Genoa.-Russia, the status of which
is one of the questions of supreme im-
portance to be decided by the economic
conference, came to the forefront soon
after the opening of that great assem-
bly,. Speeches had been made by the
presiding officer, Premier Facta OF
Italy; NJ. Barthou, representing
France; Premier Lloyd George, Of
Great Britain; Dr. Wirth, of Germany.
and spokesman of Japan and Belgium,
all of conciliatory nature and volcing
adherence to the Cannes resolutions,
upon which the gathering is based.
Lloyd George had said all the dele
gates met on footing of equality. pro-
vided they accepted the conditions sar
forth, which, briefly, declared that
countries must not repudiate their
contracts; that they must not wage
war on the institutions Of another;
that they must not engage In aggres-
sive operations against others. and
that the people Of one country should
be entitled to justice in the courts
of another.
George Chitcherin, Russian Soviet
foreign minister, speaking for his dele
cations, announced adherence to the
resolutions and declared Russia was
ready to support any proposals that
would avoid war or tighten the burden
of armament.
NJ. Barthou Immediately protested
and declared, with some heat, that
France would absolutely refuse to dis
cuss the question of disarmament at
this conference.
Lloyd George FASTENED to intervene,
and in his contention that disarmament
could not be taken up, certainly not
before a peace basis had been reached
at Genoa, he was supported by Sig
nor Facta.
Eventually, the discussion on this
point ceased, after Chitcherin said the
Russian delegation would bow to the
collective will Of the conference.

Free Camps For Tourists.

Free Camps for lourtStS.
Free camps at points along the State
roads of Maryland will be thrown open
in few days for the use Of tourist
campers and vacationists.
Arrangements already have been
completed for five of these camps. It
is expected that several others will be
secured within the next two weeks.
According to present plans, those to
be opened this summer will be along
the main roads leading from Baltimore
over the mountains of Western Mary
land. II the scheme is successful
camps will be set up at frequent in
tervals along all the State roads next
summer.
John N. Mackall, chairman OF the
State Roads Commission, has been ar
ranging for these camps. Sites have
been secured near Frederick, near
Frostburg. near Lisbon on the Fred
erick pike, near Hancock, and on Con-
ococheague creek. Several other sites
in the mountainous section of Mary
land are being considered. Mr.. Mack
all said, and it is probable that ar
rangements for these will be com.
pleted in the near future.
There will be no charge to those
who care to camp on the sites, Mr..
Mackall explained. Each site will be
financed and patrolled by man. who
will be given the concession of run
ming a store on the property. This
man will sell canned goods and similar
articles likely to be desired by the
tourists. Campers will not be COM
PEELED to purchase from him, but Mr..
Mackall assumes that they will want
to buy such things rather than carry
these from place to place.
