"Mr. Wilson had a restless night
and has lost strength" said DR..
Grayson after he had assessed
rninutely the changes of the past few
hours. During the night he took
thea sudden and decided turn for the
worse. / regard his condition as
very serious"
Spent Night With Wilson
DR.. Grayson had spent the night
at the Wilson home and with Mrs.
Wilson was in constant attendance
at the bedside. He had returned to
the capital yesterday from trip in
to North Carolina after word had
reached him that the former presi-
dent had developed symptoms of
new character.
The present complication, al
though a surprise to those who have
been accustomed to see Mr.. Wilson
taking his daily automobile ride
nthrough the city, or his weekly trip
10 the theatre, was not wholly un-
expected to. his physician.
Lingering Affliction
Outwardly the former president
had appeared to be in large part his
old self, except for deepening OF
the lines of his face and the linger-
ing afflication to his left leg, which
prevented him from walking except
with evident difficulty. He has
gained in weight and at distance
has the appearance of having taken
on new robustness during his long
months of semi-seclusion.
During the past few weeks, too
he has taken an increasing part in
public affairs again. He has been
very active in his exchange of letters
with old friends, and admirers over
the county, and many of his letters
have been on topics of current poll
fical interest and have been publish
ed.
President Coolidge was one of the
FIRST to send a message of sympathy
When he heard of the serious situa-
4iofs-of his predecessor, he and Mrs.
Coolidge conveyed a message in
which they included a prayer for
recovery.
On Armistice eve he delivered his
first address by radio from his s
street home, and it was such mill
kant utterance on foreign affairs that
lhe whole country realized his illness
had not modified the intentness OF
his old fighting spirit whatever 1t
might have done to his physical
nlertness. He also received group
of admirers on Armistice Day, and
two weeks ago shook hands with
members of the Democratic national
committee as they filed through his
study.
In Delicate Condition
But those who knew the inside
ny Of the years of solitude through
64ch he has passed. were amais u
the delicate balance upon which his
physical strength has rested, and
lsI,ew how it had tilted now this way
and now that, throughout the gall
liant fight of DIR. Grayson-not only
his physician, but one of his closest
personal friends--to avert a crisis.
1t was for this reason that every
disorder, even of the most inconse-
ouential character on its face. has
been watched with the minutest care
and not without misgivings.
The first symptoms of the latest
attack developed early this week
when Mr.. Wilson became prey to a
Hdieestive arrangement. at first Of a

Hill Lewis claims the following is
a true story of recent hunting eX-
perience he had and it can be taken
as literally true because Hill is in the
sawmill business:
He went deer hunting, saw one,
fired, knocked the deer over. He dis
covered a moment later that the bull
let had gone through the deer and kill
ed a twelve-pound trout in the lake
close by. Tracing the course of the
bullet he found that a bee-tree
had been hit and perforated and a
stream of honey was exuding from
the hole Hill stuck his finger in the
hole, looking around for stick to
cork it with, when bear, attracted
by the smell of the honey, came up.
Hill was annoyed at the interruption
and with one hand gave the bear a
petulant shove, throwing him back
some distance into the brush. After
stopping up the hole, he went to
where the bear fell, found its back
was broken and that it had fallen on
and killed six fat partridges. Re
turning to the deer and dragging 1T
out of the shallow water of the lake
into which it had fallen, he discovered
that it was five-pronger and on each
of the five prongs on either horn was
impaled big trout.

had long planned a trip through the

in order to talk with the people and
get their reactions. Though tired out
and far from well, he started on June
several members of his cabinet. After
delivering several important addresses,
notably n advocating American men,

to Alaska. Returning thence to San
Francisco, he fell i'll there on July %.
Four days later, on August 2, he
passed away. The taking of his body
back to Washington, the services
there, the trip to Marion, Ohio, and
the interment there of the little towns

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Germany's internal troubles, politi-
cal, economic and financial, were in
~extricably tangled up with her inter-
national woes and brought her to so
low a state that her regeneration
seemed at times almost hopeless. Roy
alists, separatists and communists con
spired, ~revolted and rioted. Unem-
ployment increased and in the cities
all but the industrial magnates and
the profiteers were reduced to near
starvation, although the crops were
large and the rural districts we're over
running with food stuffs. The govern
ment tried to meet the situation by
keeping up the flood of paper marks
and Of course the mark declined until
billions could be had for one dollar
and those who had anything to sell
efused to accept the practically
worthless currency. In August Chan
cellor Cuno presented a rescue plan"

German PREPARATIONS and complica-
them occupied much of the attention
of European diplomats. Early in jan
uary the allied premiers held a futile
conference in Paris. and France pre-
pared for separate action to collect
from Germany. About the same time
Secretary Hughes announced the Unit
ed States would not consider Berlin's
proposal for a four-power European
peace pact and also informally adj
vised France not to occupy the Ruhr.
France, however, was determined, and
the PREPARATIONS commission gave her
the opening by declaring Germany in
willful default in coal deliveries. Ger
Britain not approving, the French on
January IL began the occupation of
the Ruhr, Selling it's most important
cities one after another. President
Harding expressed his disapproval by
recalling the American troops from
Germany. Chancellor Cuno, with the
support of the reichstag, declared a

the French. The mine owners and
later the industrial magnates fell in

French were baked In their efforts

the region. They seized customs, bank
funds and railways, and arrested many
industrial leaders and officials, but the
passive resistance was not broken IN

ton was assisted actively by Belgium
