plane expedition.

are long overdue on their return, un
less they have reached the pole and
are spending more time there than
was'planned in advance.
Latest advices from the North
American Newspaper Alliance were
that no word has been received from
the planes. The airships are not
equipped with wireless and no infor
mation can be obtained until the
party returns to Us base or some
other station. Tho crew of the nio
torships Kram and Hobby, however,
express complete confidence in . the
safe return of the filers.
The distance 'to the pole from
King's Day, Spitsbergen is ti80 miles,
which Captain Amundsen expected to
negotiate in about nine hours. If a
favorable landing place was not found
at the pole the journey franj King's
Ray and return should have occupied
about eighteen hours and the party
should have arrived at its base yester
day afternoon.
Captain Amundsen's greatest dan
ger and fear was that great chunks of
ice, half buried in the snow and in
visible from the air would tenr the
planes to pieces when they landed.
There was also the danger of unpre
dicted storms and the possibility of
head winds slowing down the flight of
the planes until the two hour margin
in his gasoline supply would be con
sumed. - The gasoline cargo will
supply the engines for about 1600
miles normally.

"WASHINGTON, May 23. (A. P.)
President Coolitlge suffered an at
tack of indigestion today, but his
physicians announced that the indis
position was yielding promptly to
treatment.
Nothing "of a serious character'
had developed they said, and al
though all engagements for the day
were cancelled, the president went
forward , with his plans to leave the
White House for his customary Sat
urday afternoon cruise on the May
flower. Tho attack followed closely, upon
Mr. Coolldge's arrival at his desk this
morning. He immediately returned
to his room in the White House and
lay down for a while, but before
noon he was able to receive som
callers and do some routine work in
his study.
The two White House, physicians
who had been called to care for him.
sent out word that the attack had
been of a minor nature, and that no
serious consequences were feared.
Despite his indisposition the presi
dent, received Senator Borah of the
foreign relations... -committee whom
he had' summoned for a conference
earlier ;ln the day. Sitting up, he
talked with the senator for ten. min
utes on a point relating to Interna
tional matters.
There had been no previous out
ward evidence 'of Illness, though it
was indicated that Mr. Coolldge had
been feeling the effects of the In
creasingly hot weather of the capital.
Mr. Coolldge went to the office at
the usual hour, but soon afterward
told his secretary that he had de
cided to go back to the White House
and He down for a while.
In all there were but three callers
on the list for today, Saturday usu
ally being a clay of few conferences.
Senor Jose Delcarmen, the Domini
can minister, called at the wmio
House to present Senor Don Federlco
Velasquez, vice-president of the Do
minican republic, but they were un
able to see Mr. Coolldge. One of
the btUer cancelled engagements was
with a group of visiting police chiefs.
Ordinarily Mr. Coolldge's health
seems to be more robust than Is ordi
nary for n man of his years. He has
arcely missed a day away from his
desk ince he entered the White
House. Yesterday, however, he suf-
ferd from the heat and has consulted
specialists periodically1, on that' ac
count. Recently he has applied him
self even more closely than usual to
the duties of office, working' Jong
hours and omitting many social en
gagements. Last year he went witn
Mrs. Coolidge to the circus and when
circus time came around again a.
week ago, a box was reserved for
him but only Mrs. Coolidge occu
pied it.
It has been customary, too, ior
presidents to attend tho annual horse
ihow here, but this year Mr. Coolldge
sent word he would he unable' to go.
