WILSON ASKS FOR
HIS SHIP, THE
GEO WASHINGTON
Deadlock in Conference Nav
Mean His Departure
PRESIDENT IS BETTER
He Wants to Resume Work on Tues
day-Dr. Grayson May Not Per-
NIT This

Paris, April 6.-At the Presidents
instance cable message was sent to
day to the Navy Department in
Washington, directing that the steam
ship George Washington be made
ready for another trip to Europe, and
asking how soon she might be expect
ed to arrived at a European port
The order for the return Of the
George Washington to Europe as
soon as possible means either that
the President has decided to go home
without making further effort to
harmonize the differences between
the allied Governments, or that COM
plete agreement is practically certain
to come by the time the George Wash
ington can reach these shores. 1t is
understood to mean that he is pre-
pairing for possible unpleasant eyentu-
alities, but with the hope that they
will not occur.
The reasons for dissatisfaction
over the Peace Conference situation
are too we'll known to need repetition.
It is sufficient to say that a strong
impression exists that European do
nestle policies have been largely re-
sponsible for the policy Of obstruc-
tion that has interfered with agree
ment on major points.
Paris, April 6.-President Wilson
remained in bed today, although an
official bulletin said that he was much
improved this morning.
The President slept well during
the night, and had normal tempera-
ture when he awoke.
The official statement issued this
morning said;
President Wilson had a good night,
and his temperature is normal He is
much better. but remains in bed to-
day
The President was so far on the
road to recovery that Admiral Gray
son permitted him to receive late
today the other American Peace
Commissioners.
The cold from which Mr.. Wilson
has been suffering appears to have
been broken. and unless complica-
tions ensue it is probable that he
win be able to resume in part his
work on Monday. The fever has dis
appeared, but the President is still
weak, and it is not expected that he
will leave his room before Tuesday.
