MACHINES
MUST GO

Slot machines in the District that
are used for gambling must be elm.
mated Major Edwin B. Hesse, re-
firing superintendent of police, de-
clared yesterday in a special order
sent to all police captains.
p A list of establishments known to
be operating slot machines contrary
to law was submitted to the precinct
commanders by Major Hesse. He or
dered the captains to file a report
with him by March IS, stating what
had been done to exterIninate the
machines. Major Hesse, in his or
der. said In part.
THE United States attorney for
the District of Columbia holds that
all slot machines capable of being
used as gambling devices are in vio-
lation of the law. This refers par
ticularly to that type of slot machine
so adjusted as to give metal slugs,
exchangeable for merchandise or
cash, and which are used on numer.
Gus occasions for telephone calls.
1T is therefore directed that pre-
cinct commanders make an immedi-
ate survey of their precincts, and
wherever any slot or vending ma
chine, capable of being used for the
purpose of gambling is found, notify
the person on whose premises such
machine is being maintained that
the same must be removed within
48 hours"

tween her husband and the beauty

MARSHAL fOCH SAID
TO Be BETTER TODAY
Doctors Announce Slight
Improvement In Condf
tion After Consultation

Paris, Jan. II ~ - Word that
Marshal Ferdinand Foch was some
what better today was given out BY
his doctors after long consultation
at his bedside this morning. Their
bulletin said slight Improvement
noted during the last three days was
continuing.
AS they left the marshals home
the doctors added that he had slept
lather we'll during the night and that
his spirits we're still high. His
strength, they continued, apparently
was ample to carry him through to
victory In his counter offensive
against a heart attack that compelled
him to retreat to his beQ last week.
Only q nurse remained up to care
for the stricken soldier last night.
General Weygand. Foch's closest
friend, arrived at the home OF his
chief this morning and remained
until the doctors left at 10 a. m.
Although their bulletin was fav-
orable neither General Weygand nor
the physicians were of cheerful mien
as they came from the house into
the bitterly cold air.
General Weygand told \ friend,
however, that his hopes were higher
than ever for the marshal's recov-
cry. But it was expected to be many
days before he was strong enough
to go to his simple office again or
to hurry away from breakfast to the
church Of st. Clotilde, where, morn
ing after morning since he came
nome from the war to live in Paris,
he has attended early mass.
DIR. Davienieres returnd to his pa
tint for a few minutes at noon just
as the marshal was having his
rather thin lunch Of hot milk and
soup. The doctor later said the pa
tiert was "a little better" that his
spirits were good and he was rest
ing comfortably.
Major L'Hopital, the marshal's
faithful aide. and one of the few
visitors privileged to enter the house,
made his usual morning call but did
rot see his chief. In the meantime
