BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 10.-The Baltimore Sun today published a copy righted dispatch from Washington in which was given an interview with Dr. Hugh H. Young of Johns Hopkins hos pital at Baltimore, on the condition of President Wilson. Dr. Young has been one of the physicians in attendance upon the president. Dr. Young in part said:
 From the very beginning the medi- cal men associated with the case have never had anything to conceal When first saw the president in October, a crisis had arisen of such gravity, ow- ing to the development of prostatic obStr Lctions, that an emergency opera tion to relieve this situation was con- templated, but by d wholly unexpected change in the presidents condition, the obstruction began to disappear.
 The improvement in this respect which has been steady, is now com pIete. The president was organically sound when I saw him first. and found him not only orGanicafly sound when I visited him last week. but further all the organs were functioning in a per fectly normal healthy manner.
 "The presidents general condition and specifically the slight impairment of his left arm and leg have improved more slowly, it si true, but surely, steadily. There have been no setbacl<s, no DdChN3Iu StcpS, diIi l0ihOi . bo this' effect are rubbish.
 As you know, in October last, we
 diagnosed the presidents illness as cerebral thromh hosis, which affected his left arm and leg, but at nc time was
 his brain power or the extreme vigor and lucidity of his mental processes in the slightest degree abated. This con- dition has from the very first shown d steady, unwavering tendency toward ] resolution and complete absorption.
 The increasing utility of the left arm
 and leg, greatly impaired at first, have l closely followed on this improvement. | The president walks uily now, without assistance and without fla
 tigue He uses the still slightly inn
 paired arm more and more every day.
 ''As to his mental vigor, it is simply i prodigious. Indeed, l think in many
 ways the president is in better shape 1 than before the illness came.
 You can say that the president is l able minded and able bodied and that 1 he is giving splendid attention to af- | fairs of state. and that we have every l assurance that he will become pro- gressfvely more active in these mat ters with the advent of spring and l sunshine, which cannot now be long ] delayed"
