Warming Finds Expression,
The Ebert followers are undoubt-

accompanying warning are express

from the article:

words, a Wilson man."
The result of such a return to the
center Of the stage by the President
would be a worldwide sensation
which might fire public enthusiasm
and regain for Wilson any popu-
larity which he may have lost, in
the opinion of those who are prone
to credit the report.
The story apparently is based on
the idea that Wilson is in better
health than generally supposed, but
that he is keeping quiet waiting for
the psychological moment.
No Evidences Of Illness.
In support of this it is pointed out
that he is attending to his oficial
duties as usual, and that Cabinet
members saw no evidences of illness
when he presided at the Cabinet ses-
sion last week. Also all Democratic
Presidential possibilities except
Mitchell Palmer are keeping in the
background, evidently not knowing
what Wilson intends to do, and at
