On Physicians Insistence Cam
paign for Treaty Closes at
Wichita, Kansas.
WILSON STARTS HOME
Digestive System Affected by Reac-
zion From Nervous Strain-Condi
ton Not Serious but Abso-
lutte Rest Held Necessary.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 27.-Worn out
by more than three weeks of speech
making for the peace treaty, Presi-
dent Wilson cancelled the remainder
of his speaking dates and decided to
return at once to Washington.
Although it was said there was
nothing critical about the Presidents
condition, DR.. Grayson. his physician,
declared a nervous reaction affecting
his digestive organs made suspension
Of his trip imperative.
Mr.. Wilson was i'll most of the night
and the decision to return at once to
the capital was reached just before
his train arrived at Wichita. The
President himself wanted to continue
his speaking program, but DR.. Gray
son would not permit it.
Leaving Wichita after a stop Of
about two hours, the presidential spe-
cial left for Washington, going by
way of Kansas City and st. Louis.
The train did not pull into the sta
ton at Wichita where a large crowd
was waiting to welcome the Presi-
dent. Although he wanted to at least
greet the people here, DR.. Grayson
would not permit him to leave his
private car.
Tumulty Issues Statement.
Secretary Tumulty issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The President has exerted himself
SO constantly and has been under
such a strain during the last year and
has so spent himself without reserve
ON this trip that it has brought on a
reaction in his digestive or
gans.
"Dr. Grayson, therefore, insists up
On the cancellation of his remaining
appointments and his immediate re-
turn to Washington, Notwithstanding
the Presidents earnest desire to COM
plete his engagements"
Although outwardly the President
had appeared to be standing well the
hard ordeal of more than three weeks
of travel and speechmaking, it be-
came known that for some days he
had suffered from headaches. He
also has been much fatigued by the
confinement on his special train, in
terrupted only by brief stops which
have been spent mostly in riding
through crowds and speaking to au-
diences so large as to require all his
exertion to make his voice heard.
Nearly 40 Speeches Made.
Mr.. Wilson has made nearly 40
speeches since he left Washington on
September 3 and has spent all but
about half a dozen nights on the
train. Five addresses remained OF
his uncompleted schedule.
Since the trip began the President
also has been suffering from a slight
cough which, several times has
caused his voice to break while. he
was speaking. To one audience he
la%ughingly remarked that it was "the
remains of a Paris cold" but both he
and DR.. Grayson have treated it
lightly. The real cause of his indis-
position it was said was the nervous
strain of his arduous program, which
was one of the most strenuous yer
undertaken by a president.
