in the senate situation, the president,
his friends feel, has every reason to
be encouraged by the results of his
tour so far as the League of Nationa
is concerned.
In the senate this week, actual
consideration Of the Fall amendment
is scheduled to begin. Senator Fall.
in his remarks on the amendment
which are designed to eliminate the

health permits. is expected to issue
statement containing a number
of arguments for ratification of the
peace treaty, which his breakdown
prevented him from making in
speeches at Little Rock, Oklahoma
City, Louisville and Memphis.
Before he became Ill, it was learn
ed that he had something up his
sleeve"--that he was saving ammu-
milton for the concluding addresses
of his tour. His idea apparently was
to finish his drive for ratification In
such manner that worldwide att
tention would be riveted on 1t, re-
turning co Washington primed for q

ton of the treaty. Illness prevent
ing this climax 1t was considered

night last night, but was sleeping
this morning, Rear Admiral Gray

'"The president passed a restless
night, but was sleeping this morn@
ing"

what refreshed after his Steep.
The round-table industrial con-
ference set for October 6 will meet
despite the illness Of President Wil+
son, it was said at the White House
today. The president, however, Will
probably be unable to take any part
in the sessions.
TO Receive Pershing

position that the industrial situation
cannot be permanently stabilized and
food prices and taxes reduced until
peace is established by treaty rati-
fication.

receive Immediately Viscount Grey

here Saturday, but when his health
permits him to see visitors, Viscount
