Garrison has been noti- fled of the lifting of all quarantines and other restrictions in the Eastern states against the spread of infantile paralysiss, as the disease is under control, and fear of further contagion has passed.

M morning and went carefully over m III tho evidence collected so far. There was every indication that the presi- aant has received no information ne- a..sitating drastic action by the American government.
 Tho nresident has on his programme ioday conferences with Secretary Lansing and Jules Jusserand, French ambassador to the United States. MT. Iorsng did not come until late this afternoon and took dinner with the nresident and remained at Shadow Lawn overnight. Ambassador Jusse- rand had a personal letter from President Poincare to MT. Wilson on Polish relief, but it was expected that the new German submarine activities would be discussed.
 It was not believed that the Ameri- can government would take any inn mediate action on developments to date in the renewal of German sub marine activities, but serious consid- eration was given to the question of whether attacks on merchantmen so near the American coast do not con- stitute virtual blockade of American ports.
 James ". Gerard, American am- basSador to Germany, who arrived in New York today from Germany, is not expected to see President Wilson until next week. It was stated au- thoritatively that Mir. Gerard does not come on any peace mission and that his trip has no connection with sub- marine warfare, but that he is simply on vacation
 President Wilson plans to leave Shadow Lawn tomorrow afternoon for Indianapolis, where he will speak twice Thursday afternoon. It was sad here today that he had shown nc indication of cancelling the Indian apOlls trip, which was taken as a sign mat so far he does not consider the submarine situation critical.
 The president had an engagement to take lunch here today with William r. McCombs, Democratic nominee fo, uhlled States senator from New iOfS Vance C. Mccormick, chair. man or the Democratic National Com. mlttee, also was expected here for q conference.
