Woodrow Wilson, who has made 4
game uphill fight for the last thres
years to regain his health, may re.
cover completely from the stroke Of
paralysis which came upon him as the
result Of arduous labors in his great
battle for the league of nations. Mr..
wilson never will recover the robust
health he enjoyed during his presi-

gained easily. But it is believed that
the effect of the paralysis soon may
disappear and he may again enjoy
free use Of his arms, legs and muscles.
