Of Cermany's Offence.

by Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Genoa. April 19.--The expected
German demand for discussion Of her
case before plenary session OF the
economic conference will prove
mortal blow TO the conference Il is
declared In French communique is-
sued here today, dealing with the Rus
20 German treaty and the attitude of
the allies In considering Germany
eliminated from further discussions
of the Russian question.
The communique says that for the
first time since the signing OF the
Treaty of Versailles. the world sees
the names Of the representatives OF
the nine powers making an entente
affixed to a-document which protested
German conduct.
The communlque Insists that the
dragging Of the controversy into the
fun session Of the conference would
bring about a situation which Europe
wishes 10 avoid. namely the lining up
OF new political groups. one against
the other. Il refers 10 the signing of
the RuBso-German treaty as a mani
lestation of the Bismarcklan spirit
which caused the allied bloc I'M
mediately 10 affirm IT'S unity"
