WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.President
Wilson. who returned 20 Washington
to-day after a tour of Western states
continuing nearly a month, will devote
a major portion of this week to com
pete rest, it was said to-day at the
White House. Under no consideration
will the President be permitted to take
sny active part IN the peace treaty
controversy, and problems that con
front the nation at the present time
will not he permitted to be presented
10 him until he has had several days
rest
After arriving at the Union Station
at II O'Clock this morning the Prcsl-
dent and Mrs. Wilson were driven to
ne White House, where they remained
in seclusion until a o'clock, when q
short motor ride over the speedway
along the Potomac River for several
miles was taken. The President did
not attend church services and spent
practically the entire day resting in
MS room,
That Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
lie Presidents physician, feels uneasi
ness because of M~. Wilson's illness
Was evidenced tonight, when it became
known that several specialists are to
be called in this week for & consulta-
ton. Who the physicians would be
sas not made known.
State Matters to Wait
Until the visit of the specialists to
the White House DR.. Grayson insists
That Mr.. Wilson must have absolute
rest and quiet. Pressing state matters
must await the attention OF the Chief
Executive until he is stronger. it was
mtimated. Until the middle of the
week, it is thought. the President will
!. not see any visitors. Whether the
President will open the conference of
employers and employees next Monday
will depend on the improvement made
in his condition this week.
When the Presidents train came into
Union Station Mr.. Wilson was up and
dressed for the first time since he was
prostrated by nervous exhaustion short
y after leaving Pueblo, Col. late
Thursday night.
Notwithstanding the constant care
snd watchfulness on the part of Dr..
Grayson and Mrs. Wilson on Saturday
night the President had poor night,
and when he left the car Mr. Wilson
looked haggard
The Presidents car was the last OF
| Alne composing the train. and soon
! r. he and Mrs. v Nilson headed for the
( station exits there was a round of
J tandclapping. followed ny cheers from
he crowd standing behind the iron
gates near the exits.
| President Looks Worn
I The President looked worn and tired,
Vbut his expansive smile greeted famil-
! ar faces and he wished the CORE
spondents CHEEKY good morning as he
| passed them on the station platform.
Mrs. Wilson also was in better spirits
han she had been, and reminded the
newspaper men who had been in the
Presidents party that they we're all
due at the White House on Monday
afternoon for tea which she had ar
ranged on her way home.
Or. Grayson shook hands with the
correspondents shortly before the train
pulled into Washington, and repeated
MS prediction that the Pres dent would
soon be able to resume his active duties,
following good rest. Secretary Jo
seph ?. Tumulty and his assistant,
Thomas Brehany, also added to the at

Train Is Speeded Up
Because of q desire on the part of
10Th the President and Mrs. Wilson to
set home as soon as practicable, the
nomegoing schedule of the special
traln was a fast one. The word went
gown the line of the Pennsylvania from
81 Louis that the road must be cleared
'or the special and the pilot train
"nlch preceded it.

sne occupants of the Mayflower until
