WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Presi-
dent Coolidge, after a day of almost
complete rest, had gained mastery
last night over slight bronchial cold
which had compelled him to cancel
the days engagements and remain
away from the executive offices.
The president still was suffering
Saturday night from the cold, con-
tracted two days ago, but. White
House officials said he probably
would be back at his desk Monday
He spent the day Sunday in
much the same manner as he did
Saturday, lounging about his room
reading and sleeping, although IN
doing so he broke record OF
never having missed church at
tendance on Sunday since he came
to Washington as vice president,
The cold was described as entirely
of a bronchial nature and such as
Mr.. Coolidge had suffered from at
times for several years. 1t never
has developed into anything alarm

by a short rest. The president has
a slight bronchial weakness, and

he makes an address that gives in
dication of involving a strain on his
throat.

from Paramishiru island in a little
over seven hours.
The landing was made on Lake

HitOkappu bay, an indentation on
the southeast shore of this island.
A landing place on the lake was
prepared by Japanese and American
sailors from the destrOyers Pope and
Amatsukaze several days ago, when
it was determined that Hitokappu
bay was too rough for the planes
to be brought down safely on its
waters.
Buoys were placed in the lake and
arrangements made for the fliers
to reach the shore. This was the
third landing place chosen for the
fliers at the end of this stage of
their journey, the first, Bettobu An
chorage, on the northwestern coast
of this island having been aban-
doned in favor of Hitokappu bay
some weeks since because of ice
there.

other postponement, but from the
