Toward midnight the patient was given a blood transfusion, after which he appeared to evince slightly more strength.

These men volunteered their aid, and they asked that their identity be un- disclosed Hold Another Conwultation. It was decided to hold another con- sultation of physicians before noon today to determine upon the next step. It is to be decided whether or not to continue the transfusions and whether another operation will be helpful. They were considerably disappointed at the reaction that fol- lowed the operation Saturday night. Edward T. Clark, the DPresident’s personal secretary, has remained close at hand at the hospital, and it has been he who has furnished the news from the sick room to the newspapermen; C. Bascom Slemp, the President’s secretary, who has been away for three weeks, returned to Washington today and was at the hospital for a while this morning: ¥rank W. Stearns of Boston, intimate friend of the Coolidge family, and John Coolidge, the elder son of the President, have made frequent trips back and forth from the White House. Operate Saturday Night. The operation performed Saturday night was on the left leg below the knee. Strangely enough, to the lay mind, the infection—from a blister formed during a tennis match last Monday—began on the right foot. The efforts of the surgeons were pro- nounced as having accomplished all that could be expected, but the grav- ity of the situation was not allevi- ated. President and Mrs. Coolidge spent Saturday night and last night at the bedside of their son. The President visited the White House for a short time early yesterday, but returned later to ine hospital. They motored to the White House for breakfast this morning, returning at once to the hospital g The mother and father are taking the illness of their son much in the fashion that the average American parents would act under similar cir- cumstances. President Coolidge has endeavored for the past several days to carry on his work as far as pos- sible, but ever with an eye on the sickroom. Mrs. Coolidge has been at the bedside constantly. No official bulletins have issued trom the White House. Information as to the condition of the boy has come always informally, as would be the case in most American homes. A constant stream of messages of hope for young Calvin's recovery came today to the Executive Mansion. At the hospital numbers of friends called. PRAY FOR RECOVERY.

The nited States ambassador, Frank B. Kellogg, would also attend as had already been announced by the Amer- ican government, Mr. MacDonald said. The business of the conference would be limited to bringing into concert the necessary arrangements for putting the Dawes report into operation, the prime minister said.
