LIFE Of
MARSHAL
IS T FADING
JOffre Weakens Steadily
As Doctors Continue
Attendance At Bed Side
PULSE Is FEEBLE
Late Bulletins Show No
Advance In Condition
OF Aged War Hero.
BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 81. (Up)-Marshal
Joseph Joffre's life appeared to fade
with the old year today, and the
grim old soldier. weakened steadily
from the ravages of disease.
He had lapsed into a state OF
semi-Consciousness this afternoon.
His pulse was more feeble and the
arterial tension reduced, which the
doctors considered bad sign in
view of the patients feebleness.
Joffre carried on his desperate
fight for life, but physicians were
not hopeful. The marshal amazed
them at times by remarkable rallies.
During the night he demanded food.
and when a nurse brought him
glass of milk he grabbed the glass
and began to drink as fast as he
could.
A bulletin issued at 6 a. m. said:
Despite respiratory difficulties
several times, the patient passed
fairly calm night, conserving con-
sciousness but constantly weaken
ing. The pulse frequently increased,
while arterial tension decreased"
The bulletin was signed by Pro-
fessor Leriche. DR.. Boulin and DR..
Rene Fontaine.
DIR. Fointaine told the United Press
at $40 a. m. he feared that the mar
shall had only few hours to live.
The marshal is constantly weak
ening," Dr. Fontaine said, His
heart, which heretofore has been
strong. has started to weaken. Just
before midnight his pulse was be-
tween 40 and 1870. CThe normal
pulse beat is from 20 to rs beats
per minute) l fear he has only
three or four hours to live"
Late Bulletin
The following bulletin on Mar
shall Joffre was issued at p. M:
The marshals condition is sta
tionary, although there was slight
lapse of consciousness this morning
for one hour, which left the pulse
weak and intermittent. Actually
the patient is resting calmly, al
though nourishment remains diff
cult"
1t was signed by the five doctors
attending him.
DR.. Rene Fontaine as he left the
hospital, told the United Press:
Marshal Joffre suffered crisis at
] p. m. However, he emerged from
1t and is now sleeping. His resist
ance is extraordinary"

ANSWERS QUESTIONS
Will Spend Three Months
In Pasadena Telling Of
Theories On Relatively.
BY LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 81. W.RA-
DR.. Albert Einstein, famed German
physicist, arrived here today enroute
to Pasadena, where he will spend
three months advancing theories
with which he has startled Scien-
fists and mystified the general pub
lie.
The short, bushy-haired man
came in on the Belgenland to meet
a lusty American reception amid
confusion almost equal to his well
come in New York City several
weeks ago.
DR.. Einstein was not yet dressed
when the swarm of questioners went
aboard and Frau Einstein explained
he had not expected them so soon.
Il guess he'll have to go through
it all again. she said, referring to
the Interrogation by newsmen. She
disappeared into their stateroom.
A few minutes later she led her
distinguished husband before the
newsmen.
Dr. EinStein was nervous but ex-
tremely pleasant and apparently
quite willing to be interviewed.
A score of reporters shot queS-
tions at DR.. Einstein and another
score Of photographers lowered
about taking pictures of him.
The questions ranged from reli-
gion to pleas for brief explanations
of his most complicated theories.
rs Europe approaching another
WARP" Dr. Einstein was asked.
1T is a question of acting, not
waiting he answered. A secretary
interpreted this to mean that action
was necessary to prevent war.
Most of the questions were parried
by DR.. Einstein. He seemed to re-
gard some of them as jokes and he
gave a humorous reply now and
then.
How are you feeling?" a ques-
toner asked.
Fine until just now was the an
swer
will man ever be able to travel
to another planet?"
Il don't know that there are men
on other planets"
do you intend to do any work
while you are here?"
do you mean work that has been
born or work that is yet to be born?"
Dr. Einstein said.
He later amplified this by saying
he expected to confer with other
scientists and perhaps do a "little
work" on some of his own theories.
Dr. Einstein said he intended to
stay in Pasadena for about six

WATER SUPPLY LIMITED

Due to the long, dry, cold period of weather, the water level in the Douglas reservoir has been gradu- ally going lower until it has become necessary for MT Kilburn to re- duce to turn the water off partially or entirely during a part of the time.
 Very little water is going into the tanks at present and it is not enough to take care of the waste caused by leaving the taps open at night to keep individual water systems from freezing up.
 The shortage was most felt at the school house where on account of the elevation, no water was had yesterday. If the conditions do not improve soon, the regular ses- sions may be discontinued school authorities said last night.

States and Great Britain want to apply.
 France also wants to build eX- tensively in both cruisers and sub marines and she has intinated, too, that. she may not sign treaty at London unless it's enforcement is brought under the League of Ma tions. A three power, instead of five power treaty now is a possi- bility, with both France and Italy left out.
 Tangle of Aspirations
 As sponsors for the conference, it will be the purpose of the Ameri can and British delegates, in par ticular, to tread very softly amid this tangle of rival national aspira- tions.
 Diplomatic history has demon- strated often the hazards of play ing upon sensitive national emo- tions, just as it has shown, like wise, that by proceeding carefully from one rock of safety to another, something at least, can be accom- plished.
 At the Washington conference in 1921, one after another of the origi- nal proposals had to be put aside. Some, beset by danger signals, passed from the picture with sur prising suddenness. Limitation of armies-a subject not on the pro gram at London-went into the dis card almost at the start. Scaling Down Strength
 The scaling down of cruiser and I submarine strength followed The whole course of the negotiations was subject to change from hour to hour. But, by proceeding al ways along the line of least diplo- matic resistance, the conference did succeed in bringing the mighty bat | tleship within restrictive covenants and in laying down technical limits on a few other classes of warships
 Thus at London. Already tenta- tive proposals for abolition of the submarine and the battleship seem headed toward deadlock. Holding to the principle of taking first those things most easily treated, the assembling delegates hope to pro- ceed step by step to real accom- plishment, however far short of the ultimate ideal they may fall.
 At this preliminary stage, the ob- jectives standing out largest on the horizon are the actual realization of parity between the United States and Great Britain, and genera trimming down of all warShiI building programs for a limited number of years in the immediate future.
 If the conference were to ac- complfsh these things and nothing
