DOCTORS SAY FOCH
CANNOT RECOVER
His Death Seems Question of
Ten Days at Most,
They Predict.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 26.-The Associated
Press was informed authoritatively today
that the condition of Marshal Ferdinand
Foch is considered hopeless and that his
death appears only question of days
one week or 10 days at the most.
The informant, in a grief-stricken
tone and with tears yelling up in his
eyes, reluctantly admitted that the
78-year-old generalissimo of the allied
armies, who has been struggling against
a complication of diseases for the past
month, probably has fought his last
fight.
The marshals temperature rose to
1016 at noon today and his weakness
is becoming alarming, each pulmonary
attack bringing the famous soldier lower
and lower. In addition to combating
uremia, the marshal's physicians must
fight sclerosis of the heart.
Can the marshal be saved?" the
informant was asked.
II fear not. We must not forget
that the soldier is nearing 49,"
Officially hope has not been aban-
doned for the famous soldier, and at
least one of his doctors is still optimistic
that the marshal may pull through, but
in other authoritative quarters this
optimism is feared unwarranted.

RETIREMENT BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Provides increase
in Maximum Annuity From
$1,000 to $1,000.

The House today, by a vote of 219
to 0, passed the Dale-Lehlbach bill to
liberalize the civil service retirement
law under the special rule ordered by
the rules committee in the last session
of Congress. 1t was called up for vote
after a petition signed by 281 members
of the House had been presented to
the Speaker to force action by Repub-
lican leaders.
The bill, which previously had been
passed by the Senate, provides an in
crease in maximum annuities from
81 900 to 81 200.
While the House was debating the
adoption of the rule, Representative
Woodrum, Democrat, of Virginia,
member of the civil service committee,
told the facts in the case, saying this
action today is nothing but gesture In
bringing the bill up. Consideration Of
this measure today is just a sop to SUI
perannuated employees who are waiting
for Congress to open up its heart"
He reviewed the progress of the bill
through the House and Senate and en-
phasiZed that it would not be called up
today, only that Republican leaders are
certain that it will "sleep the sweetly
peaceful sleep that other legislation has
slept in the capacious pocket of the
Chief Executive. which is just as ca
pacious as the pocket of the chairman
of the rules committee"
Spokesman for both the Republican
and Democratic sides protested against
a proposal for a division of time in de-
batting the bill, stating that there was
no known ODpOSitiOn to it.

EDMONTON. Alberta, February 90
Reports of fresh lawlessness on the part
OF the CaSsiar and the Sikanni tribes
men have caused the Royal Canadian
mounted police to decide to establish q
post at Fort Lizard next Summer.
The tribeSmen, who live in the North
west Territories, gained attention some
years ago through stories of orgies at
which there were human sacrifices. In
lonely canyons, other reports stated,
two Indians found guilty of bringing
misfortune on the tribe, were lashed
naked to stakes in below-ze weather
and water was poured over their bodies
until they turned into statues of ice.
This year, however, reports of the
beaver being killed off have determined
the police to establish a post at the
junction of the Lard and Pettitot
Rivers.

TOPEKA, Kans., February 26.-Divi-
sion of Kansas and establishment of
the western half as the forty-ninth
State in the Union is proposed in a res
olution prepared for introduction in the
State Legislature.
Failure of the Legislature to reap
portion the senatorial districts every five
years, as provided in the Kansas consti-
tuition. Is pointed out in the resolution.
The document charges that no such re-
apportionment has been made for %
years. despite repeated efforts by the
western part of the State.
The resolution also declares that
Western Kansas has nearly half the
population" of the State, and 'pays
practically one-half" of all taxes used
to maintain State institutions, which
is taxation without representation"
Reference Is made to the present al
lotment of six Senators to the Western
half of the State and "a to the cas-.
ern half.
IF this be treason, make the most
of it," the resolution concludes. 1t was
prepared by four western members OF
the House.
