to have been the original location
of the hoard.
Several companies have been

out from Kingston, Jamaica, in 1850

BOULOGNE. February 25.--Agree-
ment to q postponement CT the Genoa
economic conferences until April 10
was reached by Premier Poincare of
France and Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain at their con-
ference here today. The conference
originally was called to meet. March 8.
Mr.. Lloyd George said after the
conference there would be no necess-
ity for a further discussion of the
Franco-British pact. as both parties
were entirely agreed as to all its es-
sentials. The pact would be ready
for signature in few days, he added
Deadlock Broken.
The two premiers by their meeting
broke the deadlock after the old
diplomatic style appeared to have
led them on questions concerning the
Genoa conference. This was ac-
ton, during which they reached a
full understanding, not only as to
the conditions under which the Genoa
gathering should be held and its
postponement until April 10. but also
regarding the general lines Of the
Franco-British pact.
/ There is nothing further to be dis
cussed about the pact" Mr.. Lloyd
George said after his interview with
NJ Poincare. I'VE are in perfect
agreement on all the essential points
and the document will be ready for
signature in a few days"
The question as to whether disarm-
ament would be discussed at Genoa
was not mentioned. Both premiers
expressed great satisfaction at the
results of their talk. Premier Poin-
care left for Paris at $40 PM, and
Mr.. Lloyd George motored off on his
return journey about the same time.
Omcial Communique.
The official communique, issued
after the conference, read:
"Messrs. Poincare and Lloyd George
met this afternoon in a four hour
talk, during which they examined in
q most cordial spirit a certain num-
Der of problems, particularly relating
to Genoa.
"They agreed on the political guar
antees to be secured in order to pre-
vent encroachments either on. the
rights of the league of nations, or on
the treaties signed since the peace,
or the rights Of the allies in repara-
tions.
1.-THE experts of the different powers
will meet in London soon, and the
italian government will be asked to
call the Genoa conference for April 10.
"a complete understanding was
reached, and the two premiers car
ried away with them the certainty
that the entente may confidently be
expected to produce the best results
and that there are no difficulties of a
nolitical character that stand in the
way, of the two nations working to-

Under the Versailles treaty
France is Germany's creditor to
the extent of seventeen billion dol

the damages she suffered. France
has expected America to give help
in collecting this sum, which is
vastly more than the three billions
she owes America.
This help has failed us. l have
