FRENCH MARSHAL
MAY DIE TODAY
SAY PHYSICIANS
BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. /. U,p)-Marshal
Joseph Joffre's condition became
critical today, but an official bulle-
tin announced that the veteran sol.
dier was resting quietly"
Despite the courage with which
the hero of the Marne has held tc
live since he became gravely i'll last
Saturday, most of his close friends
believed he was losing ground
ut is nearly the end," said Nine
Alexander Millerand, wife of the
former president of the republic, as
she left the hospital sobbing.
The police assigned to duty near
the hospital cleared the streets at
noon when false rumor of the
death of Marshal Joffre was circu-
lated in Paris and abroad. The
baSeless rumor, which was an
nounced on the radio as allegedly
official" news, caused Premier
Theodore Steeg to drive to the hos
pital. The premiers chauffeur said
Steeg had arrived ito salute the
dead" AS a result of the false ru-
NOR, an announcement of Joffre's
condition was issued later from the
premier's office for the first time.
The capital was confused by the
erroneous reports, recalling that a
similarly false report of the death
of the late Georges Clemenceau,
wartime premier, was circulated in
Paris and abroad some hours be-
fore the Tiger" actually died. The
correspondents in touch with the
hospital authorities were informed
that Joffre was in critical condi-
ton, but still fighting bravely.
In the meantime a flood of mes
sages of coincidence arrived for
Madame Joffre.
Members of the cabinet, including
Aristide BRAND, Henri Cheron and
others, arrived at the hospital.
I'VE found Marshal Joffre feeble
but alive said Minister of Marine
Charles Danielou, as he departed.
The false report of Marshal Jof-
fre's death was circulated in AM
erica by others than the United
Press today, but was soon followed
by a doctors bulletin disproving the
rumor.
An announcement at the office of
Premier Theodore Steeg, who has
been in constant contact with at
tendantS at the bedside of Marshal
Joseph Joffre, said that at EOS p. m.
(8:05 a. m, E. S. T) today the gen.
eral was extremely low. The an
nouncement said he was suffering
no pain, however.
A bulletin issued by four of his
physicians said his pulse was 14O and
his respiration 35.

the contracts awarded stage. They
totaled $183,347, 100. Thirty-one of them
are being built by private interests at

She is confident 1t will occur in

Her faith. she said is based on
fulfillment of prophecies uttered
by Moses and reiterated through
the Bible to the end Of REVEAL

pearance will mean the end Of
the world, but she expects it to

Rather that violence and de-
struction, Miss PankhurSt believes,
the return Of Christ will mark the
beginning OF a millennium Of per-

He will rule the world-an age Of
such peace and progress and
splendor as the earth has never
