Mr. Wester contracted anemia on his recent trip to the East Indies and the Federal Malay States, a trip made at his personal expense. Pepetrating the Jjungles in search of plants suitable for introduction in the Philippines, Mr. Webster returned with hundreds of specimens, whose care en route and subsequent transplantation overtaxed his paralytic body. Gov. Gen. Davis entrusted Mr. Wester with the task of beautifying the Malacanan grounds.

BASEL, Switzerland, August 18.—To- day the members of the Bankers' Com- mittee appointed by the London Con- ference to review Germany's finances are to affix their signatures to their report adopted yesterday recommending a three-month prolongation of Ger- many's $100,000,000 credit by the Cen- tral Banks and the Bank for Interna- tional Settlements. Germany is also given moral assurance that a successive similar extension will-be made, if war- ranted by necesities. Sir Walter Layton, British economist and member of the Economie Consulta- tive Committee of the League of Na- tions, who phrased the report, says that he hopes this action will contribute to restoration of confidence. Reviews Credit Situation. Plus an accompanying letter to the Bank for International Settlements, whieh had arranged with the central banks to form the committee, the report contains about 5,000 words, with an- nexes. It resumes Germany's credit situation and makes recommendations |a5 to the desirability and prerequisites | for chai short-term credits into middle-term and long-term credits. One annex is an agreement between the international creditor banks and the | German debtors and the Reichsbank. | This agreement is not complete, but it goes info tne general Teport neverthe- less. The Germans are not satisfied with a three-month extension and the pros- pect of a renewal, as promised by the central and private banks. They say that they cannot agree to this six- month extension unless the central | banks agree also, else the private banks would be left holding the bag. Polities May Return.
