the gravity of the international COM

upon him than his sincere friends and
admirers would wish. At no time be-
fore. since the beginning of his admin
tstration, has he shown so unmtstaka-
bly the seriousness Of the problems
with which he Is graphing. The Pres
ident has been greatly worried. It is
stated, over the speculation that has
been indulged in as TO the contents of
the second note he will send to Ger
many. He fears that an impression
will be created that will be permanent
and which cannot be removed when the
note itself bcomes public.
His Physical Health Good.
That the President is in good phys-
ical health, however, is reassuring to
his friends and to his physician, DR..
Cary Grayson. Under his physician's IS
directions the President has kept in
the fresh air as much as possible, play
ing golf and taking long automobile
rides. DR.. Grayson left Washington at
noon today to be absent three or four
days. and he would not have done this
but for the knowledge that the Presi-
dent was in good physical condition.
