Lloyd George and Italian

SOVIET HEAD FIGHTS

iEnglish Premier Makes Ap-
peal for Adherence to
Agenda of Cannes Meet

GENOA.-Admission of Russian and
German representatives to the principal
! committee of the economic conference
was strongly opposed Tuesday by both
French and Belgium representatives.
Premier Lloyd George, together with
Premier Facta and Foreign Minister
Schanzer of Italy, intervened, however,
and their concilatory attitude finally
resulted in the admittance of both the
Russians and the Germans.
Consideration of the Russian question
by the international economic and
financial conference began Tuesday
with the meeting of the Russian com.
mission appointed Monday by the con.
ference chairman, Premier Facta OF
Italy.
The clash between the Russians and
French at the opening session was still
the subject of excited comment as the
delegates gathered Tuesday. Allied
diplomats believe that only the prompt
intervention of Premier Lloyd George
OF Great Britain and the firm attitude
of the chairman averted break which
would have seriously affected the com.
ing deliberations.
Announcement by George Chitcherin,
head of the soviet delegation that Rus
sia Vas prepared TO support any pro-
posals that would avert war or tighten
the burden of armament was accepted
as a fling at the French military policy
by Louis Barthou, who heatedy de-
clarod that France would refuse to dis
cuss disarmament at Genoa.
While Mr.. Lloyd George appealed to
the delegates to adhere to the agenda
rs adopted by the supreme council at
Cannes. he made the flat declaration
a:h unless the Genoa conference leads

sounded by Mr.. Lloyd George when he
outlined the only conditions on which
he can consent to deal with others this

Freezing Temperature Follows
In Wake of Floods in Kansas
And Arkansas; Worst Passed
NeOsho and Arkansas Riv-
ers Recede During Night,
But Many LowlandS Still
Inundated

TOPEKA, Kans.-F'reezing tempera.
lures throughout the greater portion
Of the state Monday night, accom-
panied by n cold west wind. brought
added discomfort to the thousands Of
persons who were. forced from their
homes by the worst general foods in
the history Of eastern Kansas. Waters
generally are receding today but to-
days weather prediction promising
fair weather indicates that the worst
is past.
The Neosho, Verdigris, Walnut, Ar
kansas and Marais Des Cygnes rivers
were the worst offenders.
River Eight Miles Wide.
Just north Of Coffeyville, the Yer
digris river early today was eight
miles wide. All wagon roads between
Cherryvale, Coffeyville, Neodesha and
Independence were under water; in
terurban service was suspended and
railroad service was either suspended
on the Santa Fe and Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, or trains were operated
over long detours. Many bridges have
been carried out or left useless.
At Ottawa 100 families were forced
from their homes. The Marais Des
Cygnes is receding today, after reach
ing a 30 foot stage. Many Ottawa
industrial plants were put out of
commission. At Mound City, Des Cyg-
nes was four miles wide.
River Fell in Night.
The Neosho river fell here nearly q
foot last night. but many farms still
are covered. Considerable damage
has been done but with receding water
no further loss is anticipated.
At Independence the Verdigris reach
ed a high mark Of Al feet s inches.
Farmers along Rock creek We're hard
hit, being flooded out by the back
waters.
| Both the Arkansas and Walnut riv-
ers are higher at Arkansas City today
than for number of years and each
of them rose one foot in the night.
| East of the city the Walnut has
spread over many miles OF the low
lands and the present rise in this
stream is said to be due to back
water from the Arkansas, as the Wal.
nut empties into the Arkansas several
miles south Of here.
Hopeful at COffeyville.
Flood conditions at Coffeyville are
decidedly more hopeful today. The
Verdigris river reached its crest here
at 2 o'clock this morning when the
water stood 25 feet 1914 inches over
the waterworks dam. From six Ia
O'Clock this morning, fall of one
inch was hoted.
Fruit buds were damaged by the
cold around Emporia last night. The
minimum temperature was 80 degrees.
Rivers near Emporia are faeling
rapidly.
