PARIS, January 19.—Marshal Ferdi- nand Foch, generalissimo of the allied armies in the World War, had tonight progressed so far in his recovery from the kidney trouble and heart attack which laid him low six days ago, that he sat up in bed and called for news- papers.

Like the marshal he hails from the Basque country and he has been for years the personal friend and confessor of Foch.
