Good Although He Did
Not Have Restful Night
Bu Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 14.-President
Wilson's condition was generally
good to-day, although he did not
have q restful night, according TO
the bulletin issued by his physicians
this morning.
The bulletin issued at 1915 p. m.
follows:
THE President did not have a
restful night last night. His rest
lessness was caused by swelling
of the prostate gland, a condition
from which he has suffered in the
past and which has been intensified
more or less by his lying in bed.
His general condition, however, is
good. AS noted yesterday, his tenn
perature, pulse, respiration, heart
action and blood pressure are nor
NAL.
Rear Admiral Grayson said the
swelling of the prostate gland was
quite common and no importance
should be attached to it. 1t is eX-
pected that Dr. Grayson will, how
ever, call in a specialist in order that
the President may be made more
comfortable.

More Government Food
May Be Sent to City

Harrisburg has another chance to
buy government food. In letter to
Mayor Keister yesterday some very
low rates were quoted. 1t is not GER
tain whether a supply will be pur~
chased for the city, for the Mayor
will not decide until he hears from
his municipal food committee.
1t is understood there are several
organizations in Harrisburg ready
to take charge of the food if ordered
by the Mayor. 1t is also said there
is a probability of the city being
able to get food at prices much less
than were paid, and the supply to
include canned fruit, meats of all
kinds, and probably blankets. AS
soon as Mayor Keister RECEIVERS he
will first ascertain what the COM
mittee will do and will then con-
slider the proposition from the sew
eral local organizations willing to
handle the food.

Lodge said, and he predicted that
she would use China's vast manpow-

America and Europe.
cit is impossible to see," said
Senator Lodge, how any conscien-
tious American can consent to any
act or treaty that will extend the
power of such nation as Japan

cially when the United States de-
liberately drew China into the war
with at least an implied If not an

HARRISBURGNAVY
SEEKS TO DEVELOP
SPORTS FOR RIVER
Plans to Be Discussed at Ban
uuet in Penn-Harris
Thursday

The idea of plans of the greater
Harrisburg Navy for development of
Harrisburgs wonderful recreation
facilities on the river. may be obtain
ed from the report or the committee
on bylaws which will be presented
at the boos ter banquet at the Penn
Harris Thursday evening.
Warren H. Manning will be the
principal speaker at Thursday eve
ning's affair, which by the way had
inadvertently been announced would
be held at another date. A number
of prominent Harrisburg citizens
who are interested in development
plans will also speak and the med
ais and cups won at the big Labor
Day Kipona will be awarded the sue
cessful contestants.
The committee on bylaws has
drawn up a report which will out
line the aims of this newer organi-
zation to sponsor river development
and aquatic sports and outline how it
intends to make these plans realities.
"The purpose of the Navy" quot
ing from the report. will be to
awaken public interest in Harris
burg's wonderful natural advantages
for healthful recreation on the Sus-
quehanna River, and to secure de-
velopment of these advantages
tt rough the erection of adequate mu-
nicipal boat storage facilities. bath
ing beaches and houses, clearing the
river channels of dangerous rocks,
obtaining such measures as will safe
guard life and property on the river,
holding the annual Kipona and other
regattas from time to time, and 9TH
erwise foster public interest in the
value of the Susquehanna> as one of
Harrisburg's assets"
OF course the first step in working
out these comprehensive plans is to
secure passage of the proposed $40,-
600 loaA for bathing beaches in the
river which will be before the voters
at next months election. The next
step will probably be 10 make some
provision for canoe storage to take
care of the changes provided by the
Hardscrabble improvements.
Canoe or boat owners, swimmers
or any other person interested in riv-
Ell development for recreation pur-
poses shall be eligible to membership
and it is believed that the younger
men who are interested in the river
will turn out in good force at Thurs
days booster affair. The time for
sending out invitations is too short
and the committee has invited all
canoeists to attend without the for
mality of an invitation. The banquet
starts at Gas o'clock in the Penn-Har-
ris ball room end tickets may be OBJ
tanned from Ira C. Kinder. chairman
of the committee. or at any of the
downtown sporting goods stores.
Government of the navy will be
vested in an executive committee
with an admiral and admiralty board
as advisers. The executive commit
tee will consist of 10 members who
will be elected at Thursdays affair
The admiral will be selected at the
same time.

indication of influenza this winter,
according to speakers at the con-

in session here to-day.
Colonel Victor c. Vaughn, in an
address, declared the fouler the
atmosphere and the more bacteria
one breathes the more immune he
would be of disease. This was proved,
he said, by statistics compiled dur
ing the war, which showed that tile
greatest death rate from disease
was among men from rural districts.

serted, "is accustomed to breathing
filthy air, while the country bred
is not, and consequently foul at
