WPFt,nStnn. Nov. I5.--rsars that
the result Of the election might
have disastrous effect in Presi-
dent Wilson's battle for health
has proved groundless. The presi-
: dent has accepted the verdict as a
, good loser would. With his friends
rhe has laughed and joked over the
result good naturedly. smiling when
slightly twitted in personal banter
ing.
! AT the last meeting of the cabi-
net, it was learned today, the cleo
| tIon and the result was subject of
! considerable levity, with the presi-
dent volleying his keen-witted sug-
Sestions whenever a member of his
! official family took occasion to con-
test with him in the merry game.
The cabinet session lasted for an
hour and 80 minutes and through
out the members of the cabinet
were impressed that Mr.. Wilson
mad suffered nc III effects physically
and that he had a warm, human
side and keen sense of humor."
AS at all cabinet meetings during
the presidents illness the members
Of the official family were called in
to the White House proper instead
OF the regular cabinet room in the
executive Office. The president was
seated in his accustomed place at
the head of the table when his Off
cial family entered, and he remain
ed seated throughout the meeting.
The president used his right arm
freely, but APPARENTLY his left arm
and leg were still somewhat i'm
paired. He Joined with great ami
nation and with keen incisiveness, .
which is one of his characteristics,
wlen any subject was being dis
cussed. -~

obtained by the delegation of pro-
league Republicans that recently
called at the White House. Even
though it was agreed that appar-
emily there are many years of life
ahead of Mr.. Wilson, there was an
acknowledged fear that any severe
shock might have a disastrous eff
Feet. 1t is known that Rear, Ad-
miral GraysOn, the White House
physician, is protecting the presi-
dent against any possibility of fail
ing health.
AT the same time. and even
though it was generally believed
that the president would never re-
cover from the war casualty he suf-
Tered in his battle for the league of
nations and during his cross-contin-
ent trip, it was also agreed that his
was as keen as ever. Sug-
costing as the after-administration ,
