WILSON ON WAY TO HEALTH.
Presidents Condition Such ~ to
Cause Encouragement.

Washngton.-The favorable trend
of President Wilson's condition contin-
ues. and there is every reason to be-
lieve that he is on the road to re-
covery.
The president wanted to go to work
Sunday, and this constituted another
encouraging sign. He asked Admiral
Grayson what the news of the day
was, then requested permission to send
for two of the White House steno-
graphers so he might start in catching
up In his work. But the doctor re-
minded him that it was Sunday, and
the president acqulesced In the doc
tors request that he remain quiet.
The presidents appetite is improv-
ing and he sleeps better than for some
time, which causes his physicians to
express hopes for an early recovery.

sdary ~ anytt+1 klndA
Its eastern shore bounds on one side
and the most stricken territory Id the
world Five million people are at the
point of starvation east of the river
Bug. according 70 figures given out by
the American Jewish Relief committee,
and compiled by the American Red
Gross, and American Jewish relief
agents A great number of them are
Jews. The war has left 6,OOO,0O0 desti-
tute and stricken Jews in eastern En-
rope, number as great as the entire
population of New York City, utterly
helpless, in many cases sick, in every
ease hungry and dependent.
East of the river Bug these people
are living In devastated houses, in
stalls of old stables, on roofless plat
forms built for refugee families, one
family to a platform, in old freight
ears, in holes in the ground, or under
the open sky They are weak from
many months of semi-starvation, for
they have gone for five years with
out one square meal. They are still
terror-stricken from the war Their
number is being reduced every day by
series of the most terrible epidemics
that ever swept any section OF the
world.
Typhus, cholera and smallpox are all
raging in the territory east of the
river Bug. No estimate of the actual
number of those smitten with typhus
in Poland has yet been compiled, but it
probably is greater than in Siberia.
where the American Red Cross found
100000 cases.
Dirt and, malnutrition Are the two
great causes of the epidemic Of dis
ease. All through Poland may be found
children of eight or ten years old
no larger than youngsters half their
age ordinarily are. Two out of three
infants do not survive their first year
of life. The average child in the ter
ritory east of the Bug river has never
tasted milk, even mothers milk. Amer
lean Red Cross investigators say that
an abnormal number of children are
born blind because of the malnutrition
of their mothers.

RAIL STRIKE BROUGHT TO A
CLOSE AS A RESULT OF
COMPROMISE.
Men Agree to Return to Work Pend
ing Negotiations of tho Wage Status
Under Guarantee Of Settlement
by Cetober 81.


L. 'a cn-
e1 u etn1ipfumise with the rAilvav
mems union and the intermediary
union representatives at conference
ut No. 10 Downing street.
The men agreed to return to work
forthwith, pending negotiations of the
Wslge status under the guarantee that
there win be settlement by October
81, and conditionally upon the govern
ment's guarantee that there will be
no reduction in wages before Septem-
ber 30, 1870
The men received the additional
guarantee from the government that
no railway workers are to receive less
than about $1230 weekly instead Of
about S4.40 paid them before the war,
as long as the cost Of living is not less
than 110 per cent above the pre-war
level.
This agreement slaves off the great
has ever known-the worst crisis Of
any time, except way, in the past CEN
tury.
The government has yielded to the
strikers insistence by guaranteeing to
keep up wages.
The rail men yielded by returning to
work pending the stabilizing Of wages.
Meanwhile the crisis in the negoti-
ations is only postponed until the end
of this month"; but the situation is such
that it is believed an agreement Is
likely by that time, in which case the
controversy viii be delayed whole
year.
Both sides were mobilizing the en-
tire nation for the bitterest trades
union struggle known to the English
speaking races. All British unions
had prepared to meet Tuesday to de-
clare general strike and the govern
ment was marshalling a citizens army
and all civic authorities at the same
time holding hack of these the armed
strength of the country.
