FRANCE EXPECTED
TO INSIST BERLIN
WASHINGTON, May 21. (A. P.)
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.

How Tree Hunt Yielded Leprosy Cure
WASHINGTON, D. C. 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

"IJy llif Old Moulmeln Pagodas"
"Our nath layass the Kawke
roik hills, which are covered with
glorious verduc and it was in this
region that I Hist encountered Tarnk
toceno.i Kuizii. Unfortunately. 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

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. Only a
few hours before the big. cut had
stalked over the .sandy trail lo his
haunts In tho dense; low, bamboo for
est, which wo had to penetrate in a
bent position in order to reach tho
Kalaw trees.
'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.
