PRESIDENT OF FRANCE FACES LONG ILLNESS.
PARIS, May 30.— President Deschanel's ! condition is causing anxiety. The Presi- . dent has a tendency to arterio-sclorosis, ; and owing to overwork his blood pressure has become abnormally high. It is feared that this resulted in a slight cerebral , lesion—bursting of a minute blood yes- * sel in the . hrain— o*n the night of his • accident. 11l other words, lie suffered ! what commonly js called, a stroke. Tlio . feeling of suffocation, which is a symp- . lorn of such a stroke, led tho President . to open tho window to get fresh air. Tho - stroke, slight as it was, caused a moinenl tary syncope and the President fell forr ward onto the track. His illness was - thus the cause rather than the result of r his accident, which explains a fact that r has puzzled tho French public, namely, s that though he is reported to be ref covering rapidly from his injuries, it* is ■: Slated ho must, have complete rest for a long period.
