con- ference with the president resigned his portfolio as foreign minister. He was asked to retain this post until a new cabinet had been.formed. Gives Interview In an interview on the situation the foreign minister said: “The indignation of the govern- ment and people does not refer particularly to the frontier dispute. but rather to the treacherous attack by three hundred Paraguayan sol- diers against the garrisor of 25 Bolivians. At Fort Vanguardia, which was constructed some time ago, and the decimation of the gar- rison in an unprecedented manner. ‘We want the world to understand the seriousness of this as it involves the honer of Bolivi This attack certainly is without precedent.” Asked why Bollvia did not accept the application of the Gondra pact, which provides for the peaceful set- tlement of dispute between South American countries, the foreign minister said that Bolivia would not attempt to settle the dispute under the pact because Paraguay was trying to cover up an act of aggres- sion by means of a treaty which was essentially peaceful and which did not apply in this case.

In|e ‘The Alfonso De Mendoza | PRINCE GEORGE ON WAY HOKE 0 LONDON lemi-dll)lchhllh. New York Friday—Leaves Bermuds London, Dec. 12 UP—It was stated officially today that Prince George, who has been serving aboard the H. M.\g. Durban, left Bermuda this mornigg\for New York. He will leave New York on the Berengaria rrhuh salls for England Friday. DOCTORS OPERATE ON KING GEORGE (Continued from First Page) news was unexpected. The bulletin containing the infor- mation was framed after the five spedlalists had been with his majesty about an hour in the early after- noon. The British public which has Lbeen watching with tense anxiety very move around the palace was startled by the tidings and seemed gencrally at a loss what to make of them. There was much relief that the bulletin was accompanied by the clause that slight improvement re- ported in the king's condition had | been maintained. ‘The medical correspondent of the Evening News, discussing the bulle- tin, said:— “This afternoon’s bulletin discloses rather a serious aspect of the case, But if the purulent fluid is localized, it may not be so serious as appears at first sight. Any extensive drain- age would be effected by a little tube at the chest or the removal of a small portion of the rib. The news is something of a setback, but we shall probably be able to judge bet. ter of the importance of the devel- opment from the night bulletin. Tt is a good factor that the slight im- provement in the general condition is still maintained.” The Prince of Wales, who reached London late last night after his 6,- 000-mile race from Africa, visited Buckingham palace shortly after noon today and spent an hour and a half there. This was after the puncture @peration. About 1:30 p. m. he returned to his home at York house. During the afternoon Queen Mary attended the unveiling of the mer- cantile marine war memorial at Tower HIll. She was accompanied by Princess Mary. ‘Wonderful Strength London, Dec. 12 (M—King George was fighting his grave battle today with wonderful strength. There was a slightly more hope- ful air among Buckingham officlals this morning after the medical bul: letin had been issued and the bul- letin itself wi egarded as favor- able. The anxiety which has pre. vailed during the last two days still continued but it had been lessened. @ Fever Drops The fever'from which the king is suffering was not quite so active, this being reflected in a lowered temperature, which was considered a good sign. A remarkable rally which the king made last night just before he saw the Prince of Wales, who made a stirring \ dash from equatorial Africa to his father's bedside, seem- ed to have been maintained. This gave an inication of the strength with which the king was fighting his battle, 2 Spaces Fill As the city's life began to stir this morning the opel spaces around |Buckinfham palace began to flll | with persons anxious for the latest word from his bedside. They were glad to find that the official bulle- tin had been supplemented by an unofficial statement that the king had paesed a falrly quiet night. It was also understood that he bad some refreshing sleep. Sir Stanley Hewett, who has been almost constantly in attendance on the king lately, remained at the palace throughout the night. All Quiet After the dramatic arrival of the Prince of Wales and his subsequent | departure for York House, his own | horae, everything outside the palace had remajned quiet during the {night. A big crowd which had watched the prince's coming early {in the evening melted away before { midnight and a steady drizzle of {rain and then sleet cleared the last |of the watchers away at 2 a. m. From that hour until dawn the only policemen and newspaper men. Crowd Gathers By 10 a. m. a considerable crowd had gathered in the rain, not only awaiting the posting of the new bul- letin but anticipating the early ar- rival of the Prince of Wales. The prince, however, was naturally fa- tigued atter his long and trying journey at top speed to his father's jsick room and he was said to be still sound asleep during the mid- |dle of the forenoon at York house. | He had not appeared at the palace when the physicians issued their morning report at 10:30 a. m. The first visitor of the royal fam- ily to appear was the Duke of York, who arrived at the palace at 11:35 a. m. It was announced officlally that | Queen Mary would keep her engage- ment to unveil the Mercantile Ma- rine war memorial in place of the king this afternoon. When the prince first arrived at the palace last night it was an- nounced that he was not allowed to see his father. Later it was stated, however, that he did see the king i but the visit was not prolonged for fear of tiring the patient. These con- tradictory statements were explain. ed unofficially today by the an- nouncement that the king was sleeping when his son and heir ar- rived but that he awoke before the prince left the palace and as his condition showed %ome improve- ! ment it was decided that the visit might be permitted without risk. Long Strain Tn view of the prolonged strain to which the king’s constitution has been subjected it was generally felt today that serious developments might occur at any hour. The eve- ning bulletin on his condition stated that there was no Increase in his exhaustion and that his pulse was steady. Medical! writers in the news- papers pointed out, however, that no #ain in strength was noted and that the king's general infection contin- ued. Shortly before m‘d!lhl 1t was un- officially stated that there had been a slight change for the better in the Ikln conditisn. This announce- | ment was regarded as giving some :ouco\umn-nt. | It was stated semi-officially that !the king was making a magnificent istruggle against his iliness although deep anxiety persisted at the palace. The fact that the monarch passed a quiet day enabled his constitution Yo continue the fight against the gen- eral infection. The king’s physicians, Sir Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn, issued a brief evening bulletin say- ing: The prince's return was widely welcomed and his 6,500 mile dash to a record for European travel. It was pointed out that this was only made possible by hearty cooperation of the railroad systems of the var- fous countries over which the prince passed. N FOUL LAY SEEN IN DEATH OF DELPE Pneumonia and Meningitis Blamed for Man's Death Eugene Delpe, 54 years old, who died in the New Britaln General hos- pital yesterday was the Victim of lobar pneumonia and meningitis rather than foul play, Dr. John Pur- ney, deputy medical examiner, de- clared today after he had performed an autopsy on the body yesterday. Delpe was picked up on Chestnut street near Main strect Saturday night by Policeman Delbert Veley who suspected that he was intoxi- cated. He brought him to police headquarters and entered a charge of intoxication against him. The following morning, howcver, he was unable to move his limbs and Cap- tain George Kelly ordcred his re- nioval to the New Britain General hospital. The case remained a mystery and at his death the hospital physi- clans were no nearer a solution. It was then that Dr. Purney decided to perform an autopsy. John J. Tarrant, New Britain un- dertaker, took the remains from the hospital and then left them in the care of a Middleton undertaker who will arrange for the funeral in Mid- dleton, Mr. Delpe's former home.
