on Tokyo Troops
Lose Eighty Men in Fight
Following Refusal
To Disarm.

TOKYO. April 4.-Japanese and
Chita Red forces engaged in a sha-p
sklrmish near Spaskaya yesterday
in which the latter lost eighty
killed. according to dispatches re-
ceived from Vladivostok and con-
tirmed by the Tokyo foreign office
today.
The fighting began when 500
Reds, ordered to disarm by the
Japanese. opened fire on the
Mikado's troops. Other fighting is
reported from along the Ussuri
Railway In which the japanese. sur
fered little, the Reds being un-
trained recruits and poor shots.
The effect of the latest news has
been to hurry the Dairen .negotia-

Chita delegates. who are now re-
ported to be approaching a salts
factory conclusion. .-.....

Soviet government OF the terms
laid down as the prerequisite to
re-establishment OF complete diplo-

Russian commercial ENJOYS de-
clare that the British premier's
project is considered at least suit

discussions at Genoa can proceed.
but emphasize that Russia. in re-
turn. also will require of the allies
certain guarantees against inter
ferences in the political 0r ter
ritorial integrity OF the nation.
Won't Quarrel with Words.
The Moscow delegates will ask.
FIRST of all. specific pledges that
the European nations will refrain
from supporting movements by the
White Russians. or intervention by
any OF the anti-communistic organ
izations now fomenting schemes for
Intervention in their refugN
abroad.
These officials declared that the
Moscow government is quite will

no aggression against Russia's
neighbors. IL the allies will ex-
tract a similar guarantee from the
border nations.

by the way. they consider a marked
advancement over the present un-
satisfactory method of dealing

Fear Rigid Economic Terms.
The principal fear OF Russians in
London seems TO be that the spirit
of conciliaton which was so marked
in Lloyd Geroge's public address
will be carried out in the secret ses-
sions Of the Genoa conference. They
understand that the allied experts
are urging the PRONUNCIATION OF GER
tain very rigid economic conditions
as well as n form of eNtra-terri-
torial agreement wherby foreign
governments will maintain their
own courts of justice and similar
institutions-as in China-as a pre-
liminary to recognition.
Any such terms. the Russians de-
clare. will be opposed to the ut
most.
All of these phases Of the prob
lem. they believe. will be discussed
at Genoa. and they are willing to
enter the conference room to open
negotiations on the basis Of the

American and Teutonic
Business to "Sit In" at
Genoa Farley.

American business interests will
be represented at the Genoa eco
non!c conference. even though the
state Department has no one sit
ting in"
The German government will be
represented not only by officials
but also by representatives of its
leading industries.
The combination of these circum-
stances, according to authorities
here. will stand forth significantly
now that Premier Lloyd George has
revealed the real purpose of the
conference to be establishment of
peace and trade with Russia.
Co-Opcrntion with Germans.
The staying influence upon Amer
lean participation in the Genoa con-
ference was the belief that recog-
milton of Russia constituted the
moving force behind Lloyd George.
In its unwillinGness to recognize
Russia, there was still the need
of competing with the allied drive
for Russian trade. American and
German representatives of indus
tries. supplying such things as rail-
road and electrical equipment, will
he at Genoa for the contract let
ting.
And. authorities declare. Ameri-
can and German firms will CO.
operate to compete with the allied
designs on Russian business. 1t is
intimated that the groundwork for
this cooperation has been laid.
No Element of sympathy.
Outside of routine matters be-
tween the German and American
government which will move rapidly
to adjustment with the arrival in
Berlin Of U. 5. Ambassador Hough-
ton. there stands forth the big
problem shared by both govern
ments-that of re-establishing their
foreign markets. With American
export trade at it's lowest point in
eight years, Russia now looms as
the big reservoir.
In cooperating with German bus
mess firms, 1t Is pointed out en-
phatically, there is no element. Of
sympathy. Germany happens to
AFFORD the most satisfactory basis
for the proposed cooperation of
American interests seeking con-
tracts with Russia. ~
That the German government is
alive to the opportunity might be
indicated by attentions paid Soviet
ENJOYS to the Genoa conference
upon their arrival in Berlin. Some
observers here say. with the Ger
mans providing the contact and
American business interests the
money. a fair basis of competition
may be established with allied bus
mess interests reaehing for a big
share of Russian trade development.

Invitations Sent Out
To Peace Conference

An invitation to a joint confer
ence to bituminous operators and
miners was extended yesterday by
the House Committee on Labor,
through Representative Nolan, Cali
fornia. it's chairman. with a view to
ending the coal strike.
Mr.. Nolan. authorized by the COM
mfttee to attempt to get the oper-
ators and miners together in Wash
ington. beginning next Monday, sent
teIcerams to representatives of all
leading groups of operators of the
central competitive field. including
those OF Western Pennsylvania. and
Southern Ohio. who has previously
refused to participate in a Joint con-
ference.
The committee had the assurance
of John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers of America.
that the mine workers would join
the conference il sufficient ton
mage is represented to Justify ne
gotiations. even though all the dis
tricts do not participate. He indi-
Gated that the failure Of the West
crn PENNSYLVANIA and Southern Ohio
groups to be represented would not
cause the miners to stay out OF the
proposed negotiations. He pointed
out. however, that the acceptance o!
Invitations to previous conferences
by the Indiana and Hooking Valley
operators had been conditional upon
all districts of the Central Competi-
tive Field being represented.
Sends Two TeIeErnms.
Representative Nolan sent one
telegram to eight operators in the
central competitive field who have
indicated a previous Willingness to
attend a joint conference. and a
separate telegram to representatives
OF Western Pennsylvania and South
ern Ohio groups.
Nolan's invitation. IL accepted,

sentatives of about three-fourths of

resentatives of Illinois. Indiana and

to remedy the situation. 1t Is sim
ply inconceivable that this condition
should continue. / believe the public
would hesitate a great while before

The great sale of the st. Louis
wholesale establishments was held
a short time ago. Our buyers re-
ceived an invitation to attend and
were on hand at the opening of the
sale to get their share of the bar
gains.
Now in turn we invite you to
share in the bargains We obtained

They have brought back with
them thousands of dollars worth

counts today and these wonderful
new stocks of merchandise will be
in turn passed on to our patrons at
the same low prices. Space does
not allow us to enumerate all the

Some lots will be disposed of the
first day, but additional bargains
will be added each day as they ar
