Illness would be the cause of little

Since his return the presidents work
has been enormous and he has been
unable to secure more than an occa-
sional walk at odd intervals either
with Mrs. Wilson or Rear Admiral
GraysOn. Golf has been dropped from
his schedule, and an automobile ride
now and then about the city has been
the presidents only form of recrea-
ton, supplementing the short walks.

stantly on the alert watching the
