Mr. Fiood .- d. "cxonerated General
Harts. As -oon as General Harts heard
of alle1 privorn atrocities he pro
Ieded to correct them. Most of the
occurrences were recorded before Gen
eral Harts took charge of Paris affairs
and conditons certainly improved un

Mr. Flood said the accomplishments
of Anierican expeditionary forces
were phenomenal and unparalleled.
Never before hga there been such a
swift application of intelligent energy,
said he.
"I do not agree with Representative
Bland's somewhat comprehensive criti
cisni of the Akmerican army in France,"
said M\r. Flood.
"The buildinis alone, if placed end

Brest to the Russian frontier of Ger

vision was made for an army of 6,000,

these a.chievements.

ment's.
Washington, Sept. 2.-PresIdent
Wilson returned to Washington today
. . . ' interrupted tour for th( peace
treaty. Ho lwas able to walk through
the railway station from his special
train t. a White H1ou se automobile,
and was takel at once to the White
llouse. where it was Said there was
litttle hange inl his coldition.
Presid(nt Wilson returned to Wash
ington today, to all outward appear
anc(-.s on the road to recovery from
the nervous exhaustion which inter
rupted his speaking tr ip for the peace
treaty.
Leaving his bed virtually for the
first time since his special train start
ed homoward Friday from Wichita,
Kans., the President walked unsup
jiorted and smiling through the rail
way station to a waiting automobile
and later in the day took a two-hours
motor ride through Rock Creek park.
Dr. Grayson. the President's per
sonal physician, said his patient's con
dition .was as good as could be ex
pected, though a period of rest from
afficial cares would -be absolutely es
sential to completo recovery. The
afternoon ride was prescribed to give
MIr. Wilson sonic fresh air after two
and a half days of continuous confine
ment on the train.
Although he walked with an ag
gressive swing as he passed through
the railway station, the President was
feeling some weakness, Dr. Grayson
said, from a bad night's rest while his
s)ecial train was racing eastward.
Tonigiht he retired early after dinner
with his family at the White 11ouse
and Dr. Grayson was hopeful of a re
freshing sleep.
All of Mr. Wilson's engagements
for the iear future have been can
relled. and his physician will insist
upon a real vacation. No definite de
cision has been reached whether he
will romain in seclusion at the White
House or go to sonic rest resort, but
the indications were that the Presi
dlent would not leave the capital soon.
After a run of nearly 10,000 miles,
the presidential special reached Wash
ington at 11:15 this morning. Await
ing Mr. and 'Mrs. Wilson when they
alighted from their private car was
Miss Margaret Wilson, the President's
daughter. Outside the station he en
countered *he last of the many crowds
that greeted him on his twenty-five
day tour, and he was cheered as he
walked through the station concourse.
Ilelpiug Mrs. Wilson and Miss Mar
garet into tho automobile, the Presi
dent elinibe-1 in beside them unas
:isted. Doring the afternoon ride he
was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and
Dr. Grayson, rwho had shared the tack
of caring for the President during his
illness aboard the train.
The only formal expression from Dr.
Grayson during the day was a bul
letin istued just before the train ar'
i'ivedl in Washington. It saidl:
"The President had a poor night's
rest, but lhe is doing as well as could
be expected In the circumstances."

Those Who See The
POST-WAR
MAXWELL
WANT ONE
It's a great tribute to the keen minds and good taste that
made the Post-War Maxwells so handsome, to find that so
many who take one look at this car want one.
There have been, in other days, cars possessed of beauty
that was only paint deep, but nearly all are "orphans" today.
Not so with the Post-War Maxwell, because the major ef
fort, the vast expenditure, the employment of superior brains,
all have been devoted to a mechanical excellence.
Beauty came last with Maxwell executives; and it arrived
last. But it's here now, and nearly everyone will say it's
"liberally endowed with things that please the eye."
If it pleases you---take one ride. You will get a "feel' that
you will remember many a day.
That delightful castering effect in steering which a new
type front axle gives, that mental assurance you experience
when you throw on the emergency (it's up on the transmis
sion shaft), that troubleless electric system, that clinging-to
the-road feeling t t a heavier rear axle supplies! i
300,000 mighty o d Maxwells are on tbesworld's high
ways to-day. Al the qualifications they possess and many
more come with the Post-War Maxwell, and you pay only
$985 f. o. b. Detroit.
