Public Interest Intense in
Last Session of
Present Body

London, Jan. 2: N-No special
ceremonies attended the reopening
of parliament this afternoon a. this
was merely the resumption Of a
session which adjourned just before
Christmas for the holidays. There
was pronounced public interest in
the reassemblage. however. a. this
is the last session Of the present
parliament and much important
cleanup" work remains to be done.
With no untoward political hap

should see the local government bill.

prepared for the general election
late in May or early in June.
May - has been named a. a
favorable day on which to proclaim
the dissolution. Nominations would
be made eight days later. excluding
Sundays. and polling would take
place nine days after nominations.
on Thursday. June 13.
If this date is selected It can be

election day would fall between two
famous horse racing events, derby

voters on the registers, conservative
leaders are confident ola majority

Postponement of the general elec-

Paris, Jan. - M-Marshal Fer
dinand Foch has successfully fought
or attacks on his heart and kidneys
and today seemed well ON the road
to recovery.
Were he man Of 80 we would
not hesitate to tell you he was now
out Of danger" said the marshal's o
three doctors after visiting the aick
room. The marshal IL approaching
his 18th year.
Usual Caution
The medical bulletin was phrased
with usual caution of physicians but
went SO far as to say that Foch's
condition was "very much better"
The doctors decided there was no
further need for them to visit the
patient more than twice daily.
Therefore they agreed not to return
to the sickroom at midday as had
been their custom for the past week.
The marshal was permitted to cit
up in an armchair for a full hour
today, his short time out Of bed yes
terday not having fatigued him In
the least. He will not. however. be
allowed to have any visitors, not
even his close friend General Wey-
gand despite all his pleas.
Mind Too Active

shall see General Weygand at yet"
the doctors explained. THE mar
shal's mind is too active and We are
sure If General Weygand entered the
room Marshal Foch would immedi-
ately begin talking Of Tr'"tary and
Office affairs. This We do not want
Him to do just now when he needs
to conserve all his strength"
No further bulletins are likely un-

than the tunnel project, that OF the
construction Of q 21-mile bridge, is
also now under discussion in Eng
