ews.)-President Wilson will not be
back at work for a considerable
! length of time. Nobody aboard the
| presidential train can predict with

industrial conference, scheduled for
Oct 6, will be held at the White
House, but President Wilson, in all
probability, will not be permitted by

Washington to some quiet health re-
sort for the next few weeks The
presidents nervous breakdown is
perhaps the most serious illness he
has ever had, for it comes upon him
