Baltimore. February 10.-The Balti- more Sun today published a copyright ed dispatch from Washington, in which was given an interview with pr. Hugh T. Young of Johns Hopkins hospital at Ia fillmore on the condition of Presi- eent Wilson. Dr. Young has been one Of the physicians in attendance upon the President. Dr. Young. in part, said: t:
 From the very beginning the med lcaI men associated with the case have never had anything to conceal. When l first say the President in October. a crisis had arisen of such gravity, ow- Ing 10 the development of prostatic obstruction, that an emergency opera. ton to relieve this situation was con templated. but by fortuitous and wholly unexpected change in the Presi- dents condition, the obstruction began to disappear
 The improvement in this respect. which has been steady, is now com plete. The President was organicaIl Ilv sound when l saw him first, and I found him not only organicaIly sound when l visited him last week, but fur ther all the organs were functioning in perfectly normal, healthy man her.

was said to show a large majority of the trainmen favorable to a strike
 This last phase of the situation was giving railroad administration officials concern because, should the tranmen walk out almost complete tie-up of traffic could be the only result The thousands of engineers, firemen and con dEetors could not operate the trains, for in many states they would be forbidden to work under full crew. laws unless all trainmen required were on duty, it was explained. Union bylaws also prohib- tied other employees from taking out trains rot manned by the regulation number of brakemen.
 Officials of the other three train-oper- ating unions were declared not to be sup porting Mir. Lee progressively in his de- mands although he was said to have communicated with each of them before notifying Mir. Hines of his intention to cancel the wage agreement.
 MERELY A REQUEST
 The communication of the trainmen's president was said to have been merely a request for a statement from the other unions to their objections, if any, to the proposed action. The leaders are understood to have replied they had no objection, but declined to commit them selves as to supporting the proposed move.
 The action of President Barker of the maintenance of way employees was de- clared again by railroad administra- tion officials to be in violation of ihs wage agreement It was said Mir. Barker had signed the agreement only last November p. and that it had gone into effect on December 16. A search of the files in Mr. Hines office was de- clared to have revealed no communica- tion cancelling the agreement with the government. MT. Barker and a com mittee of ten are expected to reach Washington tomorrow to attend the conference of union leaders with Mir. Hines.
 Both union leaders and railroad ad- ministration officials carefully guarded the contents of the latest statement of claims and grievances made by the op- erating employees representatives. It was declared to be a summary of the views of the union leaders on Mir Hines proposals but whether it held out hope i for a compromise could not be ascer- | tained
 Union officials were not ready to make statement as to their next step in event MT. Hines refused to meet their demands. It was suggested they might appeal again to President Will son. who has been informed of the ne- gotiations Reports that the unions had such a step under consideration at this time, however. were denied consist entity by all The qualification was made, however. that events tomorrow would determine the workers future policy
 The union leaders brought up the cost of living question again today after permitting that puzzle to lie dor mant since Friday
 For the first time, it was said many of the leaders urged their, coIleap1,es to take firmer stand and demand something definite" on this from the government. They were said to have insisted that the promise of the ad- ministration to reduce living costs had not been fulfilled and that this should be used as additional pressure in sup port of their claims

fhe lower house at the time, while re- calling the conversation with Adnhral Sims much as Byrnes reported It. put somewhat different interpretation on what the officer had said He did not understand Admiral Sims to wish ato discredit the army" he said, adding:
 'I rather believed that he was sxnply telling us what he had heard and thought to be true"
 Representative whaley did not appear today because of illness. He asked to be allowed to testify Monday but Chairman Hale fixed no date for resumption of the investigation.
 Admiral Sims reference 10 the Paris conversations which prompted the calling of Representative Byrnes and Whaley and Senator Glass was made after he read a prepared statement, reaffirming his position as to naval awards and asserting that MT. Daniels method of dealing with them has in jected a "defeatist policy" into the navy department more dangerous than bolshevism to organized government.
 He also characterized some parts of MT Daniels testimony before the com- mittee as very surprising" and went into details of some cases of wards to sustain his own views.
 Taking up the statements of Repre- sentative Byrnes to the House, Ad- either misunderstood him or confused his remarks with those of others to whom they had talked in France. He had sought he said to disabuse his visitors minds of the idea that Ameri- can forces were winning the war" be- cause that was mot true" and was Hurting us with the allies"
 It was this testimony that diverted L. course of the hearing and when ~ presentative Syrnes and Senator G..lss were questioned later Admiral Sims listened closely and subsequently was returned to the stand to make a brief statement
 'If you believed the things you say I told you" he said, turning to Repre- sentative Byrnes and Senator Glass, "all of you neglected your duty in not putting tip howl to get me out of there.
 You oughtn't to have rested until you got me out of there"
 You have no quarrel with me- said Representative Byrnes, with some show of feeling. T reported to Presi- dent Wilson personally and it was his quarrel, not mine"

 The governors testimony as to Sem ator Newberry's knowledge of cam paign affairs came in the form of nu- merous telegrams exchanged between his naval office in New York and De- troit campaign headquarters, and also by records of the Biltmore hotel in New York.

 We must allow the American peo- pie to choose their own path. l am convinced. despite recent misleading appearances, that we may confidently anticipate increasing participation by the United States in the worlds af- fairs"
 Earl Curzon, secretary for forengn affairs. concurred with Baron Charm wood and said that although Viscount Grey had acquainted him with his in tention to publish the letter, it was neither inspired by nor submitted to the government.
 q consider that the letter did not savor of interference in the domestic affairs of America, and I feel no sen timent but thanks to Lord Grey" he declared.
 Earl Curzon thought that the Mar auis of Crewe was right when he said that a good deal of the peace treaty might have to be rewritten and de- vised. None of it's authors claimed that i: was sacrosanct.

Mrs. B A. Inglis, superintendent of the Baptist Women's Missionary Union of Birmingham, announces an important meeting of the executive board of the womans Missionary Union tomorrow morning at 1O:S0 at the First Baptist Church.
 A special feature of the meeting will be an address by Miss Annie L. Will Hams, in which she will present some ideals to which every society may att tain. Tn order to secure Miss Will Hams for the programme it has been necessary to change the order of busi- ness and have Miss Williams address at 10:30 before the regular business session.
 Members of the board are urged to be on time and the public is cordial ly invited.
 States share in the settlement of these regions.
 This anxiety" said the secretary. 'fs quite unselfish and sincere. I believe that every one of the great powers would have abandoned the greater part of it's individual ambition if it could be persuaded that America would come in and bear her share of the burden as mandatory for the whole Turkish em- pire.
 T won't say word in criticism, still 1 less in derogation, of America's atti- tude We may feel disappointed, but America has traditional policy which we ought to endeavor to understand | and respect. She desires to keep free from entanglements and she is the best judge of her own policy. But her re- fusal undoubtedly increases the re- responsibilities of those left. "If mandate is confided to Eng land think it is too late to talk of limiting our activities in Mesopotamia to the Vilayet or Basra and bear no share in the future control of Bag dad.
