Paris, April 4.-Until late today no specific bulletin was issued concerning the condition of President Wilson. Were Tit not for the fact that the Presi- dent had been under a terrific strain and deprived of his usual amount of exercise his illness would be the cause of little worry.
 Since his return the Presidents work has been enormous and he has been unable to secure more than an occa sonal walk at odd intervals, either with Mrs, Wilson or Rear Admiral Grayson. Golf has been dropped from his schedule, and an automobile ride now and then about the city has been the Presidents only form of recrea- ton, in addition to the short walks.
 Rear Admiral Grayson has been con- stantly on the alert watching the Presi dent for signs of a breakdown, espe- cially since the two days on board ship when the President was slightly i'll.
 Other physicians have not been called in for consultation and up to midday Friday the services of no trained nurses had been solicited, but Mrs. Will son has been always within reach of her husband, doing practical work and assisting in the care of him.
 Rear Admiral Grayson is always nearby the President. His treatment for the patient for the most part con sists of the requirement. of absolute quiet and rest.
 The Presidents appetite today was good, but at luncheon he was limited to oyster soup and a light entree.
 The American executive, however, is sick enough to make him not care to read. He appears to be quite content to rest, and sleeps lightly from time to time.
 After the forenoon session of the council today the members on depart ing renewed their wishes for the rapid recovery of President Wilson.
 IS NOT INFLUENZA
 Study of the case has caused Rear Admiral Grayson. the Presidents phy- sician. to reach the conclusion that the President is not suffering from influ- enza. but that the severity of the cold is such that the patient will require careful watching.
 With Colonel House in the place of President Wilson the premiers met this afternoon at the war office, but agreed to meet tomorrow at the Presi- dents house for the purpose of con- sulting him, if his condition has suf- fciently improved, should question arise to make it necessary.
 The illness of President Wilson has caused numerous wild rumors to cir culate in the city, and not even the delegates themselves are immune. Col onel House had heard that the Presi- dent was really down with case of influenza. but Rear Admiral Grayson personally assured both him and the premiers that MT. Wilson merely had a bad cold. He warned them, how ever, that the utmost care must be ex- ercised to prevent it from getting worse
 Informally the proceedings of the council were related to the President. King Albert of Belgium, who pre- sented his country's case to the coun- cil today, made an excellent impress sion, but is understood to have bean given no promises. The Czecho- o-Slovak question was again discussed today, as was reparations.
 The council resolved. for the sake ot facilitating it's work. that the decisions of the various commissions be sent di- rectly to those engaged in drafting the treaty Colonel House at the close of the day said he was pleased With the progress made. and Capt. Andre Tardieu of the French delegation also expressed satisfaction.
