DISSATISFIED AT
ALLIED DELAY IN
ANSWERING NOTE
Threaten To Withdraw Document
Unless Assured OF Ample
Credits

GENO, April 29.-(By Associated
Press.) Russian Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin today sent to President
Facta, of the Genoa conference,
note expressing the dissatisfaction
of the Russian delegation with the
delay in the reply to its not of April
90, saying the note would be with
draw nand the Russians resume their
initial position unless assured thai
credits necessary to restore Russia
would be granted.
Two historic documents dealing
with the reconstruction of Russia
have been submitted by France and
Great Britain to the economic con-
ference and are in the hands Of a
special drafting committee appoint-
ed by the subcommittee on Russian
affairs, which will endeavor to har-
monize the difficulties in them.
The special drafting committee is
to report to the full subcommittee
today and the subcommittee, after
approval is given the report, will sub
NIT it to the Soviet delegation. The
French document sketched at length
means for restoring Russia's agri-
cultural and Industrial activities,
while that of Great Britain devote
more attention to credit for Russia.
France insisted on the full pay
ment of Russia's war; debts and the
restoration of private property to
foreigners; Great Britain favored a
reduction in Russia's war debt and
was willing to be satisfied if Russia
grants former foreign owners the
use of their property, instead of a
return Of actual ownership.
The adoption Of the twelve arti-
cles in the agreement with Russia
which regulate the disposal of the
Russian debt was favored by France.
She demands that the Soviet con-
clude, before'December 81, an agree
ment with representatives of owners
of Russian state bonds in order to
provide for the payment of interest.
If an agreement is impossible, ac-
cording to the French contention,
the Soviet must promise to accept
the decision of mixed arbitration
commission, the president of which
will be appointed by the chief just,
ice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, or by the League of
Nations, or by the president of the
Court of International Justice.
The French draft demanded in
case private property cannot be re-
stored that Russia shall pay indemni-
ties. These indemnities would be
provided for by an issue of new
Russian five per cent bonds.
Fridays discussion of the two
drafts brought forth a duel of words
between Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain and Louis Barthou,
chief of the French delegation, which
the auditors described as both witty
and satirical. Signor Schanzer, Italy.
as usual, took leading role in the
discussion, urging conciliation be-
tween the French and British atti-
tudes.

CROCODILE MADE EASY PREY
NAVIGATING Monsters In Borneo Fall
Victims TO the Simplest Form
of Decoy.

Man-eatfng croeodiles are one Of the
greatest causes Of the high death rate
among the natives of Borneo, where
they flourish In great numbers and
grow to an enormous sixe, often at
tanning a length Of more than 30 feet.
The crocodile hunter Of Borneo pro-
vides himself with a straight piece Of
hard wood sharpened at both ends,
and 6O-foot line of rattan. The bait,
usually a partially decomposed pig, is
dashed to the sharpened wood and
placed In a place where the crocodile
is apt to detect its presence.
When the crocodile swallows the
bait and starts to leave the vicinity
the stick is pulled Into its original
position at right angles to the line
and the pointed ends bury themselves
In his abdominal lining. The next
morning the hunter explores the vicin-
ity and discovers the coils of rattan
floating on the surface Of the water.
He then calls in about 20 of his
friends, and the monster is pulled
ashore, killed and carried to the
nearest station of the Dutch govern
ment, where the bounty Is claimed.
