Several physicians who have exam

case as petrlfcation or ossiHcation Of
her limbs The legs are dry and
shrunken. There Is no flesh on them
except a shrivelcd and hard brownish
substance I'm which there Is no feeling.
They are bent slightly at the knee and
have been In this condition for over
year The hands and arms are not 80
hard. but there Is no sense OF touch I'm
them. They have lain folded across the
womnn's breast for ten months.
Mrs Fredericks' mind is unusually
clear and active She can only express
herself by cultural mutterings. how

the last few weeks OF attacking her
vocal organs. Dr. II. G. Bradstreet. her
physician. says her case is without
hope. She can eat only gruels and soft

According 10 the view of officials

States to accord recognition OF Gei

OF Belgium territory controlled by the
Germans as German territory in ad.

come only with peace I'm Europe.
The German government, II is un.
derstood, takes the position that &C will
not recognize the exequatur furnished

authorities here as reasonable under
