OTTAWA, Feb. II, 2:2O A. M.-The
condition of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, for
mer Premier Of Canada, who was
stricken with paralysis at his home
here yesterday, was reported worse"
early this morning
Sir Wilfrid was stricken while he
was dressing for church yesterday
morning. 1t was two hours before he
recovered consciousness.
Sir Wilfrid attended luncheon Of
the Canadian Club on Saturday, worked
at his office in the afternoon, and was
said by his friends to have shown no
sign of fatigue in connection with his
duties as leader of the Opposition. He
has been extremely busy, however, Of
late, preparing for the session of
Parliament which opens Thursday. He
was also engaged in organizing the
Ontario Liberal conventions.
Sir Wllfrld is nearly seventy eight
years old.
The physician attending Sir Wilfrid
issued bulletin last night saying that
his patient was in "no immediate dan

Il do not think there is at present
any cause for grave anxiety, but at Sir
Wilfrid's age such an attack must
necessarily give rise to concern" said
the physician.

Herein is q possibility of waste OF
time, which Marshal Foch, who is fully
empowered, will not countenance.
