WEEKS |SL|KELY
TO UNDERGO KNIFE
War Secretary Will Consult
Physicians in Boston When
He Can Travel.
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Weeks of the War De-
partment, who suffered an attack of
about six weeks ago, plans
to go to New England within a few
days for consultation Of physicians
to determine whether a gall bladder
operation Is necessary.
A statement issued today by John
Martyr, Mr.. Weeks secretary, said
that the operation, If necessary, would
be neither serious nor dangerous"
THE original thrombosis attack
which Mr.. Weeks had six weeks ago
has been largely overcome and he
has practically recovered from it,
said Mr.. Martyr.
I'm the meantime he has had sew
eral occurrences Of serious gall blad-
der attacks which have prevented a
continuance of the improvement in
his condition noted some three weeks
ago.
"It is the Secretary's plan to so to
New England within a few days and
1t may be necessary, after a consulta-
ton there, to have a gall bladder
drainage operation. This operation
will be neither serious nor dangerous" !"
Guard Against Recurrence.
Mr.. Weeks suffered acutely with
the gall bladder complication a day
or two ago, but the condition yielded
to treatment, and yesterday the War
Secretary was able to go for an auto
mobile ride. A return of the trouble
still is feared, however, as he has had
several attacks of this nature since
the thrombosis attack compelled him
to give up his official duties.

FRANCE MAY SEND
DEBT MISSION HERE
BRAND and Cai|Iaux Consid.
ers Appointment of Ex-
perts Body.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, May 20.-The newspaper
Excelsior says Foreign Minister BRAND
and Finance Minister Caillaux ere
considering the creation of a financial
committee to negotiate directly with
an American committee regarding a
settlement of the French war debts to
the United States.
Premier Painleve, NJ. BRAND and
Nj. CaillauX went over the French
financial situation together Yesterday,
considering particularly the question
of interallied debts. At the conclusion
Of the conference. the official spokes-
man of the Quay d'Orsay announced to
the correspondents:
The interallied debts question may
now be said to have entered the state
of real official negotiations. II the
negotiations are not yet in an officially
international state, internal study of
the question here makes 1t certain
that they will be within few days.
Conference Called.
''The ministers Of foreign affairs
and finance will confer again this
week for the purpose of drawing up
suggestions to be presented to the
United States Government. NJ.
BRAND will be assisted by competent
foreign office authorities. including
NJ. Berthelot. general secretary Of
the ministry. and NJ. Seydoux. di-
rector of political affairs
The fact that these two high Of
ficials will attend the next conference
of the ministers Is interpreted as
meaning that the draft proposal to
the United States, including technical
suggestions, will be completed at that
meeting.
Pressure Is Denied.
The Painleve-Briand-C -Caillaux con-
ference occupied two hours. The
ministers acquainted the premier with
the present status of the work under
taken by the experts of their respec-
tive departments in drawing up pro-
posals which will be sent to the
United States and Great Britain
simultaneously. Nothing in the ma
ture of pressure, II is asserted. Is to
be found to the communications di-
rected by the Washington Govern
ment to Americas European debtors
concerning a settlement Of the debts
and the conferences now going on In
Paris will continue without undue
haste. The joint efforts of the BRAND
and Caillaux experts have reached a
point where the result can be made
known before many days have
elapsed.
The entire French press today is
adopting a much more friendly tone,
in which there is a tinge Of relief that
the United States is sending no Off
cial note to France. The newspapers
urge the government to make all pos
sible haste in submitting proposals
acceptable to Washington. The Petit
Parisien, the Matin and the Temps all
publish leading articles asking public
opinion to refrain from premature
Judgment and advising patience and
that the governments effort
would mot affect the relations be-
tween the United States and France,
which were never better or more cor
dial"

LONDON, May 2o.--Sterling reached

The pound sterling is making a,
gradual and apparently sure prog
ross toward a return to parity (s4.s665S
under steady support from America
and from local interests.
Today's point is the highest reached
since the resumption of the gold
standard. A reassuring effect is i'm
parted by the fact that the rate now
precludes profitable movement Of gold
to the United States, and no important
gold Withdrawals are being made for
the present from the Bank of Eng

The purchase by the Bank of Eng
land of nearly $1,000 900. worth OF bar
gold assisted the rise of the rate.

exchange now is less than 1 cent from
parity. Demand bills were quoted in
the New York market today at $4.sS

bills in this market was inspired by the
strength of sterling in the London

HALIFAX is CROWDED.
Vessels Driven From Rum Row
Wonder at Next Move.

NEW YORK, May 20 CP. Rum
ships, driven from off American shores
by the Coast Guard blockade, are
jamming Halifax Harbor as one re-
suit of the determination Of the ad-
ministration from President Coolidge
down to enforce prohibition to the
limit.
Thirteen steamers and schooners are
tied up at Halifax. Five arrived yes
terday. They don't know where to
turn. Some of them intend discharg-
ing their cargoes and returning to
legitimate freight traffic.
The determination Of the admins
tration to stake everything on the
present dry drive has been revealed
with the publication of a transcript of
the secret hearings of special Senate
committee investigating prohibition
enforcement.
Senator Watson of Indiana told the
committee that the administration
would use all agencies at its command
to dry up the country.
IF, after the law has been enforced
to the limit, the people do not want to
stand for It," he continued, 'it is for
the people to say so, and the law can
be modified

ments in Coast Guard circles that
rum row has virtually been cleaned
up. One ship of fleet of 50 rum
ships remains. 1t is a German YES.
