nouncement. made public by Acting
Secretary Davis at the War Depart
mont, follows:
Early In the morning Of April
Secretary Weeks had q thrombosis of
one Of the small branches of the mid
die cerebral artery. producing
weakness of the muscles of the left
arm No other symptoms have result
ed. Considering the rapid improve
ment he has made in the last 4s
hours, Mr. Weeks should be out in
short time"
May asH Cabinet.
In the interval since he returned
he ha. been exercising his functions
as Secretary OF War. Papers deal
ing with important War Department
business still were being sent to his
residence today for his consideration
Because OF his health. however, in
agreeing last month to continue as
Secretary of War in the Coolidge
cabinet, Mr.. Weeks did so with the
understanding that he might return
to private life II his physical condi-
tIon at any time required lesseninE
of physical exertion.
Trombosis is an obstruction of the
blood circulation by a clot, which in
this case apparently has lodged In
the brain. A stoppake Of any pro-
portions there would have immediate
fatal results. and even in a milder
form might cause paralysis.
Urged to Retire.
Although these alarming symptoms
had not yet developed, the Secretary
nevertheless had been urged by men,
bers of his family to retire to private
life. During the latter part Of President
Harding's administration he was under
care of physicians, who ordered him to
refrain from exercise of an intensive ma
ture, prohibiting even his customary
golf games, and laying out for him a
rigid diet.
Under this treatment Mr.. Weeks
general condition showed improve
msnt, and he was rarely absent from
his desk at the War Department The
Improvement was of such a satisfac-
tory nature that he was encouraged
to discard for the time being the idea
sf giving ~ his place In the cabinet.
