Telegraph Co, Palace Hotel, San Francisco, July 30th. —President Harding’s illness responded today to careful treatment and complete rest, but his physicians, in a statement issued tonight, admitted for the first time that his condition was serious. Presidential Headquarters Palace Ho- tel, San Francisco, July 30th. —After the third consultation held since this morn- ing of physicians attending the Presi- dent, who 1s seriously ill here, it was an- nounced that his condition h d become grave. The physicians declared in a statement that definite central patches of broneho-pneumonia had developed in the right lung, as indicated clinieally and by the Xray. The development of pneu- n.onia was one thinz which Brigadier- General Sawyer, the President’s personal physician, had said less than two hours earlier that h= feared almbst above all else as a complication. San Francisco, Cal,, July 31st.—Presi- dent H®rding is fighting the greatest bat- tle of his career, a strugglz in which his life is the stake. Arraigned agains: him are branco-pneumonia, symptons of which wers discovered by :he attending physicians late last night and also the danger of other complications. Ariayed in his favour are his calm determination, a subsidence of the earlier ablomina: troubte anl the hopas and prayers of a nation. His handieap is an admittedly weakened physicai resistance. None of the five attendinz poysicians will predict th2 outcome, although ali are optimistic. TELEGRAMS. ST. CROIX STATION.

London, July 29:h.—A recommenda- tion for a reduction in the pay of new en- trance to the army is foreshadowed in a report of the select committee dealing with the army estimates, though no re- duetion is contemulated for the officers or men already in the army. Sir Charles Harris, a mensber of the army council, told the committee that there had been considerable increases in the pay of the officers and men. The army council, he said, could not preak its contracts, but "~ was prepared to coesider the matter of lower pay for the new entrants, in th2 service subsequently to a given date.

The commit- tee concur in this view. Paris, July 28th,— With the reparations situation at fever heat, Germany’s mone- tary system crashing into chaos ard an Anglo Freuch rupture discussed through- out Europe, France is fighting to gain new Allies, if she must lose old ones. The Poincare Government has won as Allies the state of Poland, (zecho-Slova- kia, Jugo-Slovakia and Rumania, four important countries whieh separate Ger- many from Russia. Not only has France loaned these Allies large sums to build up powerfu! armies, but she has also Jes- patened French officers to aid in the training of the armed forces. Thus if.
