PREPARATION PLAN
BEING DISCUSSED

Genoa, May (By the Associated
Press).-The German chancellor, DR..
Wirth, and the German foreign minis
ter, DR.. Rathenau, were summoned to
Premier Lloyd Georges villa today
and remained for several hours in
conference with the prime minister,
Lord Birkenhead and Sir Edwa I'd
Grigg. Both Germans and British
were communicative regarding
the subjects discussed, but rumors are
current that plans were considered
for ameliorating Germany's repara-
tions situation.
The English delegates have an
nounced that they still adhere to the
suggestion for meeting of the sig
natories of the Versailles treaty either
at Genoa or neighboring city be-
fore May 81 to take under advisement
measures which may be necessary re-
specting the German reparations pay
ment due on that date, which Ger
many has announced inability to pay.
The longer the Russians study the
memorandum on Russian reconstruc-
tion the less it seems to appeal to
them. Rakovsky, Chicerin and Lit
vinoff have expressed their surprise
at some of the sections and the
divergence between the allies caused
by France and Belgium holding out
on Article 6 has greatly strengthened
the Russian position.
1t is expected that the Russians
will reply to the memorandum on
Saturday. Meanwhile they are using
their advantage skillfully. Their ex-
perts are digesting the various sec
tions at Santa Margherita, where the
whole delegation is working steadily,
with the exception of Chicerin and
Rakowsky, who came to Genoa for a
short time today.
There is much speculation on
Frances position since the confer
ence between Premier Poincare and
M. Barthou. Mr.. Lloyd George and
the entire British delegation are still
optimistic that the allies will agree
on the Russian memorandum and that
the Russians will accept in such a
manner as to reopen Russian trade.
Acceptance by the Russians of the
powers terms will crown the Genoa
conference with success, declared
Baron Hayashi, Japanese ambassador
to Great Britain, in an interview to-
day.

IRISH FACTIONS
ARRANGE TRUCE

Dublin, May (By the Associated
Pres) The peace conference be-
tween the rival factions in Ireland
met today and decided upon a truce
beginning at 4 o'clock this afternoon
and lasting until the same time next
Monday.
The conference was a most friendly
one and the fact that it was prolong-
ed Is taken here to point to the ar
rangement of plan for unity which
the Dali Eireann can accept tomor-
row. If any such agreement is reach
ed it is believed to mean an improve
ment in the position of Eamon De
Valera and his followers, who would
be given a chance to share in tn
portfolios of the dali cabinet. Like
wise the dissident army supporting
the De Valeraites would coalesce with
the official army general headquarters
and it's generals resume their high
commands in the reunited body.
Moreover, De Valera's persistent
protest against June elections would
be met since the new parliament to
debate the constitution would be
elected without contest, labor being
given a due share in the new body
This instead of displacing the dali in
June, would give it new lease on
lifes sduring the transition period
which, however, must end before next
1n.n,,, ,ln,, -.
peace treaty preScribes that Fr.2
State election sshall be held within
II months of the signature of tn
treaty.
These concessions already have
been virtually secured to De Valera
by the document agreed to by Michael
Collins and Richard Mulcahy as the
basis for peace. The important point
of difficulty concerns the area of the
new parliament's jurisdiction au'l
raises the whole partition question.
The rival military chiefs had no
difficulty today in arranging tl.c
truce, which suspends hostilities, in
c1uding acts of aggression against
persons or property and virtually
stops recruiting by either force.
The provisions of the truce are
Clause /: All operations except
training and ordinary army routine
will cease.
Clause 5: Both sections will coop
crate to maintain order and prevent
acts of aggression against persons or
property.
The document is signed by Owen
O'Duffy and Rian Lynch, the chiefs
of staff of the rival factions

open and entered. Two safes were
blown open. One was B. B. Myers

postoffice adjoins his store. Three
hundred dollars worth of stamps and
