oy saying that the two facts con-
stituted q combination OF circum-
stances which absolutely prevented
the President from even thinking
of work.
We'll. that's So" acquiesoed the
President.
The President remained in he'd all
OF Sunday and DR.. Grayson has no
immediate intention Of releasing
him from his confinement. "Ouiet
and rest" are the order of the day
and the keynote of the entire sit
uation- All the physicians CON

condition OF former health and ac-

Grayson Cheered.
II Is easy to realize the circum-
stances DR.. Grayson was up against
The Presidents chief strength has
been his nervous reserve. He has
never been robust physically. His
cross country trip used all his nery-
Gus strength, and he was thrown
back on his depleted physical
strength. Then came his inability
TO take nourishment. and the ex-
haustion of his physical forces be-
gan. The rest prescription has
temporarily arrested further depIe-
ton OF his nervous strength, and
his system has come around to the
point where he can take nourish-

That part OF the White House,
where the President Is making his
Tight for recovery, was described yes
terday as akin to the ordinary sick
room" Mrs. Wilson and the Presi-
dents daughters are often in evil
dence. moving silently from one room
to another. DR.. Grayson is about at
all hours of tho day and night, as
are the nurses, who are In attendance
upon the President. DR.. Grayson spent
Saturday night at the White House
as has been his custom ever since the
President has taken seriously i'll. The
members OF the Presidents family are
cheerful and hopeful, and Mrs. Will
son. especially, is bearing up well un-
der the strain. With the possible ex-
ception of DR.. Grayson, she has been
the busiest person connected with tie
Presidents illness.
Under the "one-at-a-tIme" rule OF
DR.. Grayson, the President saw all
members of his family yesterday for
brief periods.
The announcement from Paris OF
the return to the United States from

Presidents nearest friend. was the
subject of conjecture at the Capital
today. Col. House is expected to come

OVER 1000 IDEAS
FOR HUNS DEFEAT

Washington May 21,-The latest
war secret to leak out is how friendly
inventors all over the world gave to
the United States their ideas for
death dealing machines for the de-
struction of Germany. :.
A companion secret is how all
these ideas were kept from the enemy
by the "seven serious sphinxes' OF
the patent office. This was board
of seven men, of unquestioned 10y
atty and sworn to secrecy, empower
ed to examine and withhold patents
on war machinery until the war was
over and meanwhile turn ideas of
promise over to the government.
More than 1000 devices which it
was thought might be of value to the
United States or the Allies were
pdSSSu upOI anu 1UU were important
enough to get before military authori-
ties. Some of them, it is said, helped
win the war.
The ideas came from England,
France, Switzerland, Hawaii, New
Zealand, Mexico, Spain, italy, Russia,
Poland-and one came from Ger
many.
OF course large number came
from within the United States. Now
that the war is over the patents are
being allowed. These activities of
the patent office are disclosed in
the current exposition Of the inter
ior departments work being held
her.

GOVERNOR Stations NEPHEW
MADE MAJOR IN FRANCE

Atlanta, Ga, May 22-William F.
Slaton, son of William NJ. Slaton,
former superintendent of schools of
this city, and a nephew of Former
Governor John M. Slaton, has been
promoted in France to the rank of
major, according to cablegram re-.
ceived by a member Of his family in
Atlanta.
Major Slaton was a rising young
lawyer at the Atlanta bar when the
United States declared war on Ger
many. He at once forsook his prac-
tice, entered the first officers train
ing camp at Fort Mcpherson, and
graduated with commission as lieu
tenant. Volunteering for immediate
service overseas, he was sent to
France in the early summer of 1917
and was assigned to duty with an in
fantry company of the famous Second
Division, which was chosen by Gen
eral Pershing to stop the German rush
at ChateauThierry in the critical
days in the latter part of May, 1918,
when the fate of civilization hung in
the balance. The Second Division not
only stopped the Hun but drove back
the famous Prussian Guard and turn
ed the tide of battle in favor of the
Allies.
In subsequent fighting the division
was repeatedly used by Marshal FAch
as the spear head of his sledge ham
| mer offensives which broke the morale
of the German army, beat them back
in deadly pocket and forced the
surrender that ended the war Major
Slaton was in the thick of the fight
ing up to the armistice, but luckily
| came through without a scratch, al
though many of his comrades were
killed and wounded by his side. He
is now attached to the headquarters
| staff of the Second Division in Cob
| LEM, Germany, where the division is
stationed as part of the American
| Army of Occupation.
