Special Despatch to THE sUN.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.--A large and
apprehensive crowd which gathered in
the waiting room and about the sta
ton when the Presidents special train
arrived after its continuous run Of
two and half days from the West
expected to see an i'll and even feeble
Executive. Mr.. Wilson did not give
that appearance. The train came in
at 1905 A. NJ. and few minutes later
the President came through the sta
ton.
He was smiling. and walked ursup-
ported. Those who saw him leave
for his tour were able to distinguish
little alteration of his appearance. He
nodded and bowed to those nearest
him as he walked to the automobile
waiting outside. There was some
theering, a good deal OF 1t from re-
lief, no doubt, that the seriousness
which attended the first announce
ments Of the Presidents condition
when he decided to abandon his
speechmaking would perhaps now
give way to more encouraging re-
ports.
DR.. Cary T. Grayson issued a state
ment just before the train arrived,
stating that the President had had a
poor nights rest. but that he was
doing as well as could be expected
| in the circumstances.

bv the White House car In which was
his daughter. Miss Margaret Wilson.
The President assisted Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Margaret into the automobile ana
climbed in beside them There was an
! other cheer as the car started away.
Goes for Motor Ride.
EXCEPT for a motor ride OF two hours
through Rock Creek Park the Presi-
dent remained in seclusion the rest Oh
the day, retiring early. From the White
House tonight DIR. Grayson Issued
bulletin which said:
! The President had fcifly COM
| Portable day. He had a short motor
| ride this afternoon.
The Presidents special started home-
ward from Wichita, Kan, on FRIDAY
and in the long. fast flight of the tram
over the next sixty hours the President
slept and rested. BY DIR. Grayson
orders he remained in bed most OF the
journey. The motor ride In the AFTER
noon was taken at DR.. Grayson's dIrec-
tions to relieve the fatigue OF con-
anement and tedium Of the train.
Several days of complete rest from
official cares will follow. DR.. Graysor
insists that his patient must be permit
ted to obtain entire freedom from al
| foI xxyhi lob
the nervous condition.
Tentative plans have been made fol
the postponement of the visit Of Kins
| Albert, Queen Elizabeth and Crown
Prince Leopold at the White House until
after they have made a tour OF the
country. The President, according tc
the plans previously announced by the
State Department. was to entertain the
royal visitors next Saturday. Sunday
and Monday. The rapidity OF his re-
covery, which seems now in fair way
to be realized within a few days, will
govern this arrangement.

Washington. 1t has been noted tha
European political and diplomatic cor
respondents persisently have assumed
that President Wilson had many com
mitments outstanding in Europe which
apparently it was impossible for him L
execute until the peace treaty should b.
ratified. These. It is understood, relat'
especially TO four phases of the Euro

Two Pending Resolutions.
