Berlin, Feb 2.-The foreign press
some time ago repeatedly stated that
DR.. John NJ. West. of Baltimore. resid- :
Ing In Berlin, had been consulted By
the German Err pc, or on account of the
cancerous condition of the Emperor's
larynx. DR.. West has been interviewed
by staff member of the Trans ocea n

ing statement.
First-Dr. West is no, a specialist
in cancer as reported His chief medH|
cal activity consists In the treatment
of diseases of the nose in connecticut

be consulted as the highest authorityI
upon cancer of the la~ynx"
Second--Dr. West has never treated
the German Emperor.
Third--He has never. as reported
communicated with anyone on thi3
subject personally or by letter.
Fourth-The falsity of statement
