This date, nine y**ars ago, the great World War had just

On Sunday, as the events broke, all Athens drunk in the

SAN FRANCISCO — The
President, of the United
States is a sick man
Howserious the illness
may be was not said, late
Sunday night, beyond the
statement that "new symp
toms have arisen during the
day, indicating complica
tions in the case of the Chief
Executive.”
Though the illness may
be a passing one, it wav
thought serious enough tr.
bring about the cancellation
of the President's entire
California program and to
bring into consulation two of
the leading California phy
sicians.
A bulletin lhaued early Sunday
by Brt,. den. Sawyer, tho persona/
Physician of President Harding,
stated' "The President In murih
better, but the facta aro that he lie
n really sick man, suffering from
a violent attack of ptomaine poi
soning."
After that bulletin was Issued
tho ITtsIdent developed other
symptoms of a more serious na
ture nnd another physician was
called Into consultation. As no
rapid Improvement was shown by
the President, it was thought best
to eSIl two mors physicians in
to consultation.
The four doctors met In consul-
tution and after a rather lengthy
conference emerged from the room
without Issuing any statement, al
though Gen. Sawyer had previous
ly announced that following ih«
consultation, n bulletin of the Pres
ident’s condition would be made
