PAPERS GIVING PROMINENCE TO
 WILSON'S CASE
TIVE CHIEF; JOURNAL SAYS NO DIPLOMAT CAN REPLACE HIM IN COUNCILS.

PARIS. Oct. 4.-(P)-The illness of President Wilson is being given greater prominence by the newspa- pers of this city than any other news, domestic or foreign. Bulletins are received by them as they are issued from the White House, and every paper comments freely on the seri- ousness of the case.
 The Journals writer commenting on the fact that it removes him from his customary place in the worlds councils, declares that none can re- place him. His greatest collabor- aters, Messrs. Lansing and House, many times did not approve of all of Wilson's initiative, but the sound ness of his judgment is being vim dicated every day"
 The Echo de Paris, deploring the Presidents sickness, and after eX- pressing hope for speedy recovery by him, remarks that it is an ill- wind that blows no good and that even out of this some benefit may be derived by even MT. Wilson, since his illness means that the American senate can hardly continue a fight on him while he is heIpIess to de- fend himself and the opposition to the league, losing it's counter, will inevitably lose some of the force of it's violence.
