Dr. Davenieres, the marshal's army physician, called at intervals of every two hours and at noon Dr. Hertzboyer made a brief call. Both physiclans will visit the patient again late this afternoon and there will be a general consultation early this evening. Battles For Life The war-time generalissime I8 battling for his life, there being intermittent weakness of the heal and then reactions during which he is somewhat stronger. The fact that his brother, Rev. Father Foch, has been summoned to Parls from Montpelier is interpreted as indli- cating that the doctors feel the marshal’s condition is most serious. Little Yvette Fournier, the mar- shal's granddaughter, came to luncheon at his home today and sat at the table with her grandmother and mother, “Where is grandpapa? Why does- n't he eat? I want to see him,” she sald, but this latter plea had to be denied. No one except the Marshal's wife and two daughters will be permitted to see him. Thelr visits will only be for short interv-ls. Marshal Foch remains in good spirits. He usually has & joke or pleasantry ready for his doctors. “I told him today of the arrival of several messages of sympathy and good wishes from America,” Dr. Davenieres said. “The Marshal was deeply touched.” Spirits Strong Not only are the soldier's spirits strong but his constitution is stand- ing up well, the physicians said, in- dicating that hopes were high for hin recovery. It was felt that the struggle to regain the health en- joyed & few weeks ago must in the circumstances be a long and diffi- cult one, For the time being there is likely to continue to be a great deal of anxlety.

It is understood in Italian court circles that King Victor Emmanuel ill be the first visitor to Pope Pius under the new state of things. While in all probability this first call will be returned by Cardinal Gasparri, acting for the pontiff, there will be no impediment to the pope's making the call himself if he so wishes. Upon issuing from the Vatican the Pope would be entitled to royat honors from all the armed forces of the kingdom of Italy. The new dispensation will render much simpler and easler visits of fureign sovereigns and chiefs of state to the Vatican. Bettlement of the Roman question will obviate the necessity of their changing residence from embassies or legations ac- credited to Italy to those accredited to the Holy S8ee before going to call on the Pope. In the case that another American president should visit Rome during his tenure of office as Woodrow Wil- son did in 1918 there would be no complications such as having to de- part from the United States embas- sy—technically United States terri- tory—and return to the embassy before going elsewhere. Settlement of 50 year old prob- icms also makes possible envisag- ing the return in person by the pope of the visits of rulers, including King George of England who called on him a few years ago. The pope has found confinement to the Vatican particularly trying on a person of his | active temperament and mountain climbing zeal. He is understood to have remarked to friends on| what a fortunate man Herbert Hoov- er was to be able to make first hand contacts with Latin American chiefs of state. Naturally for the present this is largely conjectyre.

The ruck is registered in the name of Villiam J. Murphy of 561 Main treet, this city. Stepp first gave his ame as Murphy but later admitted hat it was Stepp. According o the rlice h~ rented the barn from Car- b0, who is visiting in Italy. The ofticers found nine vats in the cellar of the barn, six being empty jand three working. There were six kegs full ready to be put in the truck and one already in the truck. More than two dozen empty beer and cider barrels were about the cellar.

TESTS ON SUBMARINE HALTED FOR REPAIRS Postponement for Two Weeks Results From Severed Hawser Bridgeport, Jan. 16 (M—With tests on the submarine Defender halted by necessity of repairs to the engines which it is estimated will cause a postponement of at least two weeks, Captain Sloan Dannenhower, work- ing with Mr. Lake, has gone to Washington, together with Lieut. Commander Palmer H. Dunbar, the latter in charge of government oper- ations in the trials here. No special significance is attached to the blow- Ing out of the gaskets at the local dock. It was stated that there are hundreds of reasons why this might occur and that it might occur at any time and on any boat, All new gas- kets are being replaced immediately and the work will not be finished for about two weeks, it is estimated. Whether the Mallard will be re- crdered to Bridgeport at the con- clusion of the repairs or another vesscl sent here for submerging tests, will not be made known unti] Cap- tain Dannenhower and Lieut. Dunbar give their reports in Washington. Captain Dannenhower is especial- ly anxious to have the tests go on as soon as possible, it is stated, be- cause it would relieve him and 8im- con Lake from the heavy expense entailed. “The Defender has been ready for the test, due to our efforts in working overtime, Sundays and holidays for four months,” Captain Dannenhower declared. “The expense is great but we have spared none to get ready.” The partial severing of a hawser and communication line of the De- fender, discovered yesterday has been explained by Lieut. Commander Dunbar, as possibly due to a sailor hacking away ice. The cut will be mended 150 feet from the Defender and 600 feet from the Mallard. Had the rope snapped it would undoubt- edly have become entangled in the propeller of the submarine doing ser- lous damage, according to the sub- marine’s engineers. ‘Washington Washington, Jan. 16 (A—Lieu- (Continued on Page 15) \ R. .

Chairman Judd made his, an- nouncement several weeks before election and later iIntimated that filing of his party's election exp- enses would be his last act in office.

Papers ENGLAND THRILLED AT HELEN'S ENGAGEMENT Evening News Calls Teanis Star On Phone 6,000 Miles to Verify Report. London, Jan. 16 M — News of Helen Wells' engagement to Freder- ick 8. Moody, Jr., was a front page story in London today, numerous pictures of her being printed as well tributes to her beauty, charm and tennis genius, “Helen Wills, 23-Love,” said one headline. Hope was expressed that her part- ner on Cupid’s court will not inter- rupt her visits to Wimbledon where her reign is likely to surpass Suzanne Lenglen's string of victories. The Evening News went so far— a matter of 6,000 miles and several hundred dollars— to ring Helen up on the transatlantic transcontinental telephone to ask her all about it. The California tennis star sald that it was true, that her engagement would not interfere with her Wim- | bledon visit this year and that her | flance was very handsome but not | much good at tennis.

It is understood from an authori- tative source that the king is now definitely stronger than at any time since the beginning of his {llness. The increase in strength, however, has been very gradual and cannot be measured from day to day, but, as compared with a fortnight ago, his majesty is considerably strength- ened. The difficulty of persuading the king to take nourishment has been largely overcome and for the past week he has been taking more food. This has been reflected in his in- creased strength with tha result that much confidence now exists at Buck- ingham palace. BOY'S CURIOSITY CAUSES EXPLOSION IN MANHOLE!
