The president, who retired at S o'clock last night, rested comfortably through the night. The president had a fair degree de-gree of fever, although just nh:u his temperature is has not been revealed. Except on questions of the greatest importance, im-portance, no one is permitted to enter the president's room. Members of tho supreme council and representatives of other governments sent solicitous inquiries in-quiries to the "White House" regarding the president's condition. IS LABORING UNDER A TERRIFIC STRAIN. Until late today no specific bulletin was issued concerning the condition of President Presi-dent Wilson. Were it not that the president presi-dent had been under a terrific strain and deprived of his usual amount of exercise, his lines would be the cause of little worry. Since his return the president's work has been enormous and he has been unable un-able to secure more than an occasional walk at odd intervals either with Mrs. Wilson ar Rear Admiral Grayson. Golf has been dropped from his schedule, and an automobile ride now and then about the city has been the president's only form of recreation, in addition to the short walks. Rear Admiral Grayson has been con stantly on the alert watching the president presi-dent for signs of a breakdown, especially since the two days on board ship when the president was slightly ill. DOCTOR GRAYSON NEAR FOR NEEDED SERVICES. Other physicians have not been c;i!!ed In for consultation and up to midnight Fri-' Fri-' day the services ot" no trained nurses hud been solicited, but Mrs. Wilson has been always within reach of her husband, assisting as-sisting in the care Tor him. Rear Admiral Grayson is always ne.ir the president. His treatment for the patient pa-tient consists of the requirement of absolute ab-solute quiet and rest. The president's appetite today w as good, but at luncheon lie was limited to o ster soup and a lipht entree. Th.e America n executive, how ever, is sick enough to make him not cave to read. He appears to be quite content to rest and sleeps lightly from time to time. After the forenoon session of the council coun-cil today tho members on departing renewed re-newed their wishes for the rapid recov- ery of President Wilson. ILLNESS CAUSE OF MANY WILD RUMORS. The illness of Vreijent Wilson has caused numerous wild rumors to circulate in the city, and not t-en the I ecate? t hrmsehvs are immune. Colonel House had heard that the president was n-aily tlown with a .-ase ot" influenza, but Rtar Admiral Gruvson personally assured both him and the promurs that Mr. Wilsun merely had a bad cold. He warm d therm, however, that the utmost care must be ex'-rcised to prevent it from euiii- . worse. Ii. formally. t;ir proedinirs of the council coun-cil were related to the president.
