GROAT (United Press Staff Correspondent.) ERLIN, Oct, 13-—(Delayed)—The allies have proposed an international blockade against soviet Russia. The suggestion was made to Germany to day in a note which also was ad Greased to Austria and neutral coun tries. The notée’s receipt here followed the allies’ most recent note to Ger. many, defining their attitude toward the Baltic attuation ang the presence | of Gen, von der Golta’s troops. The communication proposing the blockade on olshevik Russia asked what measures Germany was pro pared to take tn assisting the move- ment. At first, it was stated official- ly here, that Germany was willing | : ! : to cooperate, but was incapable of extensive measures. Germans Oppose ‘The feeling later, however, as ex pressed by responsible authorities, was that Germany ought to decline, as a matter of principle. It was stated. that Germany likely would re-| | ply to the allies that she could not be a party to an action which would | result in a starvation blockade such as she herself had suffered. Germany also is expected to point | out that the non-Bolshevik elements | would suffer as much under the| blockade as the Bolsheviki, As a/ counter proposal, it was learned that | Germany might suggest an interna-| tional commission to seek a course of harmony “in the spirit of the/ league of nations.” The allies’ answer to the latest |German note with regard to the |Baltie situation, has lessened the tension in Germany. While the al- Hed attitude was decidedly firm, the| Germans consider it was friendly | jand do not expect the blockade to |be renewed. ¢ cabinet, which will decide the| jal position, as regards the pro- posed Russian blockade, has not yet been summoned. | Arrest Wearer | of Stolen Suit Stepping out of a cigar store at) Second ave, and Washington st.| Monday, Sam Cheldeff recognized a suit which had been stolen from his | room.

As| noted yesterday, his pulse, respiration, heart action and blood pressure are normal. The statement was signed by Dra. Grayson, Ruffin and Stitt. temperature, BY HUGH BAILLIE (United Prom Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Investi- fort to ascertain just how {Il Presi- dent Wilson is, and whether the many rumors with regard to his con dition have any foundation in fact, today showed the following results 1, Officials in close touch with per song who frequently see the presi- | dent declare they believe he will be back at his desk, transacting execu- tive business within a month or s#tx weeks. 2, No matter what may have caused his Ulnoms, he is getting well now and has been showing steady improvement for the last week, ac cording to the best information at the White House. 5. Senators who are in good standing at the White House, and who are presumed to have access to information there, may he is at the Present time handling some execu tive matters, 4. Report that he never will com- pletely recover, and suggestions that he should step aside and let the vice president take hia place are con- demned in administration quarters an political torpedoes designed to shake the faith of his supporters in him and in the league of nations, 6, Altho there has been no official denial of the reports that he suffered & lexion of the brain, a blood clot, or apoplexy, the impression given is that what caused his illness is not the main consideration now; that he in on the road to recovery, and that in the most important fact in the cane, 6. The belief that Wilson will be back at work within six weeks is not generally shared. One senator who in supposed to be in touch wéth the White House thought he would be laid up three months. 7. Believing the statements on Wil- pon's condition have not been suf- ficiently informative. some senators friendly to the president are privately discussing the advisability of recom~- mending that a full statement be iamyed to reasmure the country. Information as to the president's | ® actual condition, if it in to be cred- ited, naturally must originate with persons who have seen him recently. Persons who have seen him recently are his four doctors, Cary T. Grayson, Sterling Ruffin, F. X. Dercum and E. R. Stitt, Mra. Wilson, Margaret Wilson and the trained nurses. Therefore it will be seen that the field for investigation of original These are the only ones who really know, at first hand, what Wilson's condition is at present. Says Brain Clear With regard to his mental state, one who has talked with him within the last few days, mid: “His brain is as clear as yours.” Senator Hitchcock, who has not seen him, but who is very close to persons that have, said: “He ts not incapacitated in the slightest respect.” Secretary, Turoulty, whose manner was strikifgly depressed at first, seemed quite bis old self today, and in talking to friends, gave ‘an im- pression of optimiam. The president's ailment, according to Grayson, is nervous exhaustion. The principal danger—and this danger is said still to exist—is that the nervous exhaustion might lead to nervous prostration or something even more serious. The remedy is rest. Physicians say that in cases of nervous exhaustion, a deep disap- pointment, a shock or mental over- exertion, may cause a relapse. While Wilson must remain tn bed for an extended period, this does not necessarily mean that he cannot con- sider executive business, even tho in bed, it was pointed out. Wilson, it was learned, is aware of the suggestions that have been made that he step aside in favor of the vice president, and resents them. In spite of this, some senators friendly to him have sald privately they thought !t would be a good move for Wilson himself, if he faces a long period of fliness. to ask Marshall to act for him temporarily.
