Crowds at Stations

heard above the clinking of the wheels,
but the President, in spite Of the racket.
with the help of Mrs. Wilson and DR..
Grayson, gets in little sleep
Or. Grayson is entirely frank in his
talk with the CORES spondents, and does
not try to conceal his apprehension
over the Pres ident's condition. His Of
fetal bulletin described the ailment as
physical exhaustion" and the feeling
is general that the President NAV be
in for long sick spell. His cough
does not abate He contracted it in
Paris, and during two Of his addresses
he stopped to apologize for it. 1t is

son would wish and prevents sound
slumber.
By remaining in bed nearly all dav
the President was said to have regained
, some Of the loss Of strength which fol-
lowed his nervous attack of yesterday,
Mr.. Wilson sat up a short time dur
ing the early afternoon. but DR.. Gray
son, enforcing strictly his rule of abso-
Lutte rest, did not permit his patient to
give attention to executive affairs or
to exert himself in any other way.
The physician spent virtually the en-
tire day with the President and in
sisted on keeping his mind away from
the cares of his Office and of the treaty
fight.
Wife Acting as Nurse
During the entire day Mrs. Wilson,
too, was in constant attendance upon
her husband, insisting upon acting as
his. nurse and ministering in person to
many of his wants.
DR.. Grayson seemed particularly
pleased at the rest which the Pres-
dent WAS able to get during last night
and this morning. Throughout the
evening and early night Mr. Wilson
had been restless, but in the early
morning he fell into q sound sleep
which lasted for several hours AL
though still weak, h rest during the
night helped him to pass n more com
Portable day.
