No Genuine Sleep Illness
Here, DIR. Flexner Says
He Declares Cases of Somno-
lence i'm America We're Cases
of Lethargic Encephaiitis

Properly speaking, there is no such
disease as sleeping sickness in the
United States, or any other country in
the temperate 2ore. The rlalad "
querading under the name here rignt-
fully should be called lethargic en-
cephalitis
This was the declaration yesterday
of DR.. Simon Flexner, director of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search, lecturing at the New York
Academy OF Medicine under the aus
pices of the Public Health Education
Committee of the Medical Society of
the County of New York. DIR. Flexner's
topic was "Sleeping Sickness"
Other papers were "The Schick
Test in Dlpntheria," read by DR.
Abraham Zingher, assistant director
of the Bureau of Laboratories Of the
Department of Health, and What the
Laboratory Does in Treating Cases OF
Sleeping Sickness, Meningitis and In
fantile Paralysis" by Or. Josephine B
Neal, Of the Meningitis Division of the
Bureau of Laboratories.
Lethargic encephalitis, Dr. Flexne1
said, first appeared. Or reappeared
after lying dormant many years, ir
Vienna, in 1919. Because of war con
ditions its existence was not made
known to the medical world, and it
spread to France and England and
thence to the United States. Cases OF
it are rare here now, he said, but MAY
reappear in force at any time

however, that it deals particularly with
conditions which might result from the
suspension of warship building activ-
tiles.
At a former meeting it was declared
the committee as a whole stood solidly
behind the American naval proposals

Hostility Seems Absent

LONDON, Nov so (By The Associ-
ated Press 1.-The newspapers give
great attention to DR.. Rathenau's visit
and discuss the subject of Germany IS
finances from many angles. No con-
crete opinion has developed although
t is noteworthy that there is complete
absence OF any declared hostility to
the suggestion of a moratorium for
Germany. or any other scheme calcu-
lated to render payment OF the renara-
tiors easier.
Indeed, the tenor of most of the com
ments suggests that 1t would be easy
to bring general opinion into line with
the view, attributed to financial ex-
perts, that a moratorium is desirable
It is argued that French interests
would be served equally with British
and that France would gain more in
the long run under such a plan than
by further occupation of German ter
ritory should Germany default in her
payments.
Among the Allied matters touched
upon by the commentators is the sug-
gestion by Frank A Vanderlip, Ameri-
can banker, of an international bank
for Europe patterned after the Federal
Reserve system of the United States.
The financial expert of "The Morning
Post" says that doubtless Mr. Wander
lips motives are entirely praiseworthy,
but that his idea is regarded in Eng
land as impracticable.
The proposal by Winston Spencer
Churchill Colonial Secretary of an
England, France and Germany under
standing as the only possible means
for the financial and economic restora-
ton of Europe was prominently dis
played, but the commentators did not
refer to it this morning.

Russia to Ask

700, 900 Are Being Fed
Expectation Is 1000, 900
Will Be Getting American
Supplies After January /

RIGA, Nov. 80 (By The Associated
Press).-The United States government
soon may be asked for funds, probably
as a loan to be controlled by the
American Relief Administration, with
which to supply food and seed grain
for the entire 100000 of starving
persons in the Russian famine district.
loan, under plans informally dis
cussed by the relief administration in
Russia, would not be made to the Mos
COW government, but TO provincial gov
ernments, guaranteed by the central
government and to be repaid at the
time Of the next harvest.
The amount of the loan would be
about $5O,00O,0 900, which the relief ad-
ministration investigators believe
would be sufficient to meet the situa-
ton Information concerning the
prospective loan is indefinite.
The plan was brought to Riga by
Walter L. Brown, European director OF
the relief administration, from Moscow
According to Mr. Brown. he has had
sufficient satisfactory experience in
Russia to warrant the assertion that
he would have no hesitation in extend
ing further aid if the relief admins
tration itself were financially able to
do so.
"We are getting full cooperation
from the Sovets," said Mr. Brown
Our food trains ale arriving intact,
and our losses are less than those suf-
fered in our central European ex-
perience.
However, our feeding of the starv-
ing is extending as Director Haskell's
organization gets into full swing. We
now are feeding about 100000 persons,
and will be feeding 100000 by the
first of the year. We will be carrv-
ing out our full program Of feeding
100000 persons soon after the new

done or discussed here whereof the
French government had not already
been informed through Sir John Brad
bury.
Although British bankers look with
favor on the moratorium idea, they are
reluctant to make the huge loans which
Hugo SHINES and DR.. Rathenau are
seeking. Their future action depends
on the course of the government. Ger
manys chief difficulty is to find Sc
curity, as her customs duties already
are pledged. 1t is learned that the
Wirth government is willing to give
almost any guaranty which Britain
might ask. Increased taxation and the

London is most insistent. The issue of

Of revolt, revolt against the world
against the so-called western civiliza-
ton
remember distinctly that about two
years ago, when l just returned to
China and when certain consortium
representative went over there to in
vestigate conditions. there was a rumor
going on in China that the consortium
was going to take over the land Of
China. Immense indignation was
aroused throughout the country, and
the consortium represent tative had diff
flculties IN making his denials be-
Iieved- Now that rumors again prevail
that the consortium is going to take
over the wine and tobacco tax and the
government. railways. Indignation of
an even bigger scale has been aroused
If consortium representatives are not
to make any satisfactory denials. the
result OF such an outburst of indigna-
ton will be to hurt friendly feelings
between China and other nations.

