-WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. (A. P.)
MucMiltan arctic expedition has
abandoned hope of carrying out Its
full exploration program over the po.

Curtailment of the expedition's ac

MacMillan and his explorers will

The change in plans was announc-

MacMillan that the pnrject of estab

Hubbard and flying from there over
the frozen northern sea was not feas

The veteran explorer advised society

President Coolidge 0. K.'s
Washington Agreement for
Payment of Belgian Debt to
the United States Liberal
Terms Granted Final Ac
tion Up to Congress.
nnu.sKRi.fl. -auk. in. (a. p.)
The RclKlan department of financca
today ht'Knn Ita mudy of iho aitreo
ment reached Ht WnshiiiKton for Iho
funding of thin country' obligations
lo the. United Htilten.
It is umtorato'od .that at least 48
hours must olapsu before the effect
tho agreement will exercise on Rel
gium'a finnnces can be Judged and nn
opinion rendered :ih lo whether It
is considered ftatlsfa'ctory or not.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. (A. P.)
Hearing tho personal approval of
President Coolidge. terms for fund
ing the HclKlan war debt to the
I'nlted States have been worked out
by the debt commission of the two
countries after negotiations of unusual
brevity.
Utile more than a week was re
quired to bring about nn agreement on
the payment of the little kingdom's
debt which was estimated at $4 17,
780,000 as of June 15, 1925.
The funding plan agreed on later
came In the same month that eleven
years ago marked the opening of the
World War. The terms provide for
a remission of interest on the $171,
780,000 loaned prior to the armistice
and for a part remission of interest
on. $246,000,000 borrowed for "recon
struction work."...
The agreement subject to ratlfl
ailoh'by "tnV'Amerlcan congross and
the Belgian government was described
an recognizing by the linked States of
"weighty moral obligations," as a re
sult of assurance given tho country
by President Wilson at the time of the
Versailles peace conference and also
the right of Belgium to particular and
special treatment by this nation.
Pay In 62 Years
The terms call for complete pny
mont within 02 ye'nrs.
The $171,480,000 loaned during the
time of actual fighting with Germany
is to be paid free of all accrued or
future interest.
The interest on the post-armistice
debt of $248,000,000 was fixed at the
rate of 3H lr cent. The Americans
agreed to forego a part of the interest
on this nmount for tho first ten years
and arbitrary amounts were establish
ed bringing A reduction of nearly $50,
000,000. .
The Belgians Insisted during the ne
gotiations that the pre-armlsttco loan
should be considered a debt by Ger
many to the United Slates because
such a proposal was "accepted by
President Wilson at the peace con
ference." Gorman Dent Penlcd
The Americans, however, refused lo
accept this agreement, but declared
that "while'no legal obligation rests
upon tho United States in tho matter,
there does continue a weighty ' moral
obllgalon'as a result of assurances
given which entirely differentiates
this sum from all other debts due the
United States from foreign countries."
Tho funding program in conwe-
quence laid down for the pre-armlstice
debt a schedule of re-pnyments call
ing for Belgium to pay $1,000,000 nnd
the same amount In 1HJ7 with In
creases in each of the next four yenrs.
when the annual payment becomes
$2,900,000. The annual payment then
will continue at this figure until 19K7,
when a final pnyment of $2, 20,000
will bo due. .
No! a Precedent
Concerning the post-armlstlce loan,
the settlement provides that Belgium
pay $1,470,000 as interest and $1,100.
000 on the principal for the first year.
The second year the total pnyment
will be $3,100,000, of which $2,000,000
will be Interest. The charge for in
terest then increases sharply In each
succeeding year and the payment on
principal will decrease until the end
of the len-yenr period. In the elev
enth year Belgium will pay $S. 172.000
interest and $1,600,000 principal.
Thereafter payments will remain in
excess of $9,000,000 per year until
the debt has been liquidated."
After the agreement had ben pro
nounced the Bolginns had no comment
to moke. Senator Sinoot, of Utah, and
Representative Burton, Ohio, the
American commissioners, however; ex
pressed the opinion that the terms
would prove acceptable to congress.

PORTLAND; Ore., Aug. 10.
Charles J... Newman, nt whose home
the three escaped convicts. Kelly,
Murray and Wlllos, remained all day
Monday, last night defended his action
In not notifying the authorities of the
prosence of tho fugitives. He declared
that to have made the slightest overt
notion would hnve mennt death for
him nnd, his family.
Whon'' shown a statement from
Warden Dalrymple criticizing him for
not turning In nn nlarm after , the
convicts It ft his farm for tho dash
to Portland, Newman defended his
course 'with the following statement:
t 'Tho warden ha riot yet Inter-.

Newman. "He has made no move
to Investigate the circumstances
and yet he presumes to pnss Judg

, dent that he doexn't check up
matters very carefully.
"I made nn agreement with tho
convicts when they left my place
that If my boy and the young fel

as hostuges were returned to me
nltve within two and a half hours
1 wouldn't turn In an alarm un

"However, as soon as my boy
