CONSCIOUS AT INTERVALS
Grave Condition of First Lady of
Land known for Several Days
by Those in Touch with
White House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5,-Mrs. Woodrow
" ilson, wife of the president of the
president of the United States, lies at the
point of death tonight.
Four months of almost unbroken illness,
a complication OF nervous ailments and
Bright's disease, have sapped the vitality
of the first lady of the land. The end is
regarded as a matter of days, perhaps
hours. Her three daughters are at her
bedside and relatives have been sum-
moned. Physicians have been in CONSUL
tation for days, but It was admitted at the
White House tonight that hope for her
recovery had almost vanished.
Conscious only at intervals, Mrs. Wilson
has been cheerful and has called con-
stantly for her husband. Every moment
that could be spared from urgent official
duties have been devoted by the presi-
dent to his wife. At the side of his con-
slant helpmate and adviser, he wrote the
tender Of good offices appealing to the
European monarchs to stay their conflict.
From the sick room he has given di-
rections to the various department heads
for the relief of thousands of Americans
stranded abroad. The press OF domestic
legislation. the European war and Mexi-
can situation. and the furry over finan-
cial conditions throughout the country
have weighed heavily on the president as
he has maintained his day and night vigil.
For several days it has been known to
those, in close touch with the White
House that Mrs Wilson was grayely III
and that hope for her recovery was slight.
The president himself has clung desper-
ately to the hope that she might yet sur
Vive the crisis. but her frail constitu-
ton, drained by months of neverNendine
illness. has been unable to withstand the
battle.

U. S. NEUTRALITY
President Issues Proclamation Civ.
ing Position of America in
Crisis.
WARNING TO BEILIGERENTS
President Sets Forth Catalogue of
Things that Must Not BE Done
During HOstilities tn
Europe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Neutrality of
the United States in the great European
war was formally proclaimed today by
President Wilson. Reciting the fact that
"a state of war unhappily exists between
Austria Hungary and Servia and between
Germany and Russia and between Ger
many and France" with which powers
the United States is on terms OF friend
ship and amity. the president warned all
American citizens and foreigners resident
in the United States against violating the
neutrality laws.
Citizens of the United States abroad
were given notice that any misconduct on
their part would be at their own peril.
1t has been foregone conclusion that
the United States would be neutral and
in this connection virtually only one prob
lem has presented itself to the govern
nient. This has been furnished by the
activities OF the diplomatic and consular
agents OF the contending powers in round
ing up their reservists in America.
Differences of Opinion.
Large bodies Of men have been gath
cred at various points by German, French,
Russian and British representatives and
preparations are being made to trans
port them abroad as soon as an oppor-
tunity offers. In some quarters It has
been contended that this is in violation
OF the neutrality law. Officials here,
however. are inclined to hold that such
activities do not come within the inhibited
setting on foot OF military expedition. -
In constituting the law the supreme court
has held that 1t does not prohibit the
transportation from this country in the
same ship OF few or many men whose
known intention before leaving our shores
is TO engage in hostilities against the
forces of a foreign power, provided that
such men do not constitute a military
expedition or a military enterprise"
The proclamation of neutrality issued
today by President Wilson is as follows;
by the president Of the United States
OF America, a proclamation:
