PRESIDENT IMPROVING.
Fear That He May Overdo and
Have RELAPSE,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Official
Washington Wednesday anxiously
awaited the official bulletin on
President Wilson's condition.
Strictly gainst Dr. Garyson's ad-
vice, the president was allowed to
do more Wednesday than at any
time since his illness began and in
consequence he was greatly fa-
tigued.
The presidents physicians report
ed Wednesday, however, that Mr..
Wilson Tuesday night had one of
the best nights since he became ill.
DR.. Grayson saw in Tuesdays ac-
tion and in certain other acts of
the president recently a letting
down of the bars he has put up
against the handling of any but
the most urgent public business by
the president. He fears that, hav-
ing accomplished this much, the
president will continue along the
same lines until he is halted by a
relapse.
