Wilson Working Hard.
ITBy Carl d. Groat, I'm ted Press Staff
Correspondent
| PARIS. March 21.-President VIII.
son is working so hard that he has
no time for exercise or recreation ex-
lcept brief daily walks and he gener-
| ally takes these walks while enroute
| to some conference.
Usually the president has breakfast
at nine o'clock, then tackles mass OF
correspondence and important papers.
| He has to review many questions
which have been held up during his
absence. He mastered MUCH OF this,
but the work continues to pile up on
account of daily conferences with the
delegates.
When Wilson first arrived here
Rear Admiral Grayson recommended
golf at least three times a week but
the president declared he could not
consider this at present. He said II
he could work without being disturbed
he might try some golf, but that this
was impossible under present condl-
| lions. But despite the fact he has
been under an enormous strNn for
months and has still much work ahead,
he is keeping in good physical shape.

Opposition in England.
/ LONDON, March 21.-Opposition in
the American senate to the league of
nations is being reflected In the ultra
conservative British press which ap-
parently is seeking to kill the league
ior at least make it entirely subsidiary
to the material" guarantees against
war
Papers like the Globe and Post
greatly emphasize and reiterate that
President Wilson no longer repre-
sents America on the question of the
League of nations They appear to be-
tlieye that incorporation of the coven-
ant in the peace treaty will only mean
rejection of the treaty by the Amer1-
can senate thus undoing the whole
| lob These papers further declare
that vital European interests are be
ling sacrificed through the league for
the benefit Of America and other ma
lions of the new world.
There has been little talk of an
! Anglo American alliance since VIII
sons Guild hall speech, but many be-
Ilieye the anti-leaguers here are still
bopeful for such an alliance If they
can succeed in having the league
scrapped.
The most hopeful signs here for the
league are that the British govern
iment apparently is continuing to sup
port Wilson'S ideal and that the I'D
! eral conservative papers are sololy
for it.
