Official Washingtou read with in terest today ovvrnight news dis patches presenting new developments in the inter-allied debt situation, lately revived by announcement that this government la desirous of recelv fng from its nine Kuropean debtors proposals for settlement. Particular attention was given to advices from London crediting Wil liam R. Oreen, chairman of the ways and means committee with tho opin ion that France might insist upon relating her debt nfiyments to re ceipt of reparations from Ciermany. In a copyrighted story In the Hai ti more Sun, Mr. Green declared he saw little prpspect of early settle ment of the French debt unless Washington agrees to the reparations proposal. Italy's debt was brought Into the foreground yesterday by premlor M ussolini who told tho senate that taly's sacrifices In the World war should entitle her to preferred status In regard to payment although ho declared his country will face Its debts, compatible with economic and financial, conditions. Premier Mussolini's statement that' Italy's creditors should ,bo lenient ind that her debt payments should bo conditioned on her ability to pay reflects the wish of this government not to harass its debtors and avoid harsh terms. WASHINGTON, May 21. (By Asso ciated Press.) With France, Belgium and Efuhonia leading the way, offic ials hero are optimistic that the six other Kuropeon debtors soon will find the way clear to begin negotiations looking to funding their war obliga tions to this country. President Coolldge shares with Secretaries Kellogg and Mellon the hope that tho entire debt situation will bo clarified within a reasonable time, but there is no desire or inten tion to unduly press tho question. Neither do officials expect the foreign governments whose notes are held here to rush to Washington with com plete, detailed plans for settlement. It Is hoped, however, that those powers will find the occasion suitable for at least discussion with the Amer ican debt commission of terms of set tlement upon which agreement could be reached. News from Paris that" Premier Painleve, Foreign Minister Brland and Finance Minister Caillaux had dis cussed together the debt situation evoked much interest hero. An offic ial spokesman of tho Qua! D'Orsay announced that the debt situation could -be-said to have entered- the state of "real official negotiations," and that the three leaders would con fer later this week with experts of the foreign office. The conference will consider sug gestions for a settlement proposal which will be sent simultaneously to Washington and London, the impres sion in Paris being that It would be ready this week for transmission.

Release of four lepers as "cured" from the Na tional Leprosarium in Carvlllo, Loui siana, after treatment which Included the use of chaulmoogra oil. Is the climax of an adventurous chapter in plant exploration. ' Joseph F. Roek, leader ot the Na tional Georgraphic Society expedition to Yunnan, province, China, is tho plant hunter who braved tigers, croc odiles and wild elephants to got seeds from the chaulmoogra tree so plan tations might 1)0 established In Hawaii which would yield the healing oil. Recounting his experiences during his tree hunt In southeast Asia IJr. Rock writes to the National Geo graphic society: "Chaulmoogra oil Is ontnincu irom the seeds of a tree known ns Tarak togenos Kurziiking, named by Sir George King in honor of its discover er, Kurz. Treatment Known to Natives "The natives of southeastern Asia have long known of the curative pro perties of Chaulmoogra seeds In skin diseases and especially in leprosy. They rclato in their prc-Budtllilstis legendary history that one of the Burmese kings exiled himself volun tarily and retired into tho Jungles, making a hollow tree his abode. Here ho partook of tho fruits and leaves of Ihe Kalaw tree Taraktogenos Kuzzii) and in time his health was restored. "Owing to tho high price of the oil in tho United States and tho probable scarcity of it in tho near future, duo to Its successful application in the natment of leprosy in Hawaii. I was authorized to obtain seeds of this species, to bo introduced into Hawaii and our tropical possessions, with a view to establishing Chaulmoogra plantations." (In his senrch for the Chaulmoogra tree Dr. Rock wont first to Slam, entering that country by way ot Singaporo. He proceeded by rail to Bangkok, thence to Chiengmal and back to Korat, then to Chiengmal again, down tho Men Ping rivor to Rnheng, across country by way of Mesawt, Kawkarolk, and Kyondu to Moulmeln, to Amarnpura, Sagaing, and Monywa by rail, up the Chlndwin river to Mawlnik, then eastward thru forest and over mountain to Kyokta, where the seeds were finally obr tulned.) Swims ill Crocodile liters "At Chiengmal I chartered a house boat for a Journey down tho tortuous Meh Ping river to Rnheng, and thence overland to Moulmeln, Burma. I left Chiengmal December 2, 1920, on a commodious house-boat manned by a Lao crew, an Interpreter, a would-be cook and boy. Many times during the dny I would stop the tho boat and climb the mountains to cxploro the forests and collect plants. "The river at tills season being low. It was difficult to make a landing. We tarried only long enough to dis nose of many bngs of rice, the cause of our constantly grounding on sand banks. Once I lost patience ami, "e Ing in negligee, 1 quietly Jumped overboard and swam nhead of the boat, expecting it to follow soon. Anxious calls from the captain urged me to return to the boat, quite a ou flcult matter against the current. The waters, I learned afterward, are said to he Infested with crocodiles. "When 1 called on the governor of Mesawt he was holding court for the trial of elephant thieves, who carry on a. prosperous business near the border. Leaving his chained prison ers sitting on the floor, the magistrate accompanied mo to the rest-HoUBe where Siamere officials stop when en route fuim Rnheng.

