Wilson and House
Continue to Improve

New York, Oct. 14.-Col. E. M.
House had a good night and his con-
dition continues to improve, it was
announced today by his SON. law,
Gordon Auchincloss.
Washington, Oct. 14.-There was a
fighting atmosphere about the White
House today.
With President Wilson unofficially
reported to have passed another good
night and to have held to the gains
that have marked the past week, 1t
was learned that any efforts to ad-
journ congress on the contention that
the president Is too ill to consider
any legislation that may be enacted
will meet with vigorous action from
the president himself. Tven should
such an adjournment be taken, it was
pointed out, the president has the
constitutional authority to call the
congress back into session again.
And this, it was learned, would be
done.
The attitude of the friends of the
president was this:
President Wilson has submitted a
program of constructive legislation
to congress. Let congress keep on
the jobA instead of being concerned
with unfounded rumors about the
presidents condition, and pass this
legislation. When the bills are sent
to the White House we will show
them that we have a president"
. Urge Flat Denial.
Administration leaders are being
urged by the presidents friends to
issue a statement that will fatty deny
all of the varied rumors that have
o;r si,
was forced to cancel his speaking
tour in the west Such statement,
if issued, would go into the case in
great detail and include, among other
things, a resume of the presidents 3
activities not only since his return to
the White House, but during the
seven years of his term-during
which. it was estimated, he has been
"on the job" with the exception of
two weeks prior to his present ILL
ness.
The president Is aware of the wide
spread reports that have been circu-
lated about his condition. This was
learned at the White House when it
was revealed that the president is
allowed now to read the daily news
papers. UP until recently this prac-
tice has been discouraged by Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his per-
sonal physician. The perusal of these
papers has made the patient more
anxious to get on his feet. it was
stated. =
Did Not Have RestfuI Night.
Although President Wilson did not
have a restful night, his general con-
dition today is good, il was announced
in the official bulletin issued from
the White House by Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson this afternoon.
The bulletin follows:
THE president did not have a rest
full night last night His restlessness
was caused by swelling of the pros
tate gland, a condition from which
he has suffered in the past, and which
has been intensified, more or less, by
his lying in bed. His general condi-
tion. however. is good. AS noted yes
terday his temperature, pulse, res
piration, heart action and blood pres
sure are normal.

confirmed, however.
The Reval correspondent of the
Daily Herald telegraphs that Won der

followers indicating that there might
be an alliance with Gen. Denikin.
(Gen. Denikin is the commander OF
the antibolshevik forces in south
Russia)
Hugo Haase, former German min
lister and socialist leader, made the
charge in a speech that the German
government is in compact with Gen
Denikin and Admiral Kolchak, leader
OF the antibolsheviks on the Siberian
front. Advices from Hugh Muir,

The foreign office discredits the re-
port concerning Grand Duke Cyril.
1t Is pointed uot that the grand
duke has no money, being compelled
to flee Russia to escape the bolshe-

Is more likely, 1t was said, that Won
