The trouble dates back to an attack of influenza last April in Paris, from which he has never en- tirely recovered. The presidents ac- tivities on this trip have overtaxed his strength and ne is suffering from ! nervous exhaustion His condition is not alarming, but it will be necessary 1 for his recovery that he have rest and quiet for considerable time.
