Mr. Wilson, according to Dr. Der cum. realises that he Is a sick man and ia making an effort to cease chafing under the restraint which compels him to relinquish temporarily the helm of the administration. By nature, said the neurologist, he Is a "hard msn tc handle." from the view point of a physician. "The president is not the type of man to be worried by his symptoms." said Dr. Dercum. -This led him to overtax his strength when he should have been husbanding It, after the strain of the peace conference."

CITIZENS CALLED TO ARMS Government Asks for Help in Keeping Order. MEN'S PAY IS HELD UP Statement Declares That Walkout Leaves Strikers Liable to Big Damages; Truce Rejected. LONDON, Oct. 3. (By the Asso ciated Press.) After seven days the railroad strike situation tonight be came the gravest In the history of any labor crisis or the British empire in the present generation. AH efforts of the transport workers' federation to find a bridge to enable a renewal of negotiations between the govern ment and the National Union of Rail waymen failed. The government's proposal for a seven-day truce for the railroad men to return to work and permit resump tion of negotiations on the disputed points, coupled with the offer by the government to resort to arbitration in the event of failure to reach an agree ment, has been rejected by the rail waymen's union and the whole possi bility of mediation for the moment seems to have collapsed completely. An appeal has been made by the government for a citizen army to protect peaceable citizens and to aid In the work of maintaining the supply j of food. The executive body of the National Union of Rallwaymen has disbanded for the purpose of engaging in cam paign meetings throughout the coun try. A congress embracing all the trade unions or the United Kingdom has been' called to convene Tuesday to discuss the situation. 4 Pay for Week Withheld. Premier Lloyd George insists the railway men must resume work be fore - negotiations can" be- reopened. Many telegrams Were received at the local headquarters of the national union from provincial branches to day urging that- the premier's ulti matum be accepted, but it was said by leaders of the organization that the government's order withholding the men's pay for the last week they worked had precluded resumption. Responsibility for withholding the men's wages is assumed by the gov ernment in a statement issued last night. It says: "The members of the National Union of Railway Men broke their contracts and stopped work without notice in complete disregard of the effect their action would have on the persons and property of ordinary cit izens in their charge. Strikers Liable for Damages. "They inflicted damage " on innu merable people, left food upon which the public depended for subsistence to) go to waste, put vast numbers to great expense by leaving them strand ed without conveyances and inflicted great losses upon many by preventing them from reaching destinations. The damages to which they are liable in law are vastly greater than the amount now being withheld. "If an early resumption of work occurs, different considerations may arise. In the meantime, the country Is still subject to unexampled injury by the railway men's action and, in these circumstances, the government would not be Justified In handing over to the strikers a sum which would be used for prolonging a struggle under taken without any ' consideration for the welfare of the public and which is endangering the whole life of the na tion." Both Sides See Victory. Newspapers which strongly support the government claim the latter is winning and urge no surrender. Strike leaders claim their side was winning. J. H. Thomas, leader of thi railwaymen, has sent a message to The Herald, labor organ, which reads as follows: "Rallwaymen showed the world they could fight the Germans and are j now showing they can fight for free dom here." , Several newspapers comment ad versely on the decision to withhold the last week's pay of the men. It is admitted the government's action hangs on a strictly legal point, but it is urged It will infuriate the strikers. The Mail says this action will "spoil the government's handling of the sit uation," and denounces it as a "sig nal folly." LONDON, Thursday, Oct. 2. (By the Associated Press.) The National Union of Railway Men headquarters has prepared the following message to the people, signed by Secretary Thomas, to be shown on the screens of motion picture houses: "The railway men are not fighting the community. I have always done my best to avoid strikes, . I did on this occasion. But those who wanted to fight labor rendered my efforts ineffectual. We are fighting for the lowest paid wage earners against a conspiracy to lower wages. If the wages of the railway men are reduced other trades will follow.

At 7:30 tonight Lieutenant-Colonel Hartz, Lieutenant Harmon and the two army master electricians, forming the crew of the Martin bomber which has start ed on a flight around the "rim" of the United States, reached Camp Lewis in an automobile. They reported that, due to the fog, they had continued on beyond Camp Lewis and finally found a landing place near Loveland, Wash., on the Mountain highway. The airplane left Spokane" at 11:30 A.

