Many friends and confidants came into Woodrow Wilson's life after he en tered tbe White House. Many also passed out. Of all those who came two notably remained to his dying moment. One was bis physician, Rear-Admiral Carey T. Grayson; tbe other was Bernard M- Baruch, the New York financier and counsellor on the Intricacies of tbe post-war prob lems. Of the two, Mr. Wilson's relation ship with Dr. Grayson was the more personal, the bond between tbem was almost that between father and son. Mr. Wilson's , friendship for Mr. Baruch, although personal, al so was sustained on the foundation of two minds that ran along to- getner on common courses. Grayson, the confidante and friend of two president's ,4fore Wilson, orougnt to ma -cnier rtKhes of na ture which many declared were not part of Mr. Wilson's natural equip ment. fsevertbelBH, it was a pro- found respect for those attributes which grow into close friendship and companionsnip.

Hattery A. 148th field artillery or aeatn was a atroke of nnralvaia which followed bis collapse In the late summer of 1919. Like Warren O. Harding, ho was stricken while on a speaking trip In the west. Up to tbe time of his collapse the coun try thought him a normally healthy man, but he was far from It. He entered the White House with a well developed start toward Bright's dis ease which caused his physicians to perdlct that he never would finish his first term. But by careful de votion to his doctor's orders he fought off the malady. He was prac tically blind In one eye from .a re tinal hemorrohage which came while he was still at Princeton University, it was oerore ne bad suffered a Thrombosis a blood clot In his arteries but It was in one of his legs and never developed any serious trouble. The same thing in his brain later on laid Mm low and led to bis death, ,1 By his own personal directions, the exact nature of bis fatal illness was concealed from the world for months because he feared public knowledge of It, while be was presl dent, might lead to a stock market panic and possibly far-reaching con sequences to a world then passing through the first stages of post-war reconstruction. Some of tbe details came out piece-meal and over a long period of time. Others have not been hitherto published. It is appro priate to give them now that he 1b dead. Tne first Indication of serious ill ness came during the night of Sep tember 26, 1919, while the presi dent's special train was between Pu eblo, Colorado, and Wichita, Kansas, coming eastward on the return part of his speech making trip. The In creasing strain upon his physical re sources had been growing apparent, the breaking point was so near. There was no truth in rumors that the president bad become Incoher ent during some of his last speech es, although It was true tbnt he had displayed great emotion whlcb was uuusuul for his manner of speaking. When Mr. Wilson finished at Pu eblo that afternoon be was exhaust ed and covered with clammy pers piration. An examination by Dr. Grayson disclosed nothing markedly wrong and he was put to bed. Mrs. Wilson remained up with htm, and be complained of restlessness. Soon after midnight he complained of feel ing 111 and Dr. Grayson found him In a state or nervous exhaustion, witn the right side of his face twitching as it often had done before when he was very tired and worn out. But the physician was alarmed and shocked to note a drooling of saliva from a corner of the president's mouth and also a drooping of the facial muscles nn thn left side. Re oatnlilng Immediately that a stroke of paralysis was Impending,' Dr. Grayson warned Mr. Wilson of his grave condition; strongly suggested that be cancel tbe remaluder of tbe tour, and immediately return to Washington: and in conclusion, that be try to get some sleep. "I won't be able to sleep at all. Doctor, if you say I must cancel the trip." Mr. Wilson responded. "Even if giving my own life would accom plish this obpect, I gladly would give It." The physician took steps to cancel the remainder of the speaking en aragemenls and bring the president to fire the guns, snd the order f rom j Ing to the entreaties of Mrs. Wilson.

He looked pale and drawn, but be walked with out assistance and returned tbe greetings of a small crowd or trav elers which he passed at the station. For the next few days. Dr. Gray son prescribed a routine of "no work and no worry." The coming visit of the King or Belgium to the White House was postponed. The period of rest seemed to be making good pro gress and on Septemebr 30, Dr. Grayson announced that the presi dent had passed the best day since the beginning of his breakdown. He was permitted to sign some bills and congressional resolutions, nomina tions and dictate some brief letters. About 4 o'clock on the morning of October B, Mrs. Wilson heard the president in the bathroom calling In a weak voice. Dr. Grayson was sum moned and found Mr. Wilson pros trate on tbe bathroom floor.

Once In bed, the president seemed to regain his senses and murmured that he felt sleepy. The tell-tale drooling saliva from the president's mouth and the twitching of the face were thore again. They wroto their own diagnosis. Woodrow Wilson had been paralyzed on his left side nnd lay In the shadow of death. With the first movement of his lips be ex tracted a promise from the doctor and his wife, that his condition, if serious must not become known. Dr. Gravson summoned from Phil adelphia, Dr. Francis X. Decrum, a foremost specialist. He also called in Rear-Admlral H. K. Stltt, of the medical corps and Sterling Muffin, Mrs. Wilson's fam ily physician. A two hour consultation develop ed the agreement that Mr. Wilson had suffered what is medically known as a cerebral thrombosis a blood clot In one of the blood ves sels in the right side of his brain. Its effect was to Impair the motor nerves of the left side as well as the sensltory nerves. For the next week, Mr. w nson hovered between Hie and death.
