they are practically prohibitive.

MRS. WILSON'S ILLNESS
IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN
President Has Been Constantly at
Her Bedside for Several
Days.

President Wilson has been at the bed
side of Mrs. Wilson almost constantly
for several days, and her protracted i'll
ness of several months is causing worry
in official circles.
II was while sitting beside his wife,
his constant helpmate and adviser. that
the President wrote his message to the
European crowned heads appealing to
them to stay their conflict and discuss
peace.
President Under Severe Strain.
Only those in closest touch with the
President have known of the severe
strain under which he has been during
the last fortnight. Not only the press
of domestic legislation and appoint
mc0t. but the burden of direction for
the relief of Americans abroad and the
precautions for preservation of stable
financial conditions at home have
fallen upon him.
No announcements have been made
about Mrs. Wilson's illness and per-
sons at the White House We're dis
posed to believe that she had slightly
improved, but her condition is never
theless causing considerable concern.
She first took sick last March, and, IT
is understood, has been suffering from
a complication of nervous ailments.

LUSITANIA LEAVES
EARLIER IN THE DAY
Warships Outside the Harbor Ex-

Across the Atlantic.

NEW YORK. August with band
blaring the "Marseillaise" and a tumult
of cheering afloat and ashore, the French
liner Lorraine set sail today for Havre,
probably the last for some time OF de-
parting liners to fly the French flag.
In cabins and storage she carried nearly
LOCO passengers, most of them french
reservists bound for Paris.
She was the only ship to leave port
today on a transatlantic voyage with the
exception of the Cunarder Lusitania,
which slipped past quarantine with dark
ened lights during the early hours OF the
morning
All other sailinss OF the French iine

next Saturday. unless there is change
in present plans. Several vessels reached
New York from European ports today,
among them being the President Lincoln

stirring tales of the fears of merchant
ships at sea.
La Lorraine and the Lusitania sailed in
the face Of danger OF capture by hostile
war craft, German cruisers having oeen
reported off the American coast. but
with their officers apparently confident
that English and French war vessels
could and would keep open transatlan-
tic lane for their merchant ships. Re
ports were that the Lusitania was to be
conveyed by a British cruiser. French
line officials said the Lorraine would have
no convoy.
Cruisers Outside.
Nevertheless La Lorraine delayed her
sailing two hours beyond the schedule,
SO that her captain, might hold last
minute conference with the captain OF
the Olympic. which reached New York
last night. 1t was reported that the
Olympic came into the harbor under the
guns of the British cruiser Essex. and
that the Essex would await the LuSi-
tania off Sandy Hook.
Aren't you afraid Of being captured?
some one asked Capt. Maurras OF La
Lorraine. a moment before sailing.
Il should worry" replied the captain,
smiling and struggling his shoulders.
In the face Of possible capture by Ger
man cruisers in the waters just outside
the harbor. the Cunard liner Lusitania
passed out to sea at 30 o'clock this
morning on what promised to be a
record breaking trip to Liverpool.
The German cruisers known to be only
a short distance off the coast are the

OF Harvey D. Human as the progress

scene in the conference. 1t is well known
that Sulzer is very much cast down be

the old original he-progressive patriarch
of the herd. But just now Col Roosevelt
is intent upon picking winner and Sulzer
does not come UP to form. Sulzer de-
elares he will ask for progressive votes
