Physician Admits
Partial Paralysis
in Wilson Illness

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. 1.-THE Bal
timore Sun published copyrighted
dispatch from washington giving an
Interview with DR.. Hugh III. Young
Of Johns Hopkins hospital at Balti-
more on the condition OF President
Wilson. DR.. Young has been one
Of the physicians in attendance upon
the president. DR.. Young in part
said: rS
''From the very beginning the med
ical men associated with the case,
have never had anything to conceal.
When first saw the president in Oc-
tober, a crisis had arisen of sucn
gravity. owing to the development Of
prostatic obstruction, that an emer-
gency operation to relieve this sit
uation was contemplated, but by a
fortuitous wholly unexpected change
In the presidents condition. the OBJ
struction began to disappear.
"The improvement in this respect.
which has been steady is now COM
plete. The president was organical-
ly sound when saw him first, and l
found him not only organically sound
when I visited him last week. but
further, all the organs were function
ing in q perfectly normal, healthy
manner.
1.-THE presidents general condition
and specifically the slight impair
ment of his left arm and leg have
improved more slowly. 1t is true, but
surely, and steadily. There have been
no setbacks, no backward steps and
rumors to this effect are rubbish.
"As you know, in October last, we
diagnosed the presidents illness as
cerebral thrombosis, which affected
his left arm and leg. but at no time
was his brain power or the extreme
vigor and lucidity Of his mental pro-
cesses In the slightest degree abated.
This condition has from the very first
shown steady, unwavering tendency
toward resolution and complete ah-
sorption. The increasing utility OF
the left arm and leg, greatly impair
ed at first, has closely followed on
this Improvement. The president
walks sturdily now. without assis-
tance and without fatigue. And he
uses the still slightly impaired arm
more and more every day.
"As to his mental yigor, 1t is sim
ply prodigious. Indeed, think In
many ways the president is In better
shape than before the illness came.
"You can say that the president Is
able minded and able bodied and that
he is giving splendid attention to at
fairs Of state, and that we have
every assurance that he will become
progressively more active in these
matters with the advent OF spring
and sunshine.

Rome, Feb. 12.-The two secret
documents which the Idea Nazionale
says were exchanged last fall be-
tween Serbian and French govern
ments-the Serbian document pro-
posed q military alliance and the
French document responded sympa-
thetically but with reservations--are
published by that newspaper today.
The Serbian proposals, the Idea
Nazionale says were entrusted to n.
F. Pachttch and NJ. Trumbitch to
submit to the French premier.
George Clemenceau, and read as fol-
lows,
In the event Of conflict be-
tween the French ana the Mediter-
ranean power. Serbia will mobilize
It's feet, requisitioning the merchant
marine. The moment hostilities are
declared Serbia will attack. Serbia
also will put at the disposal of
France. her railways connecting the
ports on the Ionian sea with the
Dalmatian coast.
France Is to leave Serbia free
concerning the future settlement OF
a naval base at Cattaro. the defenses
Of which are not to be dismantled
so that In case Of need they can
readily be put In an efficient con-
dition. France pledges herself to aid
In the building and formation Of a
Serbian merchant marine fleet and
also guarantees the integrity OF the
teYritsry granted Jugo- Slavia by the
treaty Of st. Germain without, how
sver, engaging herself to give mill
tary aid in the event OF Balkanic
CONFLICT.
This military accord will be par
Of q secret convention LASTING

renewal"
The treaty Of alliance can be pub

deem such action necessary aftel

two countries.
The second document. according tc
the newspaper. contained the French
answer declaring that the protect

NOTE OFWARNING
Comptroller OF Currency Points Out
That Seeming Prosperity May Be-
como Artificial and Deceptive
Says Present Indications Of Wealth
Ars Not True Representations.


Washington, Feb. a.. Warnins
that the prosperity and activity
shown by banking f.sures may be-.
come ARTIFICIAL ana dscepuvs. was
given today by John Shelton VIII
Hams, in his report - comptroller Of
the currency. Remarking that in
1910 there was not a national hank
failure involving loss to deposltors
and that the banking power of the
country has increased $50 per cent
In the last thirty years, he added:
"A large volume Of money can not
mean increase Of wealth while there
Is a decrease Of production, and the
accumulation and movement Of our
rency represents abnormally inflated
values put on essentials.
1T is clear that no country can
be enriched by merely increasing
prices. Of products produced and con-
suned by it's own people. We might
prosper for tho moment If we, could
sell products abroad at higher prices
and take payment in gold .,r at nor
mai prices; but we gain nothing
when we sell and buy at corr aspond-
ing abnormal prices.
