BRITAIN's KING IS SINKING

LONDON, Dec. II, P) = The Kings physicians are waging a fight against death this morning. Unof1cially it is said that the chan ces of the Kings recovery are very slight. Most persons are wondering whether the Prince of Wales, who is expected to arrive tonight in Lon don, would win the race with time and again see his father alive.
 The official bulletin, which was very brief this morning. was still non-committal and conveyed little information to the general public, and certainly gave no ground for a belief that there would be any chance fer the better in the Kings condition.
 It is evident that the persistent fever which. has wracked the Kings body for more than three weeks has been sapping his strength and still held firm grim upon him. The Kings power of resistence has been ebbing for many days under the strain of the lung infection, which has now spread to his gen. eral system.
 It has been evident from his phy- sicians' recent reports that there was some hope for his anxious sub jects, who have been hoping almost against hore. In today's bulletin tine doctors say there has been no further dirlinItion of His Majesty s strength after night in which the King had several hours sleep. Whether this was natural or induc- ed sleep, the bulletin does not state.

COOLIDGE STORY PUBLISHED
 BY ST. LOUIS PAPER

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10. (F = The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in its fif- tieth anniversary copyrighted edi- tion yesterday, published an ar ticle from President Coolidge tell ing of the demands made upon the t:::..e of a President of the United States. He suggests that the White House be in the hills near Wash ington, D. C., where the Chief Ex- ecutive may escape the summer heat of the Capitol.
 Coolidge said in the article that he has the distinction of being the second President of the United States to keep well, due. he says. to his regular habits.
 Commenting upon the need of a summer White House. he said that the Washington climate is op- pressive in summer because at sea level the humidity is high and the only escape is a trip on the May flower on the Potomac, which pro- vides no escape on account Of the elevation. A retreat in the hills would allow the President a chance to entertain friends where his F. yc- ments would not be attended by great ceremony and without the great preliminary disturbance os making preparations.

FOREIGN GOLD IMPORTS
TOU. TO BE CURBED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August Evidence
that the Bank of France and the Bank
of England authorities are cooperating
with the Federal Reserve in preventing
imports of gold into this country and
thereby reducing the credit strait was
given today in the action of the French
bank in establishing exchange rates
that make gold shipments from France
prohibitive.
This Is a reciprocal movement in
which the foreign banks that were as
sisted last year by low interest rates in
this country and the subsequent ship
ments of gold to build up their bal
ances are now helping the Federal Re-
serve by imposing restrictions on the
return of this gold at a time when
New York banking interests are at
tempting to reduce rather than tC in
crease the facilities for speculation in
securities.
The high rates for call loans In New
York have been attracting funds from
European centers. These have been a
part of the item Of loans of others
with which 1t has been so difficult for
the Federal Reserve to deal. The pro-
gram of the Bank of France is to raise
its rates on exchange so that there
will be no profit to the private banks
in trading francs against dollars and
placing them in the New York market.
Reports from London are that French
and English bankers are now comforting
there on plans to protect their gold
holdings

serious impression on prices, although 1t
was a little heavier toward the close.
General Motors was the leader. 1t

extended this gain in the later trading,
At 1856 today 1t was up more than s

important stock, but today's advance
was made by new buying for long ac-
count As we'll as the closing out Of con-

as rapidly as Motors, but 1t worked
higher right from the start. The open

less than 2 points under the years

changed hands at 204, in contrast
with the previous close of 1917. Sears
Roebuck made a new high. Montgom-
cry Ward opened down S points, but
most of the loss was made up subse-
quently.

up above $40 to new top. but was not
as conspicuous. Greene Cananea was

There were many other features on

they all reflected the change in public