Mr.. Bryan may not have been upon
American soil when the cup touched d
MS lips. The colonel was beaminy
broadly as he raised the cup, but al
most as soon as it reached his mouth
he shivered, and quietly lowered it
again. And then the colonel proceeded
to beam again.
Among those who have the hardest
time at the conference are the tele-
phone operators in the big hotels. The
languages spoken by the Representa-
tives of the different nations are
many, and even Washington operators,
accustomed aa they are to foreign
accents, find the understanding Of
names particularly difficult. Chinese,
Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch and
French are the languages Of the differ
eAt representatives, but many more are
represented either officially or unoffi-
cially. Next to the Chinese and Japa-
nese the French seem to give the most
trouble, and the names have ALWAYS
to be spelled out. A call for M.
BRAND, for instance, elected the reply,
We have no Mr.. A. BRAND here, but we
have Colonel Bryan. Will he do?"
10 an inquiry for a Chinese or a
Japanese the following formula is in
evitable:
Caller-Is Mr.. Komatsu there?
Operator-Who?
Caller-Mr. komatsu.
Operator-How do you spell that
name?
Caller-K Ko-m- -a-t-s-u.
Operator~-Spell that again, will you
Caller spells again.
Operator--Hold the wire, please.
Five minutes elapse.
Operator-Were YOU cs1linr Mr.
K % m at -t-s-u?
Galleries..
Operato--Well, we have Mr..
K "a a-zd-o-tu. Will he do?
Caller-No, K-o-m-a a-t-s-u-Komatsu.
Operator-W ell, there isn't any party
Of that name.
Whereupon the caller calls taxi
and goes himself to the hotel.
If the operators have their Difficult
ties. however, they are not alone. A
planning with exceptional force and
clarity a certain point about which
there appeared to be a difference of
opinion between two nations, and who
had intimated that there seemed to be
little difficulty on the part of one
OF the nations to understand this point,
was asked the following question by a
reporter:
"Mr Blank, inasmuch as all you
have said is absolutely clear and intel
ligible, wherein lies the difficulty of
comprehending it on the part of
others? %
"That, sir" replied Mr. Blank, "is
the most pertinent question asked here
to-day And then smiling broadly as
he backed out Of the room he added,
But on that point must fall back on
Diplomatic reticencc."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.--Holland
has entered the lists. She held her
first press conference to-day under the
leadership of Jonkneer van Karnebeck.
Foreign Minister Of Holland, and
formerly president Of the League of
Nations session. MIR. van Karnebeek
speaks fluent English and held forth
at some length about the Dutch pos
sessions in the East Indies. and about
Hollands interests in the Pacific.
He pointed out that this island
arohipelego stretches a distance of
nearly three thousand miles, and con-
tains population of about $4,000 900
inhabitants. AS the islands border
the Asiatic mainland, the Philippines.
Australia and New Zealand, it is easy
to sec that they are an important ele-
ment in the Pacific, and that Hollands
interests in the ultimate settlement
are therefore very genuine.
Holland, of course, has no direct in
terests IN China. but ever since, the
white races have been in the East.
Dutch navigators and merchants have
been foremost among the European
visitors to the China coast and the
Pacific islands, and the Dutch East
Indies are the great and important re-
mains of one Of the big colonial EN-
pires of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries.
The wealth Of the Indies was one Of
the great lures OF the old navigators
and caused many skirmishes beteween
the Spaniards, Portuguese and Dutch
in the old days. From the very be-
ginning the Dutch were more inter
ested in trade than in political con
trol, and therefore when the Spaniards
made war against the Netherlands the
Dutch continued to trade with the
Spanish ports in the East. All the
time that they fought the King of
Spain they were perfectly willing to
make money from the Spaniards, and
in whatever port there was a prospect
Of good turnover the ships Of the
Indian fleet called. In fact, one of the
declared that the Dutch were willing
''to sail to hell and burn the sails of
their ships, so long as there was some
good. honest barte ring in sight
Holland also gave a party recently
for the spondents Among the
most conspicuous present was Colonel
William Jennings Bryan. who travelled
with the same cape and old hack
drivers hat that he brings TO the open
sessions, ard who beamed upon every
one with his famous Bryan smile. The
colonel, it was declared, was seen to
raise a glass of-to his lips. No one
knows what was IN it, but as the prn-
cipie OF extraterritoriality applies to
foreign legations, it may be stated for
the information of the curious that
