WAsH1NGToN, Oct Is. - President
Wilson's condition is practically un-
changed to-day. He had good
nights rest and suffered less discom-
fort from the swollen prostate gland.
No fresh complication appeared. A
slight headache was reported in the
morning bulletin. but otherwise the
developments were about as Reer Ad-
miral Grayson expected.
1t appears now that the public must
not expect any real change in the
tenor of the bulletins for some days
to come. Nothing decisive in the way
OF a change can possibly be announced
il was explained. If matters progress
favorably the day by day announce
ments must be simply repetitiops,
having no decisive bearing on the case,
but constituting stepping stones to-
ward the long progress Of hoped for
complete recovery.
A new light on the possibilities of
the near future is shown, however. in
, the statements rejecting the interest
the President is now beginning to take
| in public affairs, despite the efforts OF
his physicians to keep his mind free
from all cares and worries. This may
mean that the President, If he re.
gains in strength, will be permitted
\ gradually to take up a minimum oi
interest in executive matters, but will
rot be allowed to leave his bed for a
considerable time.
1t therefore may be that the Presi-
dent from his bed. will be in q condi.
tion to conduct affairs of the Govern
ment, even though it might be months
before he would be permitted to leave
his room.

ULTIMATUM BY
BRITISH AT RIGA
Supreme Council Offended at
Independent Action in
the Baltic.
FRENCH ARE AGGRIEvED
News Reached Paris Only on
Day Bombardment Was
to Begin.
By Sfdf Correspondent Of THE Sun.


PARIS, Oct. l5.-Apparently acting in
dependently of the Supreme Council of
the Peace Conference and greatly to
the surprise OF its members, British
naval forces in the Baltic have deliv-
cred an ultimatum to Col. Avaloff Ber-
mondt, the Russian commander who
giving him until noon to-day to evac-
uate the suburbs of Riga under penalty
OF bombardment by the feet.
This action not only caused surprise
in the Peace Conference, but APP
parently was taken without the knowl-
the Supreme Council. Confirmation OF
the report that such an ultimatum had
been delivered was received in Paris
about the time the ultimatum was due
to expire.
The French seemed to he particularly
upset by this development, regarding ii
as an attempt by the British to pursue
an independent policy in the Baltic when
the Supreme Council has taken charge
of the matter through the note which II
sent to Germany. For some days the
French newspapers have been charging
that the British are attempting to con-
troll the Baltic situation in their own in
terests.
1t was even asserted In some quarters
that the latest British move was made
without the knowledge of Premier Lloyd
George and that possibly II was inspired
BY Winston Churchill, the Secretary foI
War.

President to Be Permitted to Take Up Executive Mat
ters if Physical Rest Is Continued.

The physical activity, 1t now ap-
pears, it considered more dangerous to
the Presidents health than mental ac-
tivities, although curtailment of both
is regarded by his physicians as of
paramount Importance.
In response TO the suggestion that
the President might undertake to over
ride the suggestions of his physicians
and resume work it is clearly inti-
mated that any such course would be
physically impossible. Speedy reaction
would follow physical effort and make
it clear to the President that the ad-
vice of his physicians must of neces-
sity be followed

PARIS. Oct. 15.-It is impossible to
conceal longer that the illness of Pres
ident Wilson is placing the American
delegates to the peace conference in
an embarrassing position.
1t appears that Under Secretary
Polk already has been obliged to cable
tc Washington virtually asking who
is running the Government. This was
prompted by lack of information
received by the commission, even
through official channels, as to what
is going on in Washington and what
person or persons are attempting to
take the place of the President as a
coordinating factor in the work of the
different departments so far as 1t re-
lates to matters now before the peace
conference.
The commissioners are chary of dis
cussing the situation as it is affected
here, because they are fearful Of SEEM
ing to give official credence to the
alarming reports regarding the Pres
ident's condition. which for some days
have been exciting Europe, but il is
known that they are much disturbed
over the possible lack Of coordination
In Washington.
1t seems to be the belief in the COM
mission that the Cabinet in Washington
