F0CH'S CONDITION
/. Continues GRAVE
CONTINUED from First Pagc)

Marshals courtyard when the first
of the days callers stopped to IN
quire regarding his condition.
OF the first twelve visitors to sign
the register at the Janitor's Lodge,
six were generals. General Weygand,
a great personal friend of Foch ana
his right hand man in military mat
tiers, was the only caller admitted-lo
the house itself.
Georges Clemenceau, former
premier, suffering from bad at
tack of grippe. was expected to re-
sumo his work before the end of
the week. unless his ST years should
tell too heavily on him.
House Closed
BY the orders Of his doctors,
Marshal Foch's house was closed to
all callers during the night and
plunged into darkness SO that the
II year old soldier could get as
much sleep as possible. His condi-
ton this morning was still extreme
ly grave, although, as DIR. Davien-
ieres put it, the prognosis was as
favorable as the age of the patient
permitted.
Professor Andre, a specialist In
kidney diseases who attended Foch
throughout the war, was sum-
moned yesterday when uremia de-
veloped from kidney infection
after the marshal's heart attack.
His view was that there was no inn
mediate danger and he returned to
the university at Nancy today.
Kidneys Weak
The marshal has suffered from
functional kidney trouble for many
years and requires constant care and
for this reason Professor Andre was
attached to his staff during the war.
So far as could be learned there
was no organic kidney disease, the
present symptoms being an aggra-
walton of his old trouble due to ILL
ness while other physicians attend
ing the marshal were extremely re-
served in their judgment, Professor
AIluFe wills IIloIe OptiIIliotlC. Ilc odll
he gathered the impression from a
long talk he had with DR.. Heitz-
1 Boyer that the marshal, despite his
! n years, would make a slow re-
coyery in view of his robust condi-
| ton.
The marshaIs two daughters
were admitted to the sick room
late last night to make little visit
to their father before he fell asleep.
They found him cheerful. full of
confidence and more hopeful than
his doctors.
1t was understood that caffine had
been administered as stimulant in
the early evening for the second
time during the day.
At lunch the marshal insisted on
two fingers of red wine being poured
into his glass which was then filled
with water and he had his way.