Cir cling above the landing field prepared for him at 3 o'clock, he suddenly made off In the direction of Camp Lewis. American Lake. - It is probable that Portland today will be visited by Colonel Hartz and the Martin bomber. In which he is making a tour around the rim of the United States. Colonel Hartz landed yesterday afternoon at Loveland, Wash., near Camp Lewis, and it is expected that he will continue his trip today, although no definite announce ment to that effect has been received. If he does he will probably spend to night In this city. Much of Fllsht Uncharted. When Colonel Hartz and his drew of four reached the Pacific coast they completed the first half, and by far the most dangerous half of their trip around the border of this country. They have flown over hundreds of miles of uncharted country, terrain over which the failure of their motors probably would mean the loss of their lives and the destruction of a 350,000 airplane. FLIERS MAY PLANT TREES Seeds Would Be Scattered by Air plane Over Burned Areas. WASHOUGAL, Oct. 3.

TEXAN WORKS MASTERFULLY Green Lad Is Brilliant Under Great Stress. TRIUMPH WELL EARNED Grantland Rice Compares Achicv ment With First Appearance of Christy Mathcwson. BY GRANTLAND RICE. CHICAGO, Oct. 3. (Special.) Just at the moment the baffled Sox were on the verge of disappearing from the series . completely, a young left handed Texan by the name of Dick Kerr stepped over the prostrate forms of Eddie Clcotte and Claude Williams and turned the rushing Reds Inside out. v Mr. Kerr Is brief In stature, thin of form, young in years, light In weight and short on worry. He is only a trifle larger than the round shell he employed to blow up red trenches. But with all his lack of physical power and testing experi ence he carried along the three great essentials of success, no matter -what the game courage, brains and skill. The star young Texan knew well enough that today was the vital spot along the Sox hiirhwsy. He had seen the great Clcotte shelled to the show er and the brilliant Williams over powered. He knew that defeat in the first stand at home meant utter and ignominious rout. Faces Enemy Vndnunted. In the face of this testing occasion he stepped out in front of Red bats with his pulse pumping a normal beat and, to the Immense Joy of some 30, 000 Sox fans, halted the confident en- . emy with three scattered hits and no part of a run. He triumphed by the count of 3 to 0, and thereby lifted his waning mates once xrore Into the thick of the gay end giddy skirmish, for where Ray Fisher, the veteran, faltered but once with a wild and woolly peg to center field that tossed away the game, Kerr held to the course without a quiver. He was a debutante along the world series firing line, but he worked out a ball game that will take rank with the master achievements of IS. years of world series work. Reds' Get Only Three Hits. Kerr allowed three hits, but one of these was a puny infield scratch and the other two were far from lusty blows. He gave but one pass and as the battle moved along he in creased his effectiveness, until through the last five innings he had the Reds rolling back in a crimson tide from the plate to the bench. One by one from his perch in the rifle pit he sniped them in turn as' the last 15 men came to bat, and not a one of these had an outside chance to get as far as Chick Gan dil's station only 90 feet away. Only reached third and after the third ln- "'"B iverr permmeu dui one ouit- colored blow.. The young Sox star wasted no time in sprightly poses or in vain, unseem ly motions. He seemed to understand that his Job was to put more stuff on the ball than the Reds had on their bats and with this estimable purpose in view he cut away all waste mo tion and began to stand the Reds upon their closely-cropped heads. One, Two, Three, Is Rule. Of the 30 Reds who faced him. no less than ZS took a vain whack at the ball and then sat down moodily upon the visiting bench to announce that "the kid never had a thing." They never have when you can't hit 'em. Nothing at all! AU that Kerr had was keen speed, a cracking curve and control that carried both where he decided to plant them. He looked to be as much master of the field as Christy Mathewson looked 14 years ago to the hour, when he shut out the slugging Athletics In his first cham pionship game. But where Mathew son was then an experienced veteran. S feet tall and carrying 200 pounds of brawn, young 'Kerr Is only 5 feet 7 above the sod, weighing hardly 150 pounds. The big feature of his first cham pionship was the rare coolness that he showed at every turn and the un ending grip that, he kept upon his nervous system until the last Red faded out. Sox Take New Heart. The young star, who had divided most of his baseball experience be tween Texas and the Kerry Patch of East St. Louis, has undoubtedly put new heart Into the Sox and has great ly discouraged the Red dream of any carefree, romping conquest. As Kerr's left arm rolled back the Reds, it was the vast power con cealed In Ray Fisher's right wing that tossed the White Sox out In front The Vermont schoolmaster In the main moved steadily along, but It was his own misplay In the second Inning that put the skids under his mates and broke up the battle. Joe Jackson had Just opened this inning with the first Sox hit. Felscli followed with a sharp bunt that came Concluded on Page 2, Column 3.)
