WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.- President
Wilson began to-day the rest cure"
which Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
his personal physician, prescribed for
him as result of his attack OF ner-
vous exhaustion brought on by his
speaking trip 10 the Pacific Coast.
The President spent another restless
night, but made up for it somewhat
by sleeping from early morning until
nearly noon. In the afternoon he
went for an hours automobile ride in
the parks. The rest of the day he
spent quietly In his room. with not a
minute given to consideration of pub
lie business.
So insistent is DIR. Grayson upon
period OF complete relaxation for the
President that he will not be per-
rnitted to see any OF the Senate leaders
who are conducting the fight for rati-
fication of the peace treaty. This sub
iect, although close to the Presidents
thoughts, has been shelved temporar-
lily.
These precautions. White House Of
ficials say. are not taken because OF
any change in the Presidents condition
or because of a mistaken diagnosis
originally. DR.. Grayson repeats that
the Presidents illness is not alarming
but that It possibly may become 80 un-
less his patient rests. Some days Will
have to pass. 1t was said at the White
House, before the exact extent of Mr..
Wilson'S illness could be determined
and the chief aim was to prevent COM
plications. Early to-day Or. Grayson

munication OF the day. II said:

night, but is sleeping this morning.

tically certain.
