Reports say Alexander has died

October 19, 1920

The Central News correspondent in Rome has wired London with a report from the Giornale d'Italia, obtained by wireless from the Greek steamer Brindisi that "King Alexander is dead."

This report is not considered credible as the "last bulletin, received by Reuters from Athens," at 11 a.m. stated the King's condition "was unchanged."

A French noted surgeon, who has not been named, left Paris today for Athens by special train "in answer to an urgent summons from the bedside of King Alexander." 


 It is understood that he will "attempt another operation on the King."
