RAPID CITY, S. Oak. September
6.-President Coolidge announced def
nitely today that he and Mrs. Cool
idge will take up their residence In
the White House when they return
to Washington from the Black Hills
next Sunday night. 1t was only re-
Gently that the President had been ad-
vised that the White House, which
has been undergoing extensive re.
pairs and alterations, was in readi-
ness for the presidential family to
move back into it again.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
will go direct from Union Station to
the White House upon their arrival
back in the Capital. Their personal
belongings and the White House fur
nishings which had been transferred
to the Dupont circle residence which
the Coolidges used during the White
House repair work are being returned
to the White House this week. 1t is
understood that practically all OF the
things that were taken to the Dupont
circle house when it was established
as the temporary White House will
be in their proper places when the
family returns Sunday.
Friends were told by the President
today that he has not only been very
happy and comfortable during his
stay out in the Black Hills this Sum
mer, but that his health has been
greatly benefited. He said he is feel
ing especially well and that he at
tributes it to the Black Hills climate
and the fact that he has spent SO
much time in outdoor recreation.
Regrets Cecil Resignation.
The President believes that the
resignation of Lord Robert Cecil, who
was a member of the British delega-
ton to the recent unsuccessful
Geneva Arms Conference from the
British ministry will leave the British
government more unanimously in dis
agreement with the ideas OF the
American Government for naval
limitation than it was before.
In expressing this opinion to friends
today, the President said he had been
given to understand that Lord Cecil
had been represented as partially in
clined to agree with the American
cruiser proposal, and with his leaving
the ministry there is reason to feel
that the British government will be
unanimous in its opposition to the
American proposal.
This expression of views on the
part Of the President was taken as
positive proof that Mr.. Coolidge has
very little, if any, hope OF anything
being accomplished in the near future
in the way of naval limitation as a
result of the work done by the rep
resentatives of the three powers at
tending the Geneva conference.
Last Week Uneventful.
The Presidents last week will be
an uneventful one. He has made few
engageme uts for callers and none
which cali for him to do any visiting
or travelling. He expects to devote
the greater part of his time to the
business of his Office and in prepar'
ing for the removal of the temporary
White House back to Washington.
Tomorrow the President and Mrs.
Coolidge will personally receive the
officers and men of the troop of the
4th Cavalry who have been doing
patrol duty about the Game Lodge
throughout the Summer. Following
handshaking group photograph will
be taken.
