President Wilson back in Washington
at a. IN. Sunday.
The ride late this afternoon was
rather uncomfortable with much dust
and the weather was quite warm. But
the president seemed TO be standing ii
well.

brrdened as little as possible, SO his
rest may be undisturbed. Therefore,
since his Illness he has not seen news

on matters of state have been placed

He has TO some extent at least lost

spent his own vigor until he came to
the point Of collapse with his task
still unfinished. 1t had been reported
that delegation of senators planned
to call on him in Washington aud in
form him of the situation with regard
to reservations. However, he will
hardly be in condition to meet such
a delegation for some time TO come.

serted but as a precaution against
noisy throngs flocking around the
Mayflower the train almost always
avoided stations and stopped for water
and inspection at more or less isolated
spots The average speed fixed for
the run between Indianapolis and Co.
lumbus was said by railroad experts
to be So miles an hour. However, the
halts for water and inspection were
longer than usual owing to the stops
being made at out oft he-way places
where full facilities were lacking, and
TO make up time the Presidential spe-
cial roared along at dizzy speed at
intervals until 1t must have bettered a
mile a minute.
MAY GO SOUTH.
There was some speculation today
as to where the President would be
likely to spend a vacation. 1t was gem
orally believed he would go south, pos
sibly to Florida, unless his recovery is
more rapid than expected.
This was packing-up night on the
Presidential special. Some of the party
planned to drop off at Pittsburgh to
catch trains direct for New York.
Pictures Of the entire party were taken,
to be preserved in the White House
records. The President, however. was
too Ill to take his place in these pic
lures.

that the railroads of the country
should be purchased at public expense
and put under the control of the en-
ployes which means under control of
the unions.
THE president stated on the 9Th of
March in New York that we should
sacrifice the United States and he
seems to be in a fair way of accom-
plishing his purpose. That purpose, as
stated by him is internationalism, or
as he expresses it, the joining of our
fortunes with the fortunes of men
everywhere
He invited sedition and insurrec-
ton in Italy by appealing to the Ital-
ian people over the heads of the Ital-
ian government. He brought the Ital-
ian nation to the verge of civil war
as a result of his unwarranted inter
ference in the Eiume controversy.
He has sent American marines and
American ships of war to participa tie
there. They should be withdrawn i'm
mediately. 1t is an affront OF a