It was n In fruit. I was In formed by a Burmese village quack that July Is tilt month in which the Chaulmoogra fruits ripen. "We hurried on and finally reached decadent but beautiful Moulmeln on Christians eve. "My next point of venture was the Kalaina -ango of the Martalian hills, where the natives said Kalaw, or Taraktogenos Kurzll, could be found. "The muuntains rise abruptly from tho plain, are strewn with hugo boul ders, and are Intersected by numerous rocky creoks on w,hose. banks grow a species of Hydnodnrpus, later Identi fied as H. castanea, . and called by tho natives Kalaw, but it was not t lie long-sought-for Taraktogenos -Kurzii. "I mndo a last trip into the hills of Oktada and found , that Mr. Shawloo, my interpreter, was correct as to the presence of tigers, for. there were fresh tracks lending not far from our camp to the top of the ridge.

'In all our rambles for three days we found only one tree with some 170 mature fruits, which I secured 'and the seeds of which I forwarded to America. First Trees Found 'After two days' marching through dense forest and crossing tho Khodan stream many times, wo - reached Khoung Kyew. Here I found my first genuine Chaumoogra tree, .somo miles distant from the village proper. AVlld lephants live in herds In these Jun gles and often come to bathe In the strenm In r the daytime. First we entered a dense Diplcrocarpiis forest, then one of bamboo (t'ephalosta chyum pergraclle). and finally we reached pure stands of the genuine Chaumoogra tree, Tara ktogenos Kurzii; but, alas, no fruit! 'The headman of tho village in formed mo that there had been a very poor crop of,-seod here,, but added that a village some miles farther had had a very good one the year before, and so T decided to proceed thither. 1924 BUICK SEDAN Run Only 6000 Miles Looks and Runs Like New BARGAIN Will take trade.

"I made myself ns comfortable ns possible In my little camp on the edge of the jungle, for this village is surrounded on three sides by dense forest. The next day 1 started out with 36 coolies, determined to come back to camp loaded with Chaul moogra seeds. We had five or six miles to walk, always following a dry creek bed through the dense forest. These creek beds are as flat as a floor, with no rocks visible. For miles there was only fine . quartz tmnd, which made marching easy. "We passed through vegetation similar to that at Khoung Kyew until we struck the Chaulmoogra forests. There we separated into smaller par ties and seed-collecting began in earnest. Bears and Tiger Tracks "While thus engaged wo met a mother bear with her cub. With wild shouts from the natives she was driven off. leaving behind her young, which my Burmese coolies insisted on taking to the village. "Loaded with seeds, we started down the steep hillsides, which are covered with Chaulmoogra trees, glial at heart that at last I had been suc cessful, a.
