Theft Was Made Between Paris and Laroche-Pars Evel ming Papers Say the Burglars Overlooked 'Resist.red Matter" but Took Diplomatic Documents Theory That the Mail Car Was Rfed in Quest of Docun,ents Relating to the Genoa Conference

Paris, April (By the A.

The other mail cars were not moiested. The bags stolen were made up and sealed in England.
 The French police are working on two theories The first is that the robbery was the work of ordinary bandits seek ing money and valuables. The other theory. entertained generally at police headquarters here, is that English mail going to Italy just before the opening of the Genoa conference might have t.1- tained matter in which many count, ,es might be interested

LODGE ADDRESSED MASS.
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Boston, April 5.-Soaring prices of Liberty bonds, and the fact that in two years the public debt has been reduced by three and a half billion dollars prove that the United States is rapidly recov- ering from the wounds of the war. Sena- tor Henry Cabot Lodge declared tonight at the annual dinner of the Massachu- Sets State Chamber of Commerce.
 A nation that has paid off in two years more than the sum-three billion doAars-that represented the total na- tonal debt of the United States at the close of the Civil war. is a pretty sol- vent nation" Senator Lodge said. This. too, when we are still so close to the great convu1sion of the war"
 Urging cooperation between Massa. chusetts and the other New England states in the effort to remove rate dif- ferentials which he said, dIscriminated against New England ports. Senator Lodge declared there had been little of such united effort in the past
 T am no admirer of sectional groups or fblocs.' he said. '5but I do think 1t the duty of every portion of the country to see that 1t receives equality of treat ment in all things that are controlled by government or laws. The great Empire state of New York has always identical ly the same interests as New England great industrial communities. dense non- ulations. and dependence for it's prosper | ity largely on the business that passes through the state.
