sounds of shots and shouting which
lead people several blocks away to be-
lieve that a murder had been commit

Police officers saw a man lettering

The man, who later claimed he was
waiting for his daughter, supposed the
cops were hcldup men and started to
run. The officers gave chase and fired
in the air to scare him into stopping
but he only ran faster. At last he
reached him home where the whole
thing was explained when the officers
arrived shortly afterward.

ISTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. NJ SERVicEI
LONDON, May 1.-The advice of the
L. S. will be sought by the allies on
the future policies toward Russia and
Germany before the forthcoming con
ference at Spa makes any definite de-
cisions. it was learned from an au-
thoritative source today.
All Of the vital peace issues invol-
wing Germany will be threshed out
when the allied statesmen meet the
German envoys in Spa late this month
1t is probable that some of the al
lied decisions. notably the future at
titude of the allies towards Russia
may be announced before the confer
ence opens.
il is understood that Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British ambassador to the
L. S., has been instructed to discuss
fully tho Russian situation with the
American state department.
France already has handed TO the
German government a full list of the
allied claims under the treaty of Yer
sailles, and they will be pressed Wig
orously.

Allies Will Seek us.
Advice on Spa Conference

Premier Millerand, OF France. Is
scheduled to arrive at Folkestone on
Friday for q long conference with
Premier Lloyd George. It is believed
that the foundation stones OF nnal
settlement on German affairs will be
laid. on the following Monday the
French and German delegates will
meet in Paris to discuss the economic
position of Germany and the allies
plans for the reconstruction of the de-
vastated regions.
After the Paris conference the dele
gates will adjourn TO Spa where rec
concentrations will be presented by
both sides as a basis for deliberations
on the various questions. Roughly
grouped the questions are:
1-Disarmament.
2-Economic relief.
3-Guarantees by Germany for the
complete execution OF the treaty.
4-The allies final claims
The Polish victories over the Bolshe-
Wiki probably will exert influence on
the allies decision regarding Russia.
