lassitude in her lower extremities is
said to be passing. She is not, how.
ever, as has been stated, a victim OF
paralysis.
Physicians say that the case is an
entirely new one in Washington and
although the symptoms are said to be
similar to those of the real sleeping
sickness. caused by the bite Of a GER
tain tropical fly, the lack of swelling
of the lympatic glands leads to pos

DENIES BLOCKADE
HOLDS BACK FOOD
Authority Corects Miscon-
ceptions About Furnishing
Relief to Enemy Countries.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 15.-The following
statement regarding the working OF
the blockade and the question of
feeding enemy and other countries
has been received from an authorita-
tive source by Reuters limited:
There are certain misconceptions
to the effect that the blockade is re-
sponsible for keeping food out of enemy
countries. This is not the case. The
blockade was undoubtedly the most
the collapse Of the enemy. and the
retention of it's machinery until the
conclusion of peace is regarded by the
highest allied naval and military
opinion as absolutely Indispensable; !;
but it is not the desire of the allies
to use it for the purpose OF prevent
ing food from reaching starving
populations.
No Obstruction to Relief.
"As to the machinery of relief. the
supreme economic council in PARIS IS
the authority charged with this work
IN enemy and other countries anu oi, nt
this council the blockade ministers OF
the great powers are represented. II
is for this supreme council to declde
what measures of relief shall De
adopted and there has been no ob-
struction on the part of the blockade
ministers to any proposals Tor tne
provision of food that have been made
by the council
The difficulties are, however. for
midable and form some of the great
est problems that any statesmen nave
had to deal with. In the case OF Ger
many, the main difficulty has been the
refusal of that country to give up her
merchant ships. which would be used
largely in the relief of Germany her-
self and other countries.
Other Countries Need Food.
'It must not be forgotten that the
situation in the late Austro-Hun-
garian empire is at least as critical
CHerbert Hoover. director general OF
the intera1lied relief organization)
statement of what has been accom-
plished already is, incidentally, a re-
minder that there are other countries
some of them friends and allies
that are also suffering from the pre-
vailing acute shortage. If the ship
ping situation is also difficult, the
German attitude in regard to their
own shipping and their policy Of in
discriminate piracy during the war
are largely responsible.
So far as food relief is concerned.
the allies are sincerely anxious to do
all that is possible to feed the starv-
ing populations of Germany and Aus
tria, but in the case of Germany, at
any rate, the degree to which such re-
lief can be given depends to the larg-
est extent on Germany herself. A diff
ficulty of great magnitude is the
question of finance. while the disor-
ganized and defective state of trans
port facilities in enemy countries does
not make the task of the allies any
easier"

Allied Pact With Germans
Paves Way to Settling of
Other Problems.
VICTORY FOR AMERICANS
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
stan Correspondent Of The sunday
Star,
(By wireless.

(By wir-less.l
PARIS, March 15.-By agreement OF
the allies with Germany regarding the
Mr.. Hoover today, a great stride has
been taken toward the settlement OF
other problems before the peace con-
ference. inasmuck as France forsak es
the policy of demanding all gold Sc
curities as indemnity.
Germany's Agreement.
Under the agreement Germany
places one hundred and twenty five
million dollars gold in the Bank OF
Belgium as security, advancing the
money within three days and turn
ing over the merchant vessels within
thirty days, nine of these to be sur
rendered for the United States within
three days, to be used as troop trans
ports
In turn the allies agreed to ship into
Germany 10000 tons of fats and 100000
tons of other foodstafys: monthly. The
allies have sufficient foodstuffs at hand
to insSre immediate deliveries. and now
realize that these should go in at earli-
est moment
The allied policy now is one Of credits
toward a bankrupt. 1t is realized that
unless life is sustained in Germany the
latter cannot pay the huge reparations
to be demanded at the peace conference
and the French abandonment of the old
opposition to this policy is a step for
ward toward final agreement on other
questions standing between the allies in
regard to the policy to be pursued to-
ward Germany, financially and econom-
ically.
Blockade Modified.
As a result of the agreements ef-
fected the blockade against Germany
will be removed materially Exports
will be permitted these to go in part
payment for the food. The allies fur
nlshed Germany with a special list of
products barred to export, such as
would give them an advantage over
certain industries they destroyed in
Belgium and France
The American delegates absolutely
refused to grant Germany an unse-
cured loan, as asked. The lessening
of the blockade that Germany may pay
for and pave the way for rehabilitating
industry is a victory for the American
policy.

plea for more intensive education
OF the child, the youth and the adult
along lines far different from those
now in use in primary schools. high
schools and colleges was sounded by
Mrs. Marietta l.. johnson of Fairhope,
Ala, at meeting of the Association
for Advancement of Progressive Edu-
cation. at the Public Library, last
night Mrs. johnson said one of the
first principles of progression in edu-
cation is to mark out the educational
aim and to attain that aim.
Needs Of Childhood.
But the think which 1 insist every
one should know and trust in is the
needs OF childhood" she said .'The
public schools. the high schools and
colleges are not meeting the needs of
childhood. 'Bowlegged' brains are as
common through undereducation in
childhood as actual bowed legs are in
.he physical body. 1t is to prevent
such malformations that we must
change our educational principles"
To Illustrate her points, Mrs. John
son cited what she termed the incon-
sistency of the present method of
making children take home with them
in the schoolroom- She said that the
child becomes so absorbed with the
home atmosphere that he fails proper
ly to acquire knowledge of his les
son and fails to appreciate the true
meaning of his task. For this reason,
she said, school lessons should be
learned in the Schoolroom.
Argues Against Mental Repression.
Mental repression is had far tha

ing for knowledge, instead of being
given it willingly. are turned back
from knowledge and thus mental re-

that the teacher wants answers to
