BREACH OF LOYALTY,
BRITISH VIEW.

GENOA, April 49, (By Associat-
ed Press. )-"This action of the Ger
mans is an absolute breach of loyalty
to the general idea of the Genoa con-
ference, and in that sense is dishon-
orable and challenge to Europe"
said the authorized British spokes-
men to the Associated Press in dis
cussing the signing Of the Russo Ger
man treaty.
Nevertheless" )" the spokesman
continued, "the British delegation
does not think it will result in the
breaking up of the conference even
though Germany has broken loose
from it,"
The signing Of treaty between
Germany and Russia, which nullifies
the Brest-Litovsk treaty and re-es-
tablishes full diplomatic relations be-
tween these two countries on basis
of equality has caused profound
astonishment and resentment amogn
the Allied delegations. The minis
ters of the powers which convened
the conference decided at meeting
held last night to have a committee
of experts examine this treaty this
morning, to determine whether it
conflicts with the Cannes Resolution
OF the Treaty of Versailles.
Subsequently the converting pow
ers were to meet with Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia to ascertain views
of the lesser powers and deal with
the report of the experts.
The action of the Germans and
Russians, on first announcement, had
an almost stunning effect on the Al
lies. Premier Lloyd George said he
knew these countries had been nego-
tiating for months, but was not aware
they had signed treaty until late
Monday.
The situation is so critical that the
most prominent delegates are reserv-
ing. their opinions until after the ex-
perts examine the new document,
which is generaly regarded in Allied
circles as an infringement of the
Genoa agenda, because it has to do
with reparations and affects exist
ng treaties. The French have insist
ed that neither Of these things should
be done. Clearly there are stormy
times ahead.

HOOKS PRIZE FOR
FISH YARN WHEN
HE HOOKS EAGLE

w. NJ. Humber has been awarded
the local prize for fish yarns. He re-
Gently spent few days at Spring
Greek, Fla, with Mrs. Humber, their
son and G. o. Loving. Mr.. Humber
reports that while trolling in the bay
with a motor boat for a sea bass a
fish eagle, very large bird, sight
ing the whirling spoon bait about 18
inches under the water 400 feet be-
hind the boat, dived and caught the
bait in his talons, the concealed hook
at the same time being caught in his
claw. I he bird fought to free him
self for some time, circling over the
boat and alternately pulling the line
nearly to its full length and being
drawn in, until it became exhausted
and fell into the water near the boat.
While the occupants Of the boat were
attempting to beat it with paddles
and drag it to the boat the hook be-
,ome dislodged from it's foot and it
flew away.
Shortly afterward the Humber
BOAT met sail boat and on it was
George Walters, of Americus, who
was also out fishing from another
point and witnessed the fight.
Not satisfied with game of this
size, Mr.. Humber is planning on
hooking and landing tarpon as soon
as this big fish appears in the gulf in
May.
