WORLD WAR IS
TOLD TO REST
French Comma n der
Has Had Bronchitis,
Bad Cold Since Last
Armistice Day

PARIS, Jan. 14.-(P)-
Marshal Ferdinand Foch,
generalissimo of the allied
armies in the world war, was
taken seriously i'll today
with heart trouble.
The marshal caught a very
bad cold at the armistice
day celebration. 1t settled
into bronchitis and interfer-
ed with his breathing.
Apparently he had recov-
cred fully from that affec-
ton but the strain of the i'll
ness told on him and he suf-
fered a severe heart attack.
Three doctors were called into con-
cultation today. Ii was said that a
bulletin would be ISSUED late this
afternoon.
A communique issued by his ply
sicians late today said:
"The marshal is suffering from a
heart attack, necessitating complete
rest"
Marshal Foch, who Is a., has not
been well in recent months.
The marshal, who played so prom
inent a part in the great battle Of
the Marne during the early days Of
the World war, has been living in
retirement for some time.
During the convention Of the
American legion in 1927, he made his
appearance on the second day and
was wildly cheered by the legion
nEires.
